2 weeks

Alright, I was bad. I didn't keep up with my blog as I should have liked to.

Basically, England was a BLAST! :D lol I loved it. We saw so many cool places, like Whitby and the Preston temple. And there was so much more, I could about write a novel on it. XD Two things really stuck out, though.

First off, I SAW THE QUEEN!!!! Yes folks, I saw the QUEEN of ENGLAND!
lol Anyways, it was amazing. We think we got video of it, but we aren't sure yet. We'll just have to wait and see.

Secondly, I SAW WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best musical ever written!!!! I LOVED it! We had pretty good seats, though we weren't in front, we weren't on the balcony either. It was.... I can't even describe it. I got this cool shirt that has the island with England on it (England, Scotland, and Wales) surrounded by green on a black background, and it's in the shape of a witches hat with a brim and everything, and it says London. It was an awesome shirt, and I just had to get it. So I did. (Cost a whopping 38 BUCKS ((19 pounds)) but I got it.)


And now for my most recent news. I'm getting a new cell phone!!!!! Alright, mine isn't all that old, but I got jealous because my sister got a cool one, and I wanted one like it. So, I'm getting the same phone as her, only in turquoise so we don't confuse them. And OMG I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!! I'm getting it tomorrow! :D

Anyways, that's it for now. I hope you enjoy reading this! :) C'ya!

England 2008 - Halfway


As I make it to the halfway point of my stay in England, I look back to the fun I've had, and the rain I've got to see. XD I also look forward to seeing Wicked, London, and several other things. 

England, so far has been a blast! (Besides internet costing big buckos. -_- Not happy.) I've seen rain, shine, minsters, ruins, Dracula setting, and so much more! Today we even went hiking in the rain.... (Not very pleasant, due to the enormous amounts of stairs and the wet puddles.) But it's been fun all the same. I've seen people we met last time, and I've met new people this time. (There was a WAY cute missionary in the Chelmsford ward we went to on Sunday. ;D) hehe

Anyways, I'm missing home, with it's warm weather, and the nightly thunderstorms. But it's amazing the new experiences I've had to deal with. (For instance, jet lag and 8 hour time difference. lol) But I've learned a LOT about the history of different places. And decided if I wanted to move anywhere, it'd probably in near Manchester or Yorkshire. ;) Very beautiful. I've got a few pics I've taken, and I'll post 1 of my favorites so far. :D I hope you enjoy it! 

The pic was taken at the Manor House at Beamish, which is an open-air museum (meaning it's outside) of how people lived in 1825.) Just a little artistic thing I did. lol
