Cheerio

Welp I made it to Maidstone, UK.  My flight from BWI to London was ok.  I couldn't sleep but it was smooth.  The London airport was HUGE and crazy but not too bad.  I met up with my co-workers and then we drove to Maidstone.  It's an hr drive from Heathrow.  We are out in the country and it's beautiful!!  Driving on the other side of the road is pretty crazy but I'm getting use to see it.  We are in a nice Volvo station wagon.   The Hilton is nice.  No A/C but we do have washrooms in our room, which is great.  

Kimberly Clark is pretty nice.  We have a really nice room for training and there are Huggie's Ad's everywhere.  It's kind of funny.  I think they most disturbing part is the stuffed dog at the front door.


We went on an adventure last night for dinner.  We were looking for a veggie place but found an old little town instead.  It was really cool.  There was a really old pub that was 300 years old and a beautiful old church.  The church bells rang during dinner.  The beer was pumped from down in the cellar and the beer was yummy.  The beer isn't def as cold as USA but it's still good.  It's cellar temperature.  The homes were so small and the doors were tiny.   I got a picture of Tony in the door entry.  Pretty funny.

So far so good...  I'm having fun and it's been a learning experience.  The time change wasn't too bad.  Sunday I crashed from 5pm-8pm and then ate dinner then slept all night.  Yesterday I survived all day and was able to go to sleep at 11pm and again slept all night.  So, I think I'm finally adjusted.

Friday we got some bad news on the IF front.  We have an appt when I get back with the doctor.  The details don't sound good.  Please keep us in your thoughts the next couple of weeks.

Happy 3 years to hubby


Well we got married 3 years ago today on the hottest day of the YEAR!  Man it was hot and the bees were horrible but I didn't even know about the bees until after the fact otherwise I would have asked for my money back... it was too late after I found out about it.   We have a crazy couple of years but it's been great!  I love him more and more!!

We lost a lot of our friends after we got married.  It was kind of crazy and a sad time.  Neither of us understand why (would love to know what I/we did but was never told) but it happened and we moved on together.   It's part of life.  They were a part of our wedding but aren't part of our life anymore.  We might see them occasionally but we don't hang out anymore or even talk.   I guess you have memories to hold onto and take them with you!  I def know my job doesn't help us out much with friends but it's not hard to make plans.  I still see friends and we just plan.  It's really not too hard!

Welp I got told 2 weeks ago that I was going on London to give some training.  I'm super excited.  I have been wanting to go to Europe FOREVER!!!  I'm SUPER excited for this.  We are working at a client that is located in Kent for 2 weeks and then Carl's going to fly over and we are going to explore Europe.  I think we are going to do London for 2-3 days and then Paris for 2-3 days and then we aren't sure where else.  I know I will travel on the weekends before Carl comes over.  I'm trying to plot out spots.  I have friends from college living in London right now and a friend that live in Germany and Paris, so I might meet up with each when we explore.

Went Monday for u/s-b/w.  I actually ovulated this month.  My body is kind of crazy.  So we are waiting one more week and then I can either POAS or get a blood test otherwise my period will come and we see if we can fit in a IUI before we leave for UK.  It's all about timing.  So we are waiting til Sunday to see what comes back!

Well I have started trying to become a "Pro" photographer.  I have been talking lots of baby pictures.  It's been a lot of fun learning.  I bought PS8 and Lightroom in the past couple of months.   I LOVE lightroom and I don't know how I functioned before.  I have also been learning about lighting, props, settings, etc.  It's def been a learning experience.  I don't charge for the shoots or pictures, as I'm a beginner and don't think it's fair to charge.
