Sorry about the Smiths lyrics....Some of you will appreciate it.
We went down to London for the weekend with our friends Ruth and Steve. It was nice to be with others like us who dont mind not planning things and like just roaming the city and see where we end up. after we checked into the hotel we got ourselves passes on the London underground that allow us to take any train or bus around the city. We found one of the classic double decker buses from thr 1930's and played spot the starbucks while we drove around to see the sights. The bus took us to the Tower of London where the crown jewels are kept and to the Tower Bridge. after some shops where stace found a interesting suit or armor I'll have to put in the next set of pics, we went to china town and had an awesome dinner! and after we went to the british museum. most of it was closed but it looks really cool at night and we all decided to come back the next day to see more. The terracotta army was on display and we wanted to come back and try to get tickets to it. After going to Picadilly Circus and a few other places we went back for drinks at the hotel.
I'll have to put the next day in another post since I have more pics to put up.

carry on....

stace, playing the piano.
the video might not work, somebody let me know... Sorry I havent kept up the blog too much lately but I still havent been feeling too great. I dont go in to the docs for a few more weeks and even then I think I may have to stay on this stupid low fat diet for awhile. Its not too bad but mostly I miss the steaks. I still eat some foods with fat but nothing fried and no red meat. we decided not to go to spain since it would be better to go for longer and maybe just take the boys, so we are ditching them to go to london for the weekend. even though its our 11th anniversary, we are going with our friends Ruth and Steve. Its really nice to have them close by and thier 2 girls come and play with the boys all the time. We are getting on with life and really getting settled in. My job is going well and stace is doing good teaching the boys at home for now. we may put Mason in school but will probably wait for him to be going into a higher school. We miss all of you. I feel bad about not getting to call much of anyone and I know I'll hear about it soon enough, mostly from Jon (yon) and Cassandra. Its funny how you go to a new place and compare people you meet to the ones that your used to being around.I have a couple of people that walk by in the hall and smack me in the head like Celest used to do in Palm Bay! and I seem to meet at least one Dawn Peck in every hall we go to but of course none are as good as the original! If anyone in Maryland can...could you give this site to Jeff norfolk and Ki'air Queen so we could keep in touch? I lost most of our email address's. also if someone in palm bay could forward to Spencer and Andrea Thanks. I will try to put up some good pictures again soon, There has been alot going on and with being ill its been hard. I may even have some pics of OUR house soon as well. we have been looking around and would like to get out into our own place soon but as our credit history doesnt carry over from the US, we have to start from scratch. We may end up renting for awhile until we can get something going and I have seen alot of nice places. BTW- stace still plays pretty well for not having sat at a piano for about 5 or 6 years not to mention this one is out of tune, and Devon seems to have to "help out" every time she tries to play. Anyone want to adopt a little boy??!?
