28 July 2011- Day 359

Thursday

A sunny day in London town. I met up with Cherie and saw two shows. We saw 'Anne Boleyn' at the Globe during the matinee performance.



Then at night we went and saw Much Ado featuring Catherine Tate and David Tennet. They are hilarious, and wonderful on stage. After the performance we went to the stage exit to see the stars come out. Sadly I couldn't get close enough for an autograph for a real photo.




Wonderful day, but I was knackered when I got home.

Today I decided to take a walk around the gardens and visit Bugsy.



How can you not love this face?!?!?!?



And I wanted to catch me in the garden, all I got was my Wellies.

Today I decided to make some peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies!



They weren't amazing, but they were edible! I have to practice cooking again.

Sunday

Tonight had a beautiful sunset, and I had forgotten to take any pictures today as I taught youth Sunday school, and then spoke in Sacrament. It was a bit of a busy day!

Saturday

Worst way ever to wake up! A GIANT spider wishing you good morning!



I screamed like a Banshee while smashing it with my shoe about 12 times. (And no that image is not exaggerated at all.)

Friday

Research research research! My life seems to be about books, articles, and studies! I think my brain may explode soon!

21 July 2011- Day 352

Thursday

Today I was researching at home when a very upset Emma and Libby were knocking on my door. Tilly and Cocoa were missing. They were let out a while ago and hadn't come home yet. They said they had checked everywhere, but couldn't find them. So they were going to get in the car and search around. I decided to put my wellies on and investigate in the garden.



When I got down to where Bugsy normally is I saw Cocoa and Tilly appear at my side. I don't know where they were exactly, but I'm glad they were lost. Those cheeky pups.

Today I went up on campus to get some studying and research done. Luckily for me it was a beautiful day!



PS... I am so done with being a student!

19 July 2011- Day 350

Tuesday

Annie left in the morning, and I cried like a baby. So then I decided to keep myself busy so I did a deep clean of the upstairs and decided to take all my stuff downstairs. I also set up the TV and DVD player in the main room. I think I will slowly become the laziest person ever!



I ended the day watching a few episodes of the second series of Spooks.

Monday

Today Cherie, Patrice and I went into London to explore. On the train ride there Patrice decided to tryout Sudoku and finished a puzzle on her own. She was really excited... it almost brought her to tears. =)



We brought all of Cherie's stuff to her flat for the next month, and then we explored the city and got to act like toursits. Since we were low on time we pointed out lots of sights, but didn't actually see them up close.




Then we went to see '39 Steps' which is hilarious and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to laugh.

Great day!

17 July 2011- Day 348

Sunday

Today Patrice, Cherie, and I went to the Canterbury Cathedral, and got to look about. It really is a beautiful building. And when the choirs are singing it is truly magical.

Although I still think its weird that we walk right over peoples tombs. Although I guess we are doing the same thing in graveyards.




Oh and I walked to a side of the cathedral I had not been to yet, and found these lovely gardens. They were gorgeous!

July 16th

16 July 2011- Day 347

Saturday

Today we decided to adventure around Chilham and took a rainy walk around the town and some of nature.




Then of course we had to be tourists and play in the phone booth.




It was a soggy great day!

I love these silly people!

Thursday

We decided to adventure to Dover Castle, and for all those who were wondering it IS still standing.

There were so many great pictures, that I couldn't choose just one. So here is a smattering of the day.

Wednesday

Today was the day Cherie arrived, and to keep her awake we explored a bit around Canterbury. Craziness ensued.




Cherie found sexy shoes! The sheos said so.

July 12th

Tuesday

Today I was waiting to see when Patrice would arrive, and traveled too and from the train station three times. On the way there the first time I saw a really cute hedgehog.



Only on the second journey did I wonder why he was in the same spot. And then I found out he was dead. It made me sad. Now I wish someone would bury him, his body shouldn't have to remain there for all to pass by and see.

Monday

This is what Kathleen chose to do on her last morning in England. She cleaned the oven, and looked like a Highlander Aunt Jamima.



Man do I love this lady! I will miss you my Kathleeny. Hopefully I see you soon... probably as soon as I fly across the pond.

Me and my photogenic girl Esther. I swear this girl loves hamming it up for the camera! She is awesome, and I hope I can be just like her when I grow up!

Saturday

I come home from my trip and found this! Kathleen and Jesse were busy with packing up and cleaning. It made me sad, and made me realize that our adventures together were coming to a close... for now. Sad day.

Wednesday

We toured the sites of the BBC mini-series 'North & South'. They filmed a lot in Edinburgh and we found the locations. We also went to Rosslyn chapel...which was gorgeous. Stacey and Patrice fell in love with the chapel.




7 July 2011- Day 338

Thursday

Today was another fantastic day! We toured around Edinburgh and then my friend Emma drove us to the Stirling Castle and after that we went on a walk around the reservoir by her home in Currie. It was such an amazing day, exhausting, but wonderful.




8 July 2011- Day 339

Friday

Today we went on a MacBackpackers day tour from Edinburgh up to Loch Ness and back. It was so much fun. I would recommend this tour to almost anyone. I want to take one of their longer tours next.



We were really blessed with great weather and wonderful sights. Also... having a cute tour guide was a bonus!

July 2-5

2 July 2011- Day 333

Saturday

I cannot remember the how or whys of these faces, but for some reason Jesse, Kathleen, and Annie were all moving there cheeks to make this gross noise, so I decided to take a picture of them doing it, rather than trying it myself.



3 July 2011- Day 334

Sunday

Today we watched the BBC 2006 'Jane Eyre' and LOVED it. Then we decided to have a sunset walk. I got some fun pictures.



4 July 2011- Day 335

Monday

Gotta love American holidays in England! Yay for freedom and independence.



Annie made us a flag cake that was soooo yummy. And Naomi bought us tea that we should dump in honor of the Boston tea party. I think that was her way of getting into the celebrations

5 July 2011- Day 336

Tuesday

Guess who I got to see today! I flew into Edinburgh to see Patrice, and I am ready for the adventures to begin!



This is Patrice concentrating to show me her sexy collarbones.

LONDON!!!

We went to the Churchill War Room Museum


Then we went to the Tower Bridge.


And then we found the best Italian Restaurant, and parted ways for our theatre shows. The Thorsons went to see Lion King, and I went to see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead... and it was WONDERFUL!!!
