Home Sweet Britian!

I thought I'd post some pictures of the things
that make this place home (temporarily). For
one, there is the BYU London centre.It is
beautiful and amazing and the Sheullers (the
couple who live here and run it) are so incredibly
nice and funny. Now, that staircase is a lot
bigger than it looks. This photo is from the top
floor looking down. I'm on the 4th floor and
get to climb around 80 stairs (we counted) to
my bedroom, so you can guess how I feel when
I get downstairs ready to leave and realize I
forgot my wallet: Kill me now! But I will be in
shape when I come home!

Also I put up some pictures of the Tube (that's the underground. Like the subway but not, there is a separate subway) which is my new favorite form of transportation. I love driving but this is SO much better! It's fun, fast and easy! It's really funny: In London (and most of England I assume) you don't socialize on the tube. You don't make eye contact, you don't talk, you sit quietly in your seat and stare at...well I'm still trying to figure out what they stare at so intently. I stare at the map but that's becoming less needed. But seriously, you DO NOT look at people! It's like smoking at BYU. You just don't do it and everybody knows it! So weird. The end.

    the london center is so beautiful!

    and the tube seems to have the same philosophy as subways in new york- don't try to associate with people! or maybe it's like that in new york for self-protection.... i don't know.

How I Met My Mother

     In order for you to fully understand my story I need to start 26 years ago in Tacoma, Washington. Born into the world was a little brown starfish with more hair than cousin It. She was cute. She was 4 pounds. She was me.      I won't go in to too much detail in order to respect my mother's privacy, but she wasn't at a place in her life where she could take care of me so I went into foster care. My birth mother came to a couple visits to see me, but shortly after, she disappeared. Two years later this awesome couple adopted me and a family was born. My parents were open with me about my adoption from Day 1. I never knew anything about my birth mother except what I could find on my birth certificate: name, birth date, etc.      Despite being happy, there was always a missing piece. I just wanted to KNOW. I wanted to know where I came from. I wanted to know what happened. I wanted to meet the person whose toes I inherited! That...

Termites and Midnights and Night Lights

Hi! It has been too long. I've been...well I could say busy but I'd be lying. Actually I've been lazy and boring and that means watching lots of episodes of F R I E N D S , eating mac and cheese for breakfast, and taking naps in the sun . No one wants to hear about that. But I did do some fun things =) 1) B I O L O G Y I decided to take Biology this summer. Now, for those who don't know, Math and Science are the names of those two little demons in Disney's Hercules movie...at least in my mind. So Biology is my LAST general core class at BYU. Most people take it their 1st semester of college and I'm taking it my senior year. I've been dreading it. Well, so far it has been surprisingly enjoyable. We read a book called Voo doo Sci ence (I know, I know) and it was really cool. Now we are reading a book about decisions and it has guys blowing up missiles and fire figh ters in action. It rocks! Don't worry, it gets better. Today we played with TERMITES ...

Just another day in Paradise...

So, a couple of us wanted to go to The National Gallery and Trafalgar Square but we took one wrong turn and ended up in a sketchy part of town. There was graffiti everywhere and it was interesting. We ended up walking past an airport and eating in a train station. Haha. It was way fun, let me tell you. The next photo and story is Cambridge! We went there on Wednesday. The picture is of Verulamium a little place we stopped where they had a cool Roman mosaic and some old things like ancient jewelry and such. So fun! That's Elizabeth, Kate and me in the picture. Cambridge didn't excite me much so there are no pictures of it. Plus, my camera battery died. But we did go to an Evensong there and it was so amazing! The last picture is THE BYU LONDON CENTRE!!! Beautiful, right? I kknow! I feel so blessed to live in this lovely place. It's right aroound the corner from Notting Hill too! ever hear dof Portobello road? It's a walk and a skip away!
