Plane Ride: 14 hours of Delight

Well, not only did the de-icing process make both my flights late, but it was freezing cold! I couldn't feel my toes ten minutes out of SLC.
New York was cool. I saw Long Island as we were landing and it was all lit up and the beaches were white. Pretty awesome. Plus there were tons of lighted boats (probably coast guard) on the sea shore.
4 hours in the JFK airport can be summed up as: dirty, awkward, cold. The end.
The flight to London was SO long. I think 6 or 7 and 1/2 hours. I felt really bad for the guy next to me. He was really really tall with super long legs and the lady in front of him refused to put her seat up. seriously! The flight attendants came around before take off and asked everyone to put their seats up. She put it up then five seconds later down again. They had to come ask her again. Needless to say her chair was down the whole way there and poor tall guy was squished.
One thing I learned from my flight: James Bond movies are very fake! You know how he's always stepping out of a crashing plane and holding on to the side of the wing or something for dear life in one of his nice Tux/suits? I don't think that would be too comfortable because the airplane screen here said it was -60 degrees Fahrenheit outside. -60 in a suit? James Bond you are crazy!
Cheerio!

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 sounds really silly but it's true. Yo

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!
