Today we all went to have tea (come on, it's England! you
have to have tea!) at The orangery (don't worry it was peppermint tea), a cute little place right
next to Kensington Palace. Afterward a couple of us
decided to go take pictures of the peter pan statue. It
took forever to find! We walked all around the park
and finally found it after walking in a huge circle.

The cutest little British man came to talk to us in the park.
We were looking at a tree with a latin name(I think) and
the last part of the name was superbum. We had to laugh.
The cute little old chap comes up and says to his wife,
"Look, these girls are looking at a tree." We giggle and
he starts going on about how to speak English the RIGHT
way (with a british accent) and tries teaching us how to say
"study" correctly. It wasn't stud-e it's "stood-a." It was so
funny. He told us places we had to visit too and asked us
about America. He told us what he thought of Bush and
that "maybe this new fellow will do good. A breath of fresh
air." He was the funniest old man. His wife was waving for
him to hurry up and so he walked with us to the Tube.

Great story, I know. I keep you all on the edge of your seats.
Well...That's all. Toodles!

    Oh my gosh! Are you doing EVERYTHING I did in London 13 years ago? Reading about your adventures and looking at your pictures have been a trip down Memory Lane for me...I see the pics and you and your friends and see me and my friends in the same places and poses. Crazy...I expect a pic on the other side of the river, looking towards Big Ben

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!
