First couple of days in England!!

It is blurry, but it is me, saying goodbye as I leave on the British Airway! See my screen in front of me, I to watch unlimited movies, which made it hard to sleep!!Here are the backward cars, I keep thinking Marci should drive. I keep asking Mark if he is going to deliver mail...hahah, so strange to drive on the left side of the road!!
Here is Marci and Mark's home! Their's is the middle red door!!


Here is the famous British Fish and Chips! Wow Chips are actually french fries! :)
(I was not the one eating Fish, for those that know I hate fish).

This is Stone Henge! Near Amesbury!

This is Bath!

Ancient baths used by the romans! Awesome Sauna, I could have worked here!

Tickets to Wicked for Tuesday night!!!

Here is Mark and Marci buying our tickets, with McDonalds in the background.

London Tower!

London Tower Bridge, soo pretty!!

Gift Shop at London Tower!!

Beyond Hair Salon

After working 3 years at Beyond Hair, I have decided it is time to quit!

It was a hard decision to make!

I will miss the girls, the room and my clients!

I have cleaned my stuff out of the room and it no longer seems the same! :(

I am going on a TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am headed to England!!!! February 17th to the 25th!

I am soo excited, I am flying with my Aunt Sonya and we are going to visit her daughter

Marci and her awesome British husband Mark!!

I love traveling! And what better than to go visit family!

It will be great to see how life is for Marci in England!

I will post my actual pictures when I get back!

No Recipe, Secret's in the Sauce! JK

Sooo, I don't have a recipe for the Pelmeni, I may need to have a class on making them!! Or do a video! We have made them a second time since these photo's, and I am ready to make the 3rd batch!!!

Pelmeni - Homemade Ravioli's

Igor and I have a lot of fun making these scrumptious russian Ravioli's called Pelmeni!

Don't they look YUM?

They taste even better than they look!!

My Brother and I

Brother and Sister!!

My first LARGE afghan

So this is the first afghan, I learned how to crochet on!! Actually almost looks more like a rug. Stitches started out small and tight and ended larger and looser!! But it sure is comfy and warm!!

I am soo happy to have it done! It took me a year and half to finish it last monday!

O Christmas Tree!!

So Here is my Beautiful Christmas tree!! I was seriously thinking of not doing a tree, or atleast getting a small one! But when Igor and I went out, he talked me into getting a real tree, we looked at small trees. When we laid eyes on this one it practically reached out and grabbed us both! It is beautiful, Huge and perfect! Probably the biggest tree I have ever gotten!

Jayme and her son Carson came over and helped me decorate the tree! She did a fabulous job with it! I don't think I even want to leave my tree to go to work at all! I may just stay at home loving my tree!!

Ok, so I am soo behind, let me get Caught UP!!

Here is our Thanksgiving Dinner with mom and dad! I think I must have been sleeping! Dinner was wonderful! We deep fried our Turkey!

For those who love to play Wii, so do we!! My dad came to play with us! Check out his Mii and how close we have it to his actual looks!! :)

This is the Smartest 2 year old that I know!!!

His name is Miles, he is my cousin Stacey's first child!

We went to visit Stacey and her parents, Steve and Sonya the day after Stacey's Birthday on November 23rd.

If you get a book full of Flags, country's, or states, Miles can name most of them!! So hard to imagine a 2 year old remembering all the country's! He also has the alphabet memorized in the correct order! Miles is amazing! He has great powerful arms, that I think some day he could use for massage!!

Happy Birthday Donna!

I love Donna! She is a friend you want to keep forever! She has such a big heart, she will do anything for her friends, she will always be there for a friend! Donna is soo much fun, she has a huge sense of humor to make anyone laugh for hours, I could be happy for life if she could always be by my side!

We surprised Donna with a bunch of her old friends, and instead of regular birthday gifts, we get her baby gifts for her baby that is due in February! It looks like it will be a boy, but that is not a 100% for sure, til the baby is born!

Friends From the Past

Here we are in 1995 just before I left for Uzbekistan, Nichole at the top, LaRaine on the left, Karina on the right, Donna front left, then Jim, Jara and Valori.All of us except Nichole at Donna's Surprise Birthday party, 13 years later! Has it really been that long? I think all of us agree we still feel the same age! Although the 11 kids at the party may be proof that we aren't still teenagers!
