It’s hard to believe, but Chad & I have been married nine years today. Neither one of us would have been able to predict what has happened in the last nine years. Chad was going to be a farmer, & I his farmin’ wife. He had 3 years of University to finish [...]

Our Last Day in England
Posted in England, Travel, dining, vacation on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We took it a bit easy today. It was a bank holiday, so b/w the less frequent buses, & most places being closed, it was a bit forced upon us to take it easy, which was probably good since we’ll be on the aeroplane most of the day tomorrow. This morning began [...]
"Going a Church aday…Yay!"

This is what Asher says every time we tell him that we’re going to go to church. He loves going. I think perhaps it’s more for the toys & the kids than anything else, but it’s a good start. We decided to go to All Souls this morning since Chad never had [...]
A Day at the Market

Today we decided to walk through Walthamstow Market to see if Chad could find a suitable coat. Of course our first stop was Costa Coffee to fuel up for the morning of shopping, but we had to walk right by a park, so after we had purchased our drinks we let Asher go play [...]

Today we went into London to do some shopping. Chad had some Christmas money that has been burning a hole in his pocket. He wasn’t really sure of what he wanted (other than a haircut), so in & out of shops we went. We had the stroller, so it wasn’t too [...]
Laundry in London

That’s right folks, today I spent doing the exciting task of washing our clothes. Yes, apparently they do that in England too, although their methods are a bit different from ours. To start, you need to take the 2 loads you have & split them again into 3 or possibly 4 b/c the [...]
Back in England

Today we flew back from Dublin to London. Pretty much that’s what we did all day. We stayed at a B&B in Portmarnock near Dublin last night. The owners were kind of eccentric & weird, not in a cute way, it was a little creepy actually, but they did serve us a [...]
Mullingar by Car

Tonight we are at a very nice B&B in Mullingar. We’re headed back to Dublin as we fly out on Wed & we thought we’d still like to see the Guinness Factory so we can compare it to the Heinekin factory! I say it’s a nice B&B b/c they gave me a nice [...]
