Sorry I've been M.I.A...

Hey guys,

Sorry about the extreme lack of updating. In the last three weeks: my Cousin Beth and Aunt Janie came to Scotland on a surprise visit that I had NO IDEA ABOUT and I completely freaked and they whisked me away to LONDON for four days; two of my final essays came due (10 page analytical papers, blegh); and my dear Andy came to visit for a week. It's been more than a little nuts.

So here ya go, as a reward for your patience, you get a bajillion picture update. It'll have to tide you over until after my Mom and Grandmother visit next week so I can post pictures from the DUBLIN that is happening while they are here. Gah, I'm so excited. 

Enjoy the pictures.

Love and miss all of you!

Sightseeing!

Okay, here we go: Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Big Ben and Parliament, the Globe Theatre, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Waterloo!, and Trafalgar Square. (p.s., climbing that Lion was easy, getting down was NOT!)

Madame Toussauds!

Top to Bottom: Elvis for Grammie, Clooney, Johnny Depp looking very unhappy, Yes, that is Patrick Stewart and yes, I immediately thought of Timothy, Audrey for Laney, and finally, I didn't get to see a real palace guard, so I made faces at the wax one... 

Hyde Park

Top to Bottom: Hyde Park Fountain, the Park, JOHN DEERE!, Me and Aunt Janie, Me and Beth, the Fountain, Peter Pan Statue, and the Princess Diana Fountain.

PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES!

Top to Bottom: Springtime in Edinburgh!, This is self-explanatory and makes me giddy, Our scary, scary hotel with it's astroturf bushes... and finally, Our gorgeous new hotel that was amazing!

WE ARE SCOTLAND!

Okay, I'm finally updating again. Feel loved! So last weekend we decided, at the very last moment, to go to one of the RBS 6 Nations Rugby Matches being held in Edinburgh. It was the Scotland National Team v. the Italian National Team and oh my goodness I am so a rugby convert! It was a blast! I even knew one of the random songs the crowd broke out in through the match. Also, there are no fans like rugby fans. There were some crazily dressed people, this poor guy being the best BY FAR! Although this guy was pretty awesome too! There will be actual pictures of the match in the next few days, I'm waiting for my flatmate to post hers because my camera died... Oops? Guess I should try to charge that more often... Other than that, I'm pretty much cramming in my semester essays, two of which I'm trying to finish by the 14th. Wish me luck?
