Congratulations Felicia and Jason!!
Beautiful Wow. What a beautiful hike. I had to laugh when you talked about the breakfast. Heinz beans and toast. Maybe even add a little marmite for that extra zing. I love reading your postings!! Miss you.
Beautiful England seems to be absolutely charming...I just sigh when I look at all your beautiful pictures and read your descriptions of the people and yummy food. That house really does look like a it should have hobbit as a resident. LOL!
:P Hey! That case full of clothes! THAT looks exactly like my daughter's bedroom... :( Gotta love er' !
I'm in the office being rebellious and NOT working on the Boeing Grant because I miss you Felicia. Everett's playing some sort of scrabble game on-line. He says "Hi Felicia"
Loverly day off! Now that looks good! Wish I could join you! Glad to hear you are having fun together at last. My next day off comes next week - I am heading to Chelan for a few days of vegitating. Thought you might like to hear that Gail is back, 2600 miles of treking later. Snow kept her 70 miles from finishing at the border, but she will finish as soon as the wether clears. Other than that, some 'ol here - We just miss you lots and ove the blog.
Yeah I am glad to hear you two are fine and enjoying the scenery. I love the pictures. And the brief history lecture on brew. So much I did not know. Drink a pint for me. Later you two....
Hi- hope all is going well. It looks like from your pictures you guys are having a great time!! How is your new job going?? I so miss you at work,it is just not the same. Bill and I went to a play and out to dinner down in Seattle this weekend. We had a dinner at this place on lake Union. It called Rock Salt. the play was at seattle Center. It was my birthday gift from Bill. The play we saw was To Kill a Mcking bird. It was a great time. Derrick took my car to the casino and some one smashed into my door so I am waiting to hear how this person is going to pay for it. Itt is very interesting how the tribal police work. Anyway I'm still here being jealous of you being there- hope to hear fromyou soon- Jennifer
Seattle When you go on the Wiskey tour, the Seattle office would like some samples sent back please.
Great to know you to are settling in. Keep up the blog!
yum. I would love a pint, thanks! ;o)
I am so happy to hear both of you have made it across the pond safe and soundly. And I really like that one of the first things you did together was go take a tour of a brewery. Thank you for the beer facts, and the pics as always.
And yes, most brilliant pours for the both of you. Cheers!
Everett
Brilliant Pour! Hi you two! Glad to see you are enjoying yourselves on a day off. I've been waiting to see what you've been up to lately. I thought I would share that I'm in Sun Valley right now, although its not "time off". I'm here for a conference that is very informative and we haven't had much down time yet. I'm thinking about going for a walk shortly, since its no longer snowing. It snowed for most of the morning, which was lovely. I mean it when I say lovely! It was fun opening up the curtains this morning to snow covered trees and grass and luckily I brought appropriate outer-wear. Thanks for sharing what you're up to and talk to you soon.
Love,
Heather
Insight I am really enjoying everyone's comments! It is funny how we do things ritualistically, or have symbols to remind us of the those hard times--which is exactly where many of those artifiacts came from in the museum. The human spirit just amazes me.
Please keep writing.....and I miss you guys, too!
Felicia
My symbol When I spent 6 months in Indiana (between Sean and Blaine) it was probibly the most depressing time of my life. I was literally alone in the world with no hope to hold onto. I had given up on everything and was sinking further and further into this dark place. At some point, I realized I needed to return to Phoenix. I had fought doing so out of pride I guess. But I knew I would never feel alive again until I went back. So in recognition of my choice to leave, my choice to live, I had the ankh tattooed onto my ankle. The Ankh is the Egyptian symbol for life. I carry it with me to remind myself that and no matter what life has in store for me...I choose to live.
Well.... My family is Catholic. And I grew up Catholic even though I don't practice it much now like I did when I lived back home. But still some things stick. One thing I do everyday, when I pull out of my drive way ...me persino... when you do the whole cross thing. I don't know how to say it in English but that's we were taught growing up. So that's what I do. I don't eat seafood, so the fish doesn't really YEAH me, but the chips looked yummy. Have fun at your new job and I hope all is well. Miss you. Kari
my symbol of protection... I can't think of a specific security blanket I've ever had. But I've always been fond of hugs as a form of comfort and reassurance. To me that's a symbol of protection for not just life in general, but my friendships as well.
Yum, fish and chips in London! Did they offer to put mayonnaise on your chips? I hear they like that.
As always, absolutely amazing photos. Te echamos de menos todos nosotros aqui. Hasta pronto!
Everett
Hmmmmmm I don't think time has stood still for me yet. Time flew really fast the day I got married. It was like the ceremony was over in the blink of an eye. When the day comes that time stops...I will let you know. Love the pictures.
Time standing still Thanks for sharing! I could really see how that would feel--waiting and waiting and then, you're in action again in the net moment!
moment in time I know! I was trying to think of something profound to say, and as moving as those people who put their moments up, but I just couldn't--however, there was the first time Jason said I love you. Really, for me, it has been being so absorbed in whatever I am doing that it felt like time stopped--so the aforementioned event, but also times watching Joel, having a good conversation, being in a museum or working and getting completely lost in those moments--and then coming out of them, just ever so slightly changed. I have those all the time!
(none) When did time stand still for me... I wish I could say. But I am not entirely convinced it quite has yet. But I am confident that, one day, there'll be a moment where nothing else will matter to me - not even time. It's fun to imagine what that moment could be, but I look forward just to experiencing it. And then I can travel to London and write about it on a public wall.
I absolutely love your writing! I am still happily jealous of all your travelings. I am especially intrigued by this museum of time. I can only imagine what the people watching is like over there. Even if they are tourists.
And, as always, amazing photos! I look forward to more. I'll make sure to keep the staff updated.
Everett
Time Standing Still I would have to say that time stood still at the birth of each of my kids. You leave your home with your life as it is, you head to the hospital where you go through this tremendous physical and emotional event, and then there you are with this new person in your arms, life changed forever. You sit there in the hospial in limbo waiting to get the ok to take your baby home and begin a whole new life. It is very much like time standing still. Well that's all I got (I haven't had my coffee yet so I'm not up to my game in the blogging department).
Oh and btw - my guess as to why transportation stopped...they were doing a tribute memorial for the 10th annivrsary of the death of Princess Diana. Maybe you were in the vacinity of that event;0)
Diviertate! Felicia -
Have a wonderful and safe trip tomorrow! Remember, do have fun. I look forward to reading about your wonderful adventures. Cuidate!
