Hi Mom!

This blog post is to welcome you home!

Well, welcome back to your Alaska home, that is…you have two homes now Mom, Alaska AND England, I hope to soon welcome you back to your home here in England, because you are always wanted here.

We love you Mom! ♥

Here is a big upside down Hug!

I read a few weeks ago about someone who had went to take a picture – and discovered that their lens was smashed!  Talk about a heart attack!  Thankfully, upon further investigation, they realized it was the UV filter instead.  They were posting to tell everyone to invest in the silly $10 thing already!  I smiled, because just a few months prior, I had bought a set myself.

Fast forward to Valentines Day.  Yesterday.  Walking down the big hill to spend the day with my sister, mom and nephew – I tried to take the lens cover off, only to find it wouldn’t budge.  A little tugging, a lot of gasping and a few short breaths and this was found:

This is the kind of thing you read about, and never expect it to happen to you.  A smashed filter, is so much better than a smashed lens!  Go buy the filter!  Save a lens.  And maybe save yourself a heart attack in the process!

Ive been trying to get back into the picture taking thing here, but its been a bit hard 🙂  This is a crummy picture, it looked much cooler in person – all the stairs…”Looking inside”

“Looking in” a mirror (With my sister)

And of course, “Looking in” little Judahs face….and a bonus with the crazy man hair and looks!

We landed in England yesterday.

Hardly any troubles along the way.  Which surprised me.

I have the cutest nephew ever.  And no.  Im not bias.  Its just the truth.

When I left Alaska to come here, I was TOLD the weather was Springy.  So I packed shorts.  And a light sweater.  No coat or heavy sweaters.  On the plane from LA here they said the weather in England was “Absolutely Freezing.”  I laughed.  And then we got here.  And it was.  Absolutely freezing.  Mainly because I had no coat.  And because I didnt bring a coat, of course its supposed to snow here Sunday.  Figures.

It seems weird.  Being here.  With the whole family.  And Judah.  Nicely weird, and just right.  Sitting in a room, on a couch, with my sister – who has a laptop on her lap.  Googling for pancake recipes.  And mom.  Whos in the chair across from us.  With little Judah.  JD.  Or, Judah Bug.

And for now, thats all thats going on here.  Just being.  In England.  With the fam.
