About Me
A day in the city
Waiting in the Marta station to go to DT Atlanta
Meeting baby Hannah!
Mike and I drove to Birmingham, AL to meet up with Heather, Sergio, & baby Hannah :)
Wifey time
Driving up to see Babyland and Helen, GA
Happy Birthday Mike!
The cupcakes I made for him on his birthday.
At the drive-in movies drinkin' hot cocoa.

Moo moos!
Saw random cows in a field, thought I'd take a pic.
Gamma Phi Girls in London!
Went down to London to visit Joey for the weekend. So much fun! :)
Picnic time!
just me being annoying and taking lots of pictures
Being tough like usual.
ROLL ON YOU BEARS
Awesome season opener vs. Maryland
Two very different cats
This is Millie, we call her "ninja cat" because she is veryyyy sneaky and likes to hunt mice.
And this is Fidget, he's much less sneaky than Millie and prefers to just lounge in the sunshine.
Doggie Friend
This is Eric, he's the dog we're watching here in Bedford.
He's a silly doggie, it took me about ten tries until I got just two semi-good pictures of him.
Day at the Beach
Heading down for some fun in the sun at Bournemouth Beach
Mike's sister Becca, Me, and her friend Susan

Of course London is calling. :)
Our version of Thanksgiving Dinner
Our British Thanksgiving...at a pub...yum?
grrr...
About to throw a snowball at Piglet.

there was this random pile of snow in the middle of Hyde Park, and we have no idea where it came from because it wasn't anywhere else...
oh hello!
trying on hats at the festival
Winter Wonderland
Drinking my favorite mulled wine and wearing my favorite reindeer earmuffs...aka, I'm really happy.

Mike and Me at the Chelsea Match
Here's another! :)
Mike and Me
Because I know that everyone already knows about my boyfriend, and I know that everyone is really super nosy and wants to see pictures. :)
Me and Ann!
Out at the Roxy nightclub off of Oxford Street.
Grrr....
I don't know why I was being so creepy.
Roomies!!!
We're gettin' much better at taking pictures together...we even are wearing matching waistbelts in this one!
In front of the Stamford Bridge Stadium
Trying to stay warm in the pouring rain after the match...rather unsuccessfully I might add.
We're number 1!!!
hahahhahaha, I'm just really silly.
True Chelsea fans...
...really!
YAY CHELSEA!
With our tickets at the game!
My room
The bed and desk on the left are mine. Yes I do notice that I have made my bed and my roomie has not. :)
The "kitchen"
This is our very mini-sized kitchen area. It's nice because we have a microwave, a fridge, a stovetop, and a sink.
Kitchen Supplies are provided!
Nido gave each of us the neccessary kitchen supplies: dishes, utensils, cooking utensils, pots and pans, can openers, dish towels, etc.
the powder room
Very teeny tiny bathroom. Complete with teeny tiny shower that leaks all over the bathroom floor everytime we shower and creates a swamp-like atmosphere. I think we're buying a mop soon.
VERY ANNOYING
Apparently everyone is having the same shower dilemma. Silly silly UK showers.
My closet
There is suprisingly a lot of closet space for both me and Bridget, which I like a lot. The only problem is I need to find somewhere to buy more hangers. Because right now I do not have enough to hang up everything that needs to be hung up.
View from my window
The lovely view from my second floor room: construction site, another apartment building, and far off behind the other apartment building I can see St. Pancras station, which is actually a very very pretty "Gothic" style (hahaa, that's for you Annica) train station.
My desk
Although I do not have any organizational devices at the moment, I do very much like my little desk area. I like my bulletin board and my desk chair is pretty comfortable.
I miss you all!!!
I need to buy more thumbtacks to put up more pics, but one of the very first things I did after unpacking was put up pictures of my loves from home. :D
Russell Square
Here is a picture of part of my daily walk to class at the ACCENT center on Great Russell Street. It's a VERY pretty little park. SO green and totally covered in trees. Beautiful.
at a local pub

I was really excited to take this picture, but then was really embarrassed when I realized there was still someone sitting in the car...OOPS! ;)
