I know, I know... it's been forever...

Hello world!!! Just in case you were beginning to worry... I am still alive and doing well!

My dear, beloved blog followers, you will have to find it in your hearts to forgive me. I'm a horrible blogger and will repent and try to do better! Let me give you a brief update with some pics and I will go back to the more frequent and much shorter posts... I'll start with the most recent news.

HALLOWEEN!

Well, Halloween is not as big of a holiday over here in the UK as it is in the states, but my flatmates and I did decide to venture out and experience our first uni BOP. Two words: never again!!! As my flatmate Kat said, it was like a "junior high dance gone techno." Bad, bad, bad... Sad really, cuz we sure looked cute as two can-can girls and a gypsy!

Getting ready for the BOP...

Pretending to have fun at the BOP... haha

BLAST FROM THE PAST

I got to meet up with one of my old friends from Bountiful, UT the other day - Bryan Larsen. He and his wife moved to Germany, and his work brings him to London often. It was great seeing a familiar face, catching up, and eating yummy Italian food in Covent Garden.

We had a lot of fun walking all over central London. Here we are by the Eros fountain.

RICHMOND

Met up with girls I met at church, Jade and Kendall to have the Richmond tour and experience. It was a cold day, but was worth going out for the shopping, chocolate shop, seeing the apartment where "Finding Neverland" was filmed, walking through book shops, free hot chocolate, and visiting the oldest bridge on the Thames, Richmond Bridge. Truly a picturesque place!

Richmond Bridge!

Me freeeezing walking along the Thames!

ROXY

One of the funnest nights in central with the flatmates at Roxy Bar. Meghan knew the owner from when she lived in London before. We were treated like VIPs with free unlimited drinks and a personal tour of London on the way back to Roehampton.

STILL WAITING

Yes, everyone it's true. Not much has changed. The majority of my life still consists of waiting for the bus. However, I have learned to make the process a little more exciting. Rather than just sit there hot and bothered (actually very cold and bothered) like this:

I have found something to do that helps pass the time:

What can I say... even if it's a ridiculous hour in the morning, it's freezing cold, and people are watching probably thinking I'm crazy... I love to dance!
