Confirmation!

You are looking at the house we will be staying in during our visit to Bath in September. We just called and got confirmation that we are booked. It's perfectly situated for our visit to the Jane Austen Festival.

Promenade follows the Circus and the Royal Crescent and this is where we will be staying:

This circle of buildings is the Circus and the crescent shaped buildings at the end is the Royal crescent (shocking I know:-) and the arrow is the Brock House.

I'm so excited. It's becoming very real now. The website for this B&B is worth looking at just for the pictures of Bath.

An Overview (Literally)

I love flying as I've already said, but one thing I really enjoy about flying is looking out the window and seeing this:

There is just something about looking down on clouds that is thrilling.

Our first view of Nevada:

There was something about the wild desert beauty that made me want to become a photographer. I mean, when you can take pictures like this with just a point-and-shoot, can you imagine the possibilities with Nikon D40 (*wink* at Shannon):

All that beauty of God's creation. And those are just from the first day! Truly awesome.

Apologies

I must say that I'm sorry. I said that I would post pictures from the trip and I haven't yet. True, not all of them are uploaded, but some are. My explanation, not excuse, is that getting a classroom ready for 4 year olds isn't really all that easy or un-time-consuming.

The classroom is now ready (which is good since the children come for orientation tomorrow) and I now need to work on my lesson plans. I will try to post when I can, but I forsee a very busy year ahead.

*goes to find photobucket to see about putting up some pictures. ;-)*

Seattle

I haven't had a chance to upload all the pictures from the trip, but I chose one of my favorites to post here.

My wonderful mother took this picture of us on our way back from Seattle. I loved this city and would love to go back one day.

Well, that's all for now. I'll post some more later.

Home Sweet Home

After a wonderful, 5,205 mile, three week vacation, we're finally home. The finally refers more to the fact that our plane left 1:00 AM and we didn't get a hotel yesterday. We had an 8 hour wait at the airport (but the Starbucks was really good :-) and 5 hours of flying. But we're home! It's so good to be back and see my own room and pillow!

I can't wait to share with you all the highlights of the trip, and my souveniers (I have mentioned that I buy old books as souvenirs, right:-). Right now, I'm going to go to bed.

Where in the World is Tiffany?

We are now located in Cody, Wyoming. We spent all day (unintentionally, there's a fire and it closed the road we were going to take out, causing us about 3-4 hours extra to get to the exit;-/) in Yellowstone, (I know, there are worse places to be stranded:-). I got a very nice, red sunburn while we watched Old Faithful. We were also able to see the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, the falls, and many other breathtaking scenes of God's creation. I will definitely be posting pictures.

We are heading to see my best friend and her new baby today! I'm so excited! And the drive isn't too long and we should be there in time to see them perform at a dinner.

It is time for departure. I'll try to check back in again before we get back.

An Announcement

Our family is going away on vacation this coming Tuesday. We're visiting the West, and I mean all of the West. We're flying to Las Vegas, then driving to California, going to San Fransisco, driving up the coast, going into Washington over to Yellowstone, then on to Mount Rushmore, the down to Colorado (where we'll be going to Denver Fabrics :-), down to The Grand Canyon and back to Las Vegas and then flying home.

We are accomplishing this in three weeks (please pray for my dad, that's 4000 miles of driving for him). So I won't be able to post during that time.

But I thought I might take advantage of the new scheduled blogging and plan some of my favorite quotes from books to pop up while I'm gone. I'll at least try and see if it works.

So, if you don't hear from me again, you'll know it didn't work. Otherwise, My favorite quotes, comin' up!
