Wimblerain

I'm still digging into past memories...



Kenny came to visit us in early July. He is our dear friend from Houston who, among other talents, happens to be a passionate tennis player. So, guess where we all went one day? Yes, the tennis lawns of Wimbledon. I was so excited to be in the mist of all those famous players, to catch a tennis ball, to see a celebrity, to appear on tv or something. But not, all we got was 8 hours of rain and 45 minutes of tennis.







I guess we can come back next year and hope we get better weather. It might not be amongst such great company though... (sigh) Thanks Kenny and Monika for coming and filling our home with laughter and fun. We miss you!

Our three year anniversary

Back in June 26th, we celebrated our 3-year wedding anniversary with a small road trip adventure. We wanted to get a closer look at the real English countryside, so we decided to rent a car and discover the southwestern coast of the island on our own.

The experience is not recommended for newlyweds, because the whole "driving on the opposite side of the road" deal is pretty stressful. It was more of a "test your marriage" adventure than an anniversary trip. But, fear not, we prepared ourselves with lots of maps and plenty of patience.



In the end, we got lost a couple of times, but love prevailed.



We visited the Dorset region which is famous for it's quaint villages and the white cliffs overlooking the English Channel. Ted booked a beautiful B&B in Dorchester and did a great job driving. Our main goal was to discover the "Old Harry Rocks" and we found them!

A June Post in August

Yes. I'm going back in time trying to remember all the things I've done. uhmmm painful task (especially when one's memory is not the best) I remember that at the beginning of June, Ted and I had made plans to go to Italy. We had air tickets and hotel reservations in Venice and Lake Como. Everything was set up and ready. Except the fact that, at the last minute, Ted had some work related issues and the trip was canceled.
Now, you might think that was the end of the story, but wait! I didn't have a job at that time, so guess what happened? Yes. I went to Lake Como. By myself. And I liked it.


Lake Como is beautiful. I saw George Clooney's house. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see him.


the best pizza ever!



What does one do when alone in Italy?...

shopping!!!

Back in May...

May was a fun month indeed. Not only we spent time with Romy from Ecuador, but we also enjoyed the company of our friends Adam and Jasmine from Houston.


Here are Ted and Adam setting up "Air mattress city"

It's all too blurry now


Thank you guys for coming. We miss you!!!

The day has come!

Yeah, I know... about time! Sorry everybody. I have so much to tell. I don't even know where to start... it's been so long.

Ok, mabye I should start saying that I got a job. Yes. A job, here, in London. Isn't that great? The days of expat wife are long gone. Now I wake up in the morning and get out of my house to join the endless line of London commuters. I love it!

Well, the job is great. I am an account manager for a company who provides cultural and language training for expats, among other tools for the "global workforce." The office is nice, the people are great. No complains. The only thing is that the new job has messed up my time. My days go so fast, so furious. This blog has gone to the bottom of my priorities. I'm sorry. It's such a shame.

With that said, I will go ahead and dust off some old pictures to show what has happened in the last months. Stay tuned!
