time flies.

I can't believe it's already almost December! Where has the time even gone?

Lindsey is leaving tomorrow. We've had a fantastic time. We started with a trip to Paris and tired ourselves out for four days. On Day 1 we visited the Louvres, which was amazing. I can't even begin to understand how big it is. Just getting around the building took over 2 hours. I think Lindsey really enjoyed it, as did I. We topped off the day by trekking up the Cathedral of Notre Dame. And what a trek it was! We climbed what seemed to be endless stairwells but it was beautiful once we got to the top. We were promptly in bed by 9 that night - Paris had tired us out! But it didn't stop there. We went to Versailles for the day on Tuesday and than that night climbed up the Arc de Triomphe. It was beautiful. And tiring! I seriously don't think we've walked so much in 2 days before! The Wednesday was probably the highlight of our vacation. In true UnRuh style, we went out to EuroDisney for the day! It was amazing! Obviously it didn't really compare to California or Florida but it was still quite good. We capped it off by going to the Eiffel Tower. Absolutely amazing little vacation.

The rest of Lindsey's trip has been filled with lots of shopping, a couple of musicals (Avenue Q and Wicked), The Eye and the cinema. It's been great and I'm sad to see her leave tomorrow!

Can't wait to come home and visit eventually. It won't be for a while, but I'm still excited!

We're gonna finish today with a trip to Marks and Spencer and then heading to the cinema tonight.

Love and miss you all. xoxo

It has been a VERY long time since I've posted and I'm trying to recollect what's been going on since then. Work has been going great. It gets busier everyday which is a good thing. The first couple weeks were really slow but we're getting more and more stuff to do on a daily basis.

I love the people that I work with and the company that I work for. So, all in all I think it's a win.

I'm excited because tomorrow Lindsey's gonna be here! It's going to be amazing to get a little piece of home. She's also bringing me loads of stuff but all in all I'm just excited to see her. It's crazy to think that I've been here for 4 months already - part of me doesn't even really understand that I've been gone that long! On one hand, it feels like it has only been a couple weeks but on the other it feels like I've lived here forever.

I have all of next week off and Lindsey and I are going to Paris for four days! I know I live in London and it's been amazing, but words can't describe how stoked I am to go back to Paris.


Anyway, just thought I'd give a quick update. Will try and keep more regular with this thing. Expect a few posts over the next few weeks considering Lindsey and I will be adventuring around London (and Paris!).
