Hello! Bet you all thought I forgot about this whole blogging thing. I have not forgotten, just been pretty busy! I'll pick up where I left off...after our anniversary trip to Paris, I flew home for a week. I was able to see friends, family and enjoy one of my favorite weekends of the year-Mardi Gras Galveston! The day after I returned to London, we welcomed our first visitors-John Paul and Michael. And from then on, we had pretty constant guests throughout March. Tiffany and Nathan were next, then Troy and Matt and finally Meghan! It was SO nice having our friends here and being able to show everyone what our life is like in London. Here's some pictures of some of the highlights:

We took the train to Oxford when Troy and Matt were in town. Beautiful place, but unfortunately my camera died..
Meghan and I took a little girls trip to Paris while she was here. It was so nice to have some girl time! Megs was by far the most relaxing visitor. :) We did what we do best: Shopped, talked and drank wine!

Well that about sums up our month of March! It was quite a whirlwind and exhausting, but completely worth it.
So far April has been pretty relaxing. We have spent time at our pub, went to our first movie here, went to a comedy show and got last place at the pub quiz night (again). It has been raining A LOT the past couple of weeks and it is getting really old!
Coming up:
I am going to the NKOTBSB concert this Sunday-so excited!
Brittani and John are coming to visit in 2 weeks! I can't wait to see them. AND we are going to Dublin for a few days while they are here.
Dates and I are planning a trip to Greece for a long weekend the first week of June. We can't wait for the sunshine and the beach!!!
That's all for now. I promise I won't wait so long next time to post an update!
