Hey Madame! Thanks for the video of Garrett :) They are always a good way to start the day :D Much has happened since I last sat down and made a blog post.  I have finished uni for the semester woo! The last few weeks have been so busy and stressful! I have put the final images from my project on here so you can see them.  They are suppose to represent "now and then" I made a studio in my flat which is way too tiny but I managed to squeeze it all in :D  I then managed to get a part time job finally after loads of looking! It's a little kid's store called Trotter's. The clothes are really cute but quite pricey.  Now I am just getting everything organized for Christamas and my parents and manda visiting. How was your Thanksgiving this year?? David and I decided to go to a pub down the road from me as they were having an "authentic Thanksgiving dinner with beer to match" :D and I didn't want to spend all my money cooking for my flat mates. It was really nice as well! And I have to say lived up to being authentic :) How many weeks till Christmas break starts?

Pretty leaves! All gone now of course but it was so nice while it lasted!

David got a new camera a few weeks back, an even fancier one of course! 

Park near my house when all the leaves were falling :)

This is at a garden centre near David's house called Van Hage's and they have some amazing Christmas displays as well as a petting zoo at the back :D

David on Firework's Night! (Guy Fawkes night)

Some of the fireworks (I have videos but they are too big to upload :(

Me cheesin it in front of the giant tree in Covent Garden

This is my Thanksgiving dinner! It doesn't look that great but it was soooo delicious! Turkey, stuffing and loads of mash and gravy :D

This is from a couple of days ago. David and I went to St James' Park and I fed some of the squirrels! I was terrified at first but they were so cute and nice and just ate them really nicely :)

Hopefully I will get around to editing some more pics off my real camera at some point so I can show you them instead of pictures from my phone! 

Oh yes and here is a video I made of behind the scenes stuff from a group project I did about a month ago and I am quite proud of it :D https://vimeo.com/51831102

Hi!

Hey Madame!  Sorry for not keeping very up to date with emails and stuff lately.  School has been absolutely insane.  The first two days back we got given four projects, two of them group work bleck! 
There's loads of pictures on here now.  There are a few more pictures from Yorkshire and some from group work and some more from taking pictures with my flat mate for her blog.



Cheesin in the phone booth in the middle of no where (aka Kettlewell Yorkshire)


I was forced to hike up this super steep hill in the rain but got some cool sheep pics :D


Me and David at the end of the massive hike. I'm amazed I survived :D


Apparently this is a "style" not sure but basically we had to climb over loads of slippery rocks because we weren't allowed to walk through the giant fence right next to it :D


This is from before we went to Yorkshire when I went fishing! It was kinda gross and very outdoorsy so I just had David touch all bait and fish and I caught them :D


David holding the fish I caught! I was too scared to touch it :D


These are all the fish we caught during the 12 hours we were there. We put them all back as well. It seemed a bit pointless haha


These are pictures I took for my flat mate's fashion blog 







These are pictures we had to take for "technical delivery" to show we knew how to work a camera :D




These are some not so great photos from my phone but thought I would share them anyway. David and I went to the Southbank and took some pictures last week.  This one's boring but necessary to take anyway :)


This is a picture of a film print.  How cool is this painting!! We found it on a house when we went to Notting Hill.


Cliche house picture from Notting Hill


This is one of the many many parks near my flat.  All the leaves are starting to change and I don't have time to go to David's and see them in the woods properly and it is making me angry 


This is from a studio day we did at school 


This is my breakfast!  I love love love putting cheese on toast with onion it's delicious even if it doesn't look it :D


Me and Reese's :)


A Baskin Robin's has just opened at the top of my road and they were giving away free ice cream so we got some :D


My mad cooking skills!  They are homemade thai noodles that my mom's friend from Thailand gave me the recipe for and they were delicious.  I made them in a wok! I felt so cultured :D


I love all the videos of Garrett!!! He is so cute and so smart!  I love the kitchen fire one it cracked me up. The goggles especially :)  Fall break is coming up isn't it?  Are you doing anything for that?  
I realized the other day, my whole term is only 6 weeks long! How is that enough time to get everything done? But I suppose it's nicer than 18 weeks :D 
Hope you're enjoying the nice fall weather! I really miss going to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard!

Bonjour!

Hi Madame!! Sorry for not updating this for so long!  I've had a busy few weeks since I've been back!  I got back and had to start looking for a flat which was insane but I have found one that is pretty cool and it's in a SUPER nice area :D  That's always a plus.  Also I'm living with a french girl so I will have to brush up on my french this year :D Once I did find a place to live I moved in one day and then left for the Yorkshire Dales to go on a family vacation with David's family for a week.  I've just gotten back from that and am finally starting to get settled now.  I've posted some pictures just from my phone of some stuff because I still haven't had time to sort through my pictures from the trip as we took kids pictures and engagement pictures before we left as well! I start school Tuesday but it's not really starting it's just a library induction so I don't start until October 1st.  Hopefully that will give me some time to edit some pictures and show you some more decent shots.  I hope school has been going well so far! Does Greg like his job as Vice Principal? I'm sure Garrett's as cute as ever as well :)  

This is 3/4 of my room :D  It's so low to the ground it might as well just be a mattress on the floor but can't really complain :D 



These drawers are the cheapest drawers ever created and are horrible see through plastic so I covered them up today with this stuff :D


Here are a few pics from Yorkshire.  I was dragged up muddy hills in the freezing rain dodging sheep poop at every turn.  But it was still fun :D





These sheep were pretty cool and this is the only pic from my real camera that i've edited.  They were cool but they are everywhere up there! 

Hope all is well back in Indiana!

Garrett's Pictures

Hey Madame! Here are a few of my favourites from Garrett's pictures :)  I have loads more but I thought I would show you a few of my faves.  I will stop in on Wednesday after lunch so probably around 12:30 but I will let you know for sure :)  I really hope you like these! They will probably look most accurate colour/contrast wise on your ipad :)
