Colin's Birthday!!!

Colin celebrated his 27th birthday in London! It was a great day. We slept in-




And ate lunch with Emily and Josh and my parents




And visited downtown- Buckingham palace and Leicester Square












We ate dinner at burger king. Classy I know.




Then we went to see The Lion King!! Happy Birthday to Colin!





We were a bit tired by the time we got to the train station that night. Emily and Josh ended up just staring at the lion king poster. So did Colin.







Poor Colin. He could barely move his back was so tired by the end of the day. He tried to stretch on the train. Thank goodness for morphine pills.




Happy birthday Colin!!
Love.

I was on the news!

London in photos-








We ate lunch on some steps by westminster abbey- lovely place




Colin was looking for any and every place to rest his back. Still not recovered yet.




We kinda don't know where we are ever...




The new Hyde park visitors center! We visited to show support.




Train stations are busy places...

British Adventures

Colin and I are in London visiting my mom and dad. They live on temple grounds! How cool is it that they look out the window and see this?




We are here with Emily and Josh- we love our family-

Colin is Alive 2

Emergency Room trips are never fun.  


Colin and I spent a painful night awake, to end up spending this morning in the ER.  I honestly don't know if it was more painful for me or him.  Him, because he actually was in severe physical pain.  Me, because I could do nothing to help him through his severe physical pain.  Oh there were tears for both of us.

Strained lower back muscles make for a really painful day.  Now he is drugged and somewhat comfortable.  Still in pain, but drowsy enough that he can sleep through it.


I hope tonight is less painful than last night...

Colin is Alive

So Colin snores.

Probably three times this past week or so, I have woken up in the middle of the night and thought, "It's awfully quiet."  I would turn over to see if Colin was even there, and sure enough, he was out like a light.

But not snoring.

The first time, I was positive he was dead.  But he was breathing just fine.  No snores, not even heavy breathing.

I can't sleep like that.  It's too weird.

Busy

I have been busy doing many things.  Sleeping a lot.  But busy doing other things.  


Like this:

And this:

I think I have taken almost 1500 photos of these Bolivian dance groups in just a few hours of observing them practice and perform.  And there will be more.  So much more.
