I'm back!  How have I been so neglectful? I should be ashamed...but when I tell you everything that has happened since my last post, you will say "whew...I understand."  Thank you for your patience and thank you for following along with me still.  I will be updating on a regular basis now, and have so missed writing...it has been such a large part of my life for so long...it's time to get back to it.

For those of you who follow me but don't know me on a day-to-day basis, I finally made it to England.  Not only did I make it, I stayed almost 4 months.  I saw England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Paris.  It was the most amazing experience of my life, and I did it virtually alone.  My dearest and bestest friend in the world, Sharon, accompanied me to Paris and London and we had a great time.  I will be updating you with stories of our stupidity and hilarity in places like Versailles.  You won't want to miss it.

In the meantime, I am glad to be back and hope that you will be following along with me on this journey we call life.  It is quite fantastic!  In the meantime, here's just a little something from England.  I made it to Stourhead, which was in the top five of my all time bucket list.  It did not disappoint.  I don't think I've ever seen any landscape as lovely.  As someone who is obsessed with the 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this was nothing short of a religious experience for me.  More pics and stories to come.  Cheers!
