Haunted Punting

So last night we went haunted punting. We had such a good time! Unfortunately it was very dark out so we didn't really get too many pictures. I wish I could have though because we went all through Cambridge by boat and to see all the colleges lit up at night, it was so pretty. So here are the pictures that we did get. We punted with our good friends the Harrisons. So the other guy in these pictures is our friend Michael. One super awesome highlight of the night was when we went to the pub called the Anchor. While we were on our Cambridge tour the guide told us about this pub and how they have a special pilot room in the back. It is a part of the bar with a ton of squadron stickers all over it. This is where the RAF and American pilots hung out during the war. While we were there last night we saw a Red Falcon sticker, which the squadron we were in while in Kansas. This will always be a special place for us because it was our first squadron and we met some amazing people there. So we had to take a picture of the Red Falcon at the bar. For those of you in Lynden, if you ever look at the back of my dad's (Steve) truck you will see this sticker also, just a side note. Anyways, these are the pictures from last night. We had a blast.

Oh, we are so very, very boring!! I'm so sorry for you all that check this blog only to be disappointed. But Micah and I have just been up to a whole lot of nothing. I am now taking my second class in pursuit of my masters. It seems to be going pretty well. It does take up a bit of time though. I still am not subbing but I sure would like to be. I am hoping to start working come November. Micah has been getting back into the swing of things at work. It seems like even though he isn't flying very much they still manage to keep him very busy.

I'm trying to think of some fun stuff we have been up to lately but it has been kind of bland around here. We are going punting tonight in Cambridge. Punting is kind of like taking a gondola ride through Cambridge on the river. We are going with a bunch of people and in the spirit of Halloween it will be "haunted"...scary! I think since Cambridge has so much history we will probably just tour the place famous people have lived and died at but we will have to see.

We are still enjoying the motorcycle. I think it is about time to put it away for the year. We don't want to ride it in the rain and these days you just never know if you will see rain. So that is that. Punting tonight and hopefully trick-or-treaters tomorrow night!! Do you know that this will be the first Halloween since we have been married that we will be in our home, both of us in the same place, for Halloween!! Now don't get me wrong. I could care less about the day, but I do love to see all those cute kids dressed up!! So I think that will be the highlight of our weekend for me. Micah is on call this weekend anyways so we can't do all that much. Maybe if we have some super cute trick-or-treaters I will post some pics!

We're Back Folks!!

Well, we are finally back in England. It has been a long time, 5 weeks to be exact. But it is so good to be back together. I know that five weeks may seem like a long time, but we are just thankfull it wasn't 8 weeks:). Anyways, I left the house at 4:30 this morning to go pick Micah up from the airport. He was pretty tired and slept most of the day. When he finally decided to get up we had a lot of fun! We spent the evening carving pumpkins, making chili and watching football. Really, I don't think it could have been any more fun! Here are a few pictures of the pumpkins we carved.

This is the pumpkin I carved with our friends Danell and Michael earlier this week. It is looking a little sorry.

This is the pumpkin I carved tonight. The cat was supposed to have a longer tail, but let's just say there was an accident.

And here is Micah's awesome carving! Doesn't it look good?? I think it is great.

Now don't think we are super creative and crafty. We used some stencils from the store to do these. But we are super okay with that becuase even though we cheated a bit was had a great time!
