FUN

Mike rocking out.

Dawson Playing

Hello everyone, we are still just chilling out over in England. The phone company has decided to cut our phone off almost 3 weeks too early and they say the internet is going to be cut off any day now. We should still be online every once in a while, we will just have to take the computer to the library or the community center. We will make due for the next 2 weeks..... YES.... I said 2 weeks and we are out of here. I am really excited. Michael's replacement got here yesterday and I think he is really getting excited now too.



I went to the BX (the base store) yesterday with my friend and they had a Karaoke set up. If you sang a song, you could get a coupon and save up to a max of $100 on any one item. Dalton, Dawson and I sang 'I Had a Bad Day" and we got a coupon for 50% OFF any one thing. We decided to buy the Wii Guitar Hero III. It is sooooo much fun. We were having a blast last night. I am not sure who had more fun, the boys or Mike and I after they went to bed. Here are a few pictures of them rocking out. If you have a Wii and don't have this, I recommend it, if you don't have a Wii, well I can't believe it!! HEEHEE You can come to our house and we will share. (Just to let you know, I am kicking Mike's butt on the Guitar Hero!!!)

We will keep you posted on where we are and what is going on but until then, some of you have our cell or email us. Thanks for looking!!

We are still here!!!

Wow, we have been so busy, the time and events are flying by like mad. We have now been packed out and our goods are on their way to the good ol USA. Things have just blown by, it seems as if we were looking forward to them forever and then now we are looking back thinking, "wow, when did that happen?"

We went on our camp out to Normandy, France. It was amazing and very humbling. We were able to see a lot of the coast for the different beaches, Omaha, Utah, Sword, Juno and Gold. The cliffs were daunting and to even imagine what the men were thinking as they were approaching in their boats, knowing they had to try to climb the cliffs and get shot at while doing so is an impossible task. So many lives lost..... The American cemetery there was done so beautifully and I am grateful for that, at least these men have a beautiful and Peaceful resting place. (I will attach some pictures)

A shot of Pointe Du Hoc, there were so many craters from the bombs and some bunkers.

The Memorial statue, this represents Youth rising up out of the waves. It was beautiful.

The wall of the missing...... very sad to see so many names still missing

Other good news is that Michael finally graduated!!! And I am ever so sorry to say that my camera battery was dead so I didn't get a picture of it. I am hoping to get one from the news paper guy that was there. I got it on video though. If I ever figure out how to add that I will. I must be going for now. I hope all is going well and I will keep you all posted on our whereabouts. Thanks for looking.....
