A busy few months.

It is going to be the busiest few months of my life and the first week at English Country Schools has flown by with a flourish of delicious food, swimming and smoothies. If the rest of the summer goes by as quickly then I will be stood at the alter in no time at all.

Whilst I am here it is pretty easy to forget that the outside world is stil moving along, with the atrocities that have happened in Norway and soccer pre-season friendlies (Including Man Utd smashing the Sounders 7-0). Also, Aelisa is in Maryland finishing up her time with the Air Force there, ordering new McEvilly name badges for her uniforms and packing up her life ready for the roadtrip to California. It was 114 degrees there yesterday, poor Blue couldn't stay outside for long. I hope our roadtrip doesn't encounter any such temperatures.

I am on my day off and need to plan things to do next week, anything I can do to do with sport you think of just holla atcha boi!

Last Job in the UK before the big day and move.

Port Regis School, the home of ECS Juniors
I have been in Dorset, UK at the school in the picture, for almost a week now. Teaching small children from all over the world for 4 weeks during the lead up to my stag weekend, week of entertaining the in-laws, the big day and the big move. No rest for the wicked! It's fun down here, leading trips and being responsible for so many children who cannot communicate using English too well is a challenge but a great one, I take my hat off to them for doing it and doing it with a smile, some of them as young as 7.

Wedding preperation has obviously slowed down, but everything other than the cake is paid for, I hope. Aelisa begins her moving out process with the US Air Force soon, so it is all begining to feel real now. Exciting times ahead, I for one cannot wait.

Well it's my day off but I have some work to do, until next time friends

The last goodbye (for reals this time)

I'm getting paper.
2 weeks in sunny Maryland flew by with trips to the pool, visiting Delaware to double our money in the casino and making wedding arrangements slash house hunting (How grown up!) It was a great trip, during which I found out I passed my degree, so there's another box ticked before the rapidly approaching wedding.

I sit in a cheap motel in Newark, New Jersey because my flight home was missed because of a thunderstorm. I know I had the volcano incident last year where I lived in Amsterdam airport like Tom Hanks for 4 days but we have been really lucky that those are the only 2 incidents we have had in 3 years of travelling back and forth accross the Atlantic. Just one more trip (One way) to do before the big day. It cannot come quick enough. Just 4 weeks of work, teaching, starting on Tuesday, if I get home before then.

Bed time, got a lonnnng day of sightseeing in New York and flying through the night tomorrow.
