London

We finally made it to London. We haven't been since we arrived here. We went last Saturday and spent the whole day there walking around and seeing the sites. We drove to a town just outside of London and then caught the underground tube into London. We went to the British Museum. It was full of all sorts of artifacts from around the world. Things like the Rosetta stone and some mummy tombs. All sorts of sculptures, things from Egypt, Greece, Rome, Africa, and Europe. So much to see!!!! Then we went and ate at a hamburger joint called the Ultimate Hamburger. It was really good meat for over here. After lunch we ventured off to the Tower of London. It was getting late so we just looked around the outside. We will have to go back and get a tour of the inside. Being so late and most of the museums were closing we decided to take a boat tour down the river and see some of the popular sites that way. We saw London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Millennium Bridge, The Eye, Big Ben, and many more sites right there on the river. It was a good time but bitter cold. Here are a few pictures of some of the sites for you all to enjoy.

As for an update on the both of us; we are doing well I am still working at the child development center everyday. It seems to keep me pretty busy. I am suppose to start working with the 6month to 1 year age group next week. I am ready to be in a permanent room instead of floating from room to room. As for Owen he is currently on his first TDY back to the states. He went to New Jersey for the week and will be back on Saturday. He is getting to fly everyday while he is on this trip so you can say he is probably enjoying himself. As for here the weather is cold and wet. It gets light around 7-7:30 and dark around 4-4:30 now but we are informed it is only supposed to get worse as the winter goes on. So pray we make it through the winter without losing our minds. Hope you all are well and are enjoying your holiday season. Talk to everyone soon.

Love,

Sara and Owen

Happy Thanksgiving

We wanted to say Happy belated Thanksgiving to all. We hope you had a great day yesterday and enjoyed the day with family and friends. We enjoyed the day with friends from Owen's squadron at another couples house. We had a great time. Owen was in charge of frying the turkey in his new fryer and boy was it moist and delicious. We of course had way more food than we needed and ate until we were all full. There were around 25 people. We had football to watch all day and some played poker. It was just a great day to spend with everyone and get out of the house for a while. But still it didn't compare to spending the time with all of you, we missed seeing everyone but you were all thought of often. Here are a couple of pictures of our day, enjoy. Miss everyone and happy holidays.


Love,
Owen and Sara

Owen's Birthday

Owen celebrated his 25th Birthday on the 1st of November. We didn't do a whole lot, supper and presents just the two of us. He is such a sport for pictures so I am attaching a few for you all to see him enjoying his presents. :)

We are doing well. Owen is still flying but only about once a week :( He wishes for more but I guess it will come with time. I have finally started work at the child development center. I work there everyday watching over kids from 6 weeks to 4 years old. I love it, getting to play with babies and toddlers is great.

Hope you are all doing well.

Love, Sara and Owen
