We've Got a Hole

So I'm pretty sure there's a hole in my house somewhere. (<-- Because that's how all great conversations start right?) But I'm serious. There is a hole in my house somewhere and I have no idea where. I have searched high and low and everywhere in between and I've found nothing. But it's there - I know it.

I figured this out months and months ago, right about the time we moved into the house. Right when we had the Great Roly Poly Infestation of 2013. Forty million roly polies running around my house like crazy madmen threatening to take over! ((Translation: probably like 50 roly polies crawling at snail speed, annoying me because in the dark they kind of look like spiders.)) It was kinda gross though. But then one day they all just disappeared and I went on about my merry little way and forgot all about them.

Until we had the new problem. And what could be worse than the Great Roly Poly Infestation of 2013, you ask? Well, first, put down any liquids. I will not be responsible for any liquids ending up on your computer. That's just not kosher.

It's butterflies.

We now have a butterfly problem.

Now I love butterflies. Pretty, right? It's kind of a pain to get them out of the house - I'm always afraid we're going to hurt them and I'm pretty sure breaking a butterfly's wing is probably bad karma or something. I don't need that. But back to the problem. Hayden is terrified of butterflies. Seriously. No, really, I'm not joking. In the world o' Hayden, having a tiny little 2 inch butterfly flying around the living room, looking for an open window to escape the madness that is my house is pretty much like being chased by an 8 foot bat with 9 legs and neon green eyes. There's screaming and hiding in the bathroom. It's chaos. And this happens at least twice a week.

I must find this hole. As much as I love butterflies, they just can't keep coming in the house. This is getting ridiculous.

Berry Picking

Taking the afternoon to go berry picking in Little Thetford...

Hello From Across the Pond!

So hello and hola and all that good stuff! Welcome to our crazy! Lol

If you made it here then you know that I am (finally) taking the plunge and leaving the world of Facebook behind. A couple people have asked why so I'll give you the condensed answer - I didn't enjoy it anymore. There was a time when I really did, but in the last year or so the scales began to tip in the other direction. Lately, I realized that I was spending way too much time on something that was frustrating me more than it was making me happy. And I knew it was time when I felt better after the decision was made. Really, though, I'd rather be doing this. I've missed blogging. Like, a lot. I took a break a few years ago and never could get the timing right to get back into it. But here I am so yay!

I wanted to still have a place to keep people updated on what we're up to across the pond, pictures, random thoughts going through my head, etc. 

Anyway, know that we miss all of our family and friends, but are excited to share this journey with you. Please feel free to keep us updated on what you're doing as well. That is the #1 thing I'm going to miss about Facebook - knowing how people are doing. 

Much love guys <3
