Hey gang,

Once again, it has taken me far too long to update my blog, so I’ll try my best to get you caught up and keep it short and interesting…tall order!

Here are some highlights since my last blog…in no particular order.

  • I had my in-laws come to visit us here in England, which was awesome.
  • My car, the Red Rover, finally died on me…we had to scrap her, sad times.
  • We got a new car, The Blue Mini, and she has taken us on some exciting adventures!
  • Jenell and I had our 1 year anniversary!
  • We took a 10 day road trip in our new car (The Blue Mini) all around different parts of the UK and Europe…we drove all over the UK and through parts of France, Belgium, and Amsterdam.
  • We were able to make one of Jenell’s dream come true…to be able to stand in a GIANT field of flowers as far as the eye can see.
  • I had my 34th birthday.
  • I got a couple of awesome new tattoos.
  • I’m still the shittiest football/soccer player in all the land.
  • I survived the May 21st, 2011 Judgement Day…I’m a badass.
  • I had dinner at the world famous Fat Duck.
  • I’ve seen Damien Dempsey, Mumford and Sons, Arcade Fire, and Weezer in concert.
  • I got an iPad 2…YAY!
  • Jenell and I went back to Los Angeles for a quick family visit and a friend’s wedding.
  • I’ve seen a few crappy movies and a few decent movies…which I will blog about soon enough in my ‘Big Dumb Movie Reviews’ blog.
  • One of our most beloved family dogs, Mercedes Gabra, passed away.
  • I finally learned how to get around on the tubes and trains of London without having to ask for help…from everone!
  • We found out that we will be moving back to Los Angeles on August 3rd.
  • Jack Daniels and I have remained close friends.
  • Did I mention I got an iPad 2???
  • I joined Google+…this is only interesting for the other geeks out there.
  • Jenell’s invented the Sunshine Cupcakes…which are officially known as the best cupcakes in England, and soon to be America!!

There are a few other highlights I’ve neglected to mention, some I’ve purposely left out so I can hopefully tell you all in person…and some I’ve just forgotten about.
So, I hope that gives you a good idea of what the last 6 months have been like for me and what has really amounted to the best year of mine and Jenell’s lives.

I know I keep promising that I will keep up with more blog updates, but who am I kidding…I think we all know that it could be a little while before write another one.
Why can’t I just commit damn it?!
I can at least promise you this, I have a feeling my blogs (few and far between) are going to get a lot more interesting and I will make sure to give you all the juicy details whenever those times come (few and far between) that I decide to sit down and write these damn blogs.

Did I mention that I got a new iPad 2…YAY!!!

Here are some pictures from some of the highlights I mentioned above, please enjoy…and as always…LOVE YA, MEAN IT!
