So. We're going to Scotland for vacation. There is a wonderful family at our church. The wife, Janet, is from the U.K. Her sister, Catherine, lives in Edinburgh with her husband and two children, Kaitlyn and Douglas. They came over to the states for a good bit of the summer to visit Janet and their other family. We decided to house swap. What does this entail? Well, when we go to Scotland, they will live in our house and we will live in their house over in Edinburgh. We met Catherine, Kaitlyn and Douglas last Wednesday. They are wonderful. Catherine is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Kaitlyn, who's eight, is such a dear. She makes me laugh. We would compare how I said things to how she would say them. Then we would teach each other different words. Douglas, almost five, is adorable. He has stolen my heart, and I doubt he's going to give it back. :D We took them to the Science Factory and to the Fractured Prune. We had a wonderful time. I have to say it. I love their accents. It makes me so happy. I have always loved British accents and theirs is just as good. It's so fun to listen to them talk.
With that long intro over with, I will now tell you what this blog is for and what you will hope to see. My goal is to post every day about what we did with pictures that I myself have taken. I love to take pictures (TaxiCABPhotography) so, I promise you, I will be taking loads over there. I'm excited. One of the things I've been looking forward to is blogging and now I have started!! Yay!
Tonight is a U.K. send off party for our family (and our friends the Slessers). I'll post about that later.
I hope you will come visit regularly and leave comments! Let me know what you think!
Much Love,
CareyAnne
