We are back home in the UK after an intensely busy and short visit home. The first few days involved taking an English friend around Pittsburgh and the surrounding area. I can't tell you how much fun it was showing and talking about why I love the city and Pennsylvania in general. I was a cheerleader and it started to ignite that kernel of excitement of moving back and thinking about what's next. Although, you can see my priorities when the top "sights" on my list involved food. We've gone months without good Mexican food, pizza, wings and pancakes. We ended up not eating a single meal at home, making sure to get our fill of favorites. The other big reason for being home? My younger brother's wedding! He and his new bride are currently honeymooning in Scotland * waves at them to the north! * The wedding itself went off smoothly, once the priest arrived, being an hour late in starting. It was the perfect storm of traffic situations. We had a great time at the ballroom dancing fueled wedding, catching up with family and friends, and getting a few "blasts from the past" from some people I haven't seen in over a decade. As a wedding gift, I painted a couple rooms in their new house, painting is my thing. So as per so many recent entries, I have much to blog about and many photos forthcoming. I just need to recover a bit from this jet lag. Neither of us slept on the flight in, a redeye on Monday night. I usually can fall asleep during take off, we fly so much. But not this time. This followed by a night of little sleep. It's always harder to recover from jet lag flying from the US to the UK.
