Arrived Safe and Sound!

Hi Everyone!

Finally have this blog ship shape and ready for blogging! My flights all went fine. Only problem was security in Portland. They were suspicious of my tiny hand sanitzer bottles. Guess I looked like a mad scientist back there. Oh well.
My flight to Vancouver was chill. Sat next to a Asian guy who I think was Japanese from his accent. He mainly did texting and slept. At least we didn't bother each other while we napped. The transfer was simple. They had the passengers fill out a landing declaration card even if we were just passing through. Almost all the people in line needed pens and I had just the write number. It made me all happy to do a small act of service :)

Flying to London was FANTASTIC. The British couple I sat with helped me load my backpack in a overhead bin and the lady even asked the stewardess for a muffin and yogurt for me while I was sleeping later on during the flight. Plus they were such a cute couple :) The seats were huge like first class (the first class seats were even bigger. Don't even know how that's possible) and they had a screen to watch movies, listen to music, play games on, etc. on each seat for each person. I watched "The Sound of Music" and a little bit of "Dinosaur" before I fell asleep (haha). Even the food was great! For dinner, I had a chicken on rice with veggies, a roll, and a very yummy chocolate cake.

Julie Herbertson (my wonderful hostess) came to pick me up. We made a nice little chat about music, church news, what Utah and the Northwest are like, What England weather is like, and such. While all this chatting was going on, my excitement kept growing! In my mind I would say, "There's a British tree! Oh look at that British stoplight! Wow, those are gorgeous British flowers (The plants and stoplights look the same to the ones in the USA, I just thought them to be more exotic then they really are)!"

When we arrived at the Old Rectory (The Herbertson Home), I met Nathan (Julie's son) and Nana (Cliff's mom) and Julie showed me to my room. After I unpacked most of my things, Julie and I left to go pick up Connor (Julie's youngest son) from school. After we returned, Julie showed me around the house and I got to meet 3 adorable little dogs, and Jim who lives next door.

Now I'm just finishing my unpacking and of course writing up all this. I shall now work on uploading pictures and hopefully get them up today before hitting the hay :)
