hi! hello, hong kong

did you hear you're our new home?

we'll be here three years

let's get to know you

mass transit, and cool walkways

many tall buildings

we'll soon be best friends

and i won't miss dairy food

rice is all i need

london, uk

my dearest london

i love to come visit you

and your neat people

while matt was working

i traipsed your streets, tried new things

saw many loved ones

class reunion at iranian restuarant

walking with rachelle on the bank of the thames
(the footpath was out so the beach seemed like the next best option!)

high school reunion with wendy and matt at tapas bar

cotswolds, uk

in the english countryside,

there is a place beautiful and grand.

yet, it's wide open spaces cannot hide,

the sheep that graze its lush, green land.

strolling paths and streams are found,

around each bend and turn.

the people and food are also renowned, 

we suggest you come and learn.

our delightful b&b

oxford, uk

we arrived in oxford on a blistery day,

with lots of cool wind and air blowing our way.

we visited various colleges and imagined university life here,

after seeing the library matt thought he'd like to try it for a year!

with pastys in our tummy we enjoyed a stroll down high street,

happy that the city of dreaming spires was such a welcome treat.

porterville, ut

dearest porterville

thank you for letting us stay

with you in utah

we will surely miss

your beautiful vistas

and lovely cabin

brigham city, ut

on our last visit with amy and tim,

in brigham city we met for dinner.

we decided to fill ourselves full to the brim

(this would not be a meal to make us thinner).

after eating and visiting we headed outdoors,

to take pictures and commemorate the day.

we jumped and posed - this photo shoot was hard core,

said goodbyes and headed each our separate ways.

morgan, ut

roses are red,

violets are blue,

we love to visit with family,

and take pictures of them too!
