our two pence.

can.you.guess.who.thought.of.the.blog.name?

yeah, not me. i'm not that creative. but 'gus in london' could have jinxed that exact fact, and well...whatever i would have thought of would have been ex-nayed by the husband-ay. here's a quick recap of our moving weekend...

so moving day and the day after were hectic. more than i thought. the movers came at 8:30am. and worked all day until around 7pm. such hard workers, and just continuously packed up and moved on out into the huge moving van. gus was tired from the previous day at daycare, and was all out of sorts:

gus had not slept up until the movers went to lunch; so when they left, he found a nice sunny piece of carpet to collapse on. when it got to hot, he struggled to get up, slowly crouched his way to my closet and collapsed again in my closet. HAHAHA. he's so cute...but maybe i'm just biased.

we had so much crap in the condo. and i mean SO MUCH.

then towards the end of the day, gus decided to check things out:

and then when all was packed up and we were ready to leave, gus still just wanted 1 thing:

we had a total of 4 checked in bags, and 5 carry-on bags. well we're on our own for 5 weeks, you can only pack lightly for so much, right?? i'll skip talking about saying bye to gus...anyways, the family came to the airport to see us off, and all was fine until the end when some tears started, and then didn't stop.

the flight was about 6.5 hrs, and after about a 1 hr wait to disembark, another 40 minutes in immigration, we found the man holding the sign with our names, and piled our stuff and ourselves into the minivan:

our 2nd full day, we checked out the location of our offices (we're only 2 blocks away from each other), and then toured the area. we're both by st. paul's cathedral:

and millenium bridge; the sky was so beautiful, it didn't even look real!:

so that's the quick update from this side of the atlantic...our first day of work was today, and we both had it pretty easy...my office is frickin nice! and from what arch says, his office is just ok, and cramped. we tried to get cell phones at t-mobile today, but we needed a UK bank acct which has the proper credit checks completed. so we opened our bank accts, and hopefully we'll have our new blackberrys tomorrow. WOOT WOOT! i will finally have external email access while i'm in the vault.
