Happy Birthday Outing!

Happy Birthday to the most amazing partner, wife(y), mother, best friend, and woman that I have ever met!  Thank you for the chance to be part of your life for the last almost 20 years!  You are loved!

Check out this picture that Jeryn took of us while Up North in Baxter for the holiday weekend.  Looks like we have a budding photographer in the works:)

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

8 Charts that Describe our First Three Weeks in America

It has been great to be back "home" and around family.  It is incredible what you see when your perspective changes though.  These 8 charts are a quick comparison on the last 3 years in England and our first 3 weeks in America:

1. It seems that Americans aren't quite as good of drivers as Brits.  Or perhaps there are just a lot more drivers here?

2. That might be because of some different driving behaviours:

3. Or perhaps Minnesotans are just distracted:

4. In brighter news, the sun shines more here...surprise:)  Take that England!

5. And people appear to be more social (at least Minnesota nice):

6. Although American's aren't quite as polite as Brits:

7. Americans give a lot more hugs:

8. And of course, it wouldn't be America without tennis shoes:

It is absolutely wonderful to be "home", although we miss the excitement and surprise of England.
Hope to see you soon.
