Things have been great since Christmas...the time has actually passed rather quickly, which is great for us, considering we're counting the days until we're home in March! 56 to be exact!!!! But the weather is starting to warm up here a little, get lighter as well, and we're getting alot more sun...which really is great!
As you can see from the previous blog posting, Rob is going to a fabulous school for his next placement. When I first saw the picture of it, I said to Rob that he's going to have to arrange a tour for me, or we're getting divorced:) The school sounds fabulous though, and I think he'll have a great time!
As for me, I'm still trucking along at work, having taken on more responsibility from my boss. I'm now in charge of organizing any vendor sales and promotions that go on in our buildings for our staff members. It's something extra that keeps me a little bit busier, so it's great news for that aspect. My boss chose me because she thought I did a great job organizing the Christmas lunches for our staff...she said I'm so organized..lol..for those of you that know me well, this probably comes as no surprise!
In other news, I cut my hair! I had been growing it for three years plus for the wedding, and was so sick of it...so much maitenance...so when Rob took off for a rugby game one weekend up north, I decided to go and cut it all off. Boy was he surprised when he got home:) I do really like it...it is much more manageable...and no knots! It's just a little too short for my natural curls to come out yet, but I can curl it just fine with my straightner. It will be a great cut to manage for our backpacking trip!
In other news, when Rob and I return from our trip home, we'll be going straight away on a 5 day trip up to the Highlands. We'll be renting a car, as it is cheaper than taking a tour bus, and we get to go exactly where we want to! Not really looking forward to navigating again, as the road signs here are absolutely atrocious! The road names are posted on the side of bulidings, and aren't very frequent....at home, at every intersection, you know which roads you're at...here you could drive for 5-6 minutes without seeing a road sign. Half the time, the buildings themselves actually have names....which can be easily confused for road signs, if you're not from Scotland, and when it comes to naming the roads....they just make it really confusing. Rob and I walked last weekend to his new rugby pitch, and got totally lost, as we were looking for the road called Inverleith Row....but kept passing Inverleith Place, Inverleith Way, Inverleith House, Inverleith Cres!!!!!!! Think you could manage that? It gets so confusing. However, we are looking forward to the trip.
We'll be hitting the majority of the hotspots, such as Glencoe, Ben Nevis, the Isle of Skye, Fort William (where the Cameron's are from), Glenfinnan(where the train bridge in Harry Potter was filmed...and the scenery in Made of Honour), Eileen Donan Castle, Inverness, Loch Ness, and more! It will be a great trip, and hopefully nice and warm for the long weekend! We're hoping to convince my dad to come along as well, but it all depends on his work schedule. Until then, we don't really plan on going anywhere, as we're saving for coming home on March 25th.
Well that's about it for us at this point. Hope everyone is keeping well and warm with all of that snow that you've been having!
Lots of love,
Sarah and Rob
