The Ice Bar







This last weekend we went to London and went to the Ice Bar. It is a bar made of ice. It was really cool. We went with our friends Michele and Miguel and stayed the night down there. It was a lot of fun. Anyone that comes to visit we will have to go. Brad got his face painted as a tiger at the rainforest cafe. It looked so good.

Veterans Day




Brad marched in a Veterans Day parade. It was a small thing in Mildenhall village. They marched to a war memorial, layed down poppy wreaths and then marched to the church where a rememberance service was held. They call it rememberance day here and they do not get the day off. At 11am they do a nation wide silence lead by the Queen over the radio. It was very neat to be a part of and I must say they are way more patriotic then Americans. We were both very impressed. For those of you not familiar with the poppys they all wear them here around this time of year as part of remembering the veterans. The story behind it is that after the war, WWI, ended poppy's grew in the fields where the deceased had been left. Just a brief bit of information. Brad looked very good and marched well. He is the front row on the left when looking at the picture.

Halloween


For Halloween this year we went to our friends house, Michele and Miguel. They threw quite the Halloween extravaganza. It was a blast. I was Tigger and Brad was, well you can take a look and use your imagination. The costumes were last minute and over here you cannot just run to Wal-mart and get something the day of. I guess we are learning slowly about the lack of convenience here.

Bradley's accomplishments


Moving to England has opened some great doors for Brad. He has gone back to school to earn his degree. He is studying hard and is kicking ass on his tests. He also got a new job in the Air Force. It was a once in a life time opportunity and they offered it to him. He is enjoying it a lot and is working with a lot of great people that inspire him and are helping him to reach his goals. He has a lot to be proud of!!
