Experiences


It's March 2012! That means two things: time is flying by and I suck at blogging. So far the year has been pretty good, albeit a few hiccups along the way. We recently found out we have to move in the next two months. The owners of the house we are currently renting need to move back in, thus we gotta go. We were shocked and disappointed to hear this, but such is life. It's definitely a drawback to our mobile lifestyle, but what can you do? We have already hit the ground running and are currently looking for a new place.

Although I will miss the charm of Cage Cottage, I wont miss blasts of cold water during showers, a mole that has moved into the backyard, and not having plugs in the bathroom. It was fun living in a really old house, something I will always remember, but I think we are aiming for a newer one this time around.

Other things for 2012, Matt turned 32 a couple weeks ago (old bastard!) and we spent the day at the Land Rover factory about 2.5 hours north of us near Birmingham. It was a blast! The factory is an amazing place, turning out around 4,000 cars a week. It was really cool watching a car built from the ground up. It gave me even more appreciation for the brand and how cars are made in general. After a four hour tour, we had a lovely on site lunch and then hit the trails for another few hours of off-road fun. Matt drove and I was the passenger, my favourite spot since I can sit in the back and bounce around. All in all it was a great day, some photos posted above (Thanks to Amy S. for Piscasa)

I suppose all in all 2012 is doing alright. I am very excited my dad and step mom are coming to visit in a couple weeks and then it's off to Italy for Matt and I. Granted we have to move during all of this, but we will make it. It's all part of the experience!
