Getting Caught Up on British Slang

I need to memorize these phrases by the time I get to London in 2015, so I better get started now...

Thanksgiving 2013

Well, the Petersons managed to survive their first road trip as a family of three, with minimal psychological or physical damage.  We took a few days off to head to Arizona for Thanksgiving with my family, which was a lot of fun.  Special thanks to my kind parents for hosting the three of us for the weekend.

El Senor was a trooper, and actually did alright considering he was strapped into this chair for eight hours.  Bien hecho, amigo!

As you can imagine, El Senor was the star of the show, since much of the family had yet to meet him.  Here he is being gazed upon in silent awe. 

 

 

I asked one of my nephews to take a picture with some of the youngest members of the family.  By the time I got my phone back, he had managed to take 17 pictures to help capture the moment.  I call this collection: "Wait, get your finger off the lens.  Don't shake the camera too much.  Sam, get out of the shot.  You know what, I think we got it.  Just hand me back the phone."  In short, a good time was had by all.  Happy belated Thanksgiving!

The Petersons Have Their Next Assignment!

It's official, the Petersons are moving to London in May 2015!  Woohoo!  As I mentioned in our previous post, we had to rank 30 positions around the world where we would like to go after our time in Juarez has finished up.  London was #2 on the list, so we are pretty excited!

Our first choice was a bit of a long shot, so I have been thinking about London a lot over the last few weeks.  As a result, I've also been thinking quite a bit about the episode of "Friends" where the entire group goes to London for Ross' wedding, and Joey keeps driving Chandler nuts by shouting "It's London, baby!" every couple of seconds.

As you can imagine, I've been thinking of all sorts of similar things to shout at Sarah all day.  Hopefully, if she's lucky, I'll get tired of it within the next few days.  But until then...

IT'S LONDON, BABY!
