we made it across the pond!

Well, our travels have officially begun! We arrived in London early this morning -- 1 full hour early in fact! I had the pleasure of standing in the long non-UK/EU passport line with Simon as he went on and on about the inconvenience of marrying an American who forced him to stand in the wrong line! LOL. Oh the years to come will be such a pleasure...!!! We were also not at all prepped for the 'simple' questions asked by the border control agents...

Question: "where are you two living?"

Answer: "umm, err, we're homeless. is that a problem!?"

Question: "Are you related?"

Answer: "umm, err, we're actually engaged and plan to illegally marry in the US next year, before anyone kicks this lovely Brit out of my country."

Question: "How long are you staying?"

Answer: long silence, stare at agent as though she asked the question in Chinese. "2 weeks." and she says, "so you plan on returning to the US directly after?" I pretend it was a statement instead of a question, and when she looks at me dumbly, "ummm, err, im going to africa...is that ok!?" EEK!

Needless to say, it certainly seemed like i was lying!!!

Anyways, so after 3 more hours of commuting with 6 bags, we are finally at Simon's parents house in Birmingham and are taking the day to relax before vacationing with the in-laws all week!

Oh, and surprise surprise, its raining!!! ;)
