So I've just spent the past hour having my mind blown by these maps, and I thought you all might appreciate them as well!

This is comical.

Hellllooo lovers. Watch this video, I found it amusing and think you all will too. After you do that, scroll down and read Emalie's post right below this here post. I agree with her...its time for a reunion.

Now, the video.

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

Good afternoon my loves!

I have recently realized that I have really neglected taking the time to post on our blog. I thoroughly enjoy reading each of your posts, and yet I have never really stopped to write any of my own. So there is no particular point of this post, nor do I have anything overly exciting to share with you, but I figured I'd stop and take a moment just to say hello :)

The end of this month marks the two year anniversary of when we all flew off to London together; there are times this seems so far away to me, yet other times I feel as though I was just there with all of you only yesterday. To this day it is hard for me to accept the fact that we will never again get to relive those 3 1/2 months of pure fun together. As some of you may know, I have been trying hard since last year to become certified to teach in the United Kingdom. After much communication among me, the UK Teaching Agency and the CT State Department of Education, it looks as though (fingers crossed) I can receive my UK certification once I complete the TEAM program this year. Anyways, as exciting as it would be to get to teach in London (if I can get a job hahaha), I often become a little teary-eyed when I realize that it will be NOTHING like it was when I was there with all of you in 2011. I loved the city of London and all it had to offer, but I often think about how much of this love was not necessarily for the place itself, but instead for the people I was with. Don't get me wrong, I am still convinced that London is and will always remain one of my favorite cities on this planet. However, I am still more than a bit terrified that if I were to actually take the leap and move there in a year from now, I would wind up terribly disappointed, as I wouldn't have some of my dearest friends there with me. So, I guess what I am trying to say is: WHO WANTS TO MOVE BACK TO LONDON WITH ME? Hahaha...only kidding. But damn, if you do, I would be the happiest person on Earth.

Anyways, there is not much else I have to share with you. I have been thinking that although I have been lucky enough to see many of you multiple times over the past year, I am a bit disappointed that we have still not had a complete reunion. I am talking the entire gang, all fourteen of us. I know that would be a very hard feat to accomplish, but I have faith that we can do it. I know we have people across the country, as well as across the ocean, but I have recently determined that I am going to do all I can to get the whole lot of us together sometime in the next year or two. This is something I am going to need a bit of help with, as I have to at least know when everyone will be present in the same country. So if you have any desire to see all of our 14 beautiful faces together in one place again, I would be more than willing to try and put some type of reunion together- just let me know when you'll be in the USA (and maybe somewhere along the East Coast...). Whose in?!

Alright, I need to go take a shower (I am sitting here in nothing but a bathrobe reminiscing about the fun I had with all of you). Again, I am serious about this reunion thing- I don't care if we are in London or in my house in Mansfield, CT....let's start brainstorming.

Enjoy what's left of your summers. I LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU WITH ALL MY HEART <3
