Well it is almost 7 am and we are about ready to say Good Bye to Oxford : (
It has been an AMAZING year, lots of good fun, good friends, good food , amazing experiences and many many laughs. Oh yeah and Adam earned an MBA in there as well !!
I suppose we will see you all on the other side of the pond in a few days.

Christmas Cookies
This week has been flying by, I can't believe it is Sunday!
On Friday night we went to dinner with some friends and actually found a pub nearby that serves all vegetarian food. I was pretty amazed that we hadn't found the place before. The food was OK, but it was nice to have a few Vegan choices though !
Yesterday, our friend Liz hosted a cookie baking afternoon. A few of the girls met up and we made some Christmas Cookies, listened to cheesy Christmas music and even fit in a game of Clue before the boys met us for dinner. It was a fun afternoon and a great chance to see everyone together one last time.
Today however, Adam and I should get organized and packing. We have so much to do in the next few days. Including a drive to Wales, a ferry to Dublin, a flight to New York and finally a drive home.

4 More days
Wow, it seems like just yesterday I blogged about having only four more days until Adam and I leave for Oxford. Now... we have four more days left in Oxford.
This week we have been busy packing and cramming in a last few experiences. Sunday we packed and had a few friends go through our Free Stuff ! Tuesday I had a last dinner with the girls. Wednesday was the last Happy Hour. During the week Adam has been going into school to get some reading and job applications done, giving the dogs a lot of good walks and visiting with friends.
Tonight Adam and I went to a dinner at his college. I am embarrassed to say that it was my first one. It was actually a nice meal and we met some very nice people as well.

Carols and debates
On Sunday Adam and I were invited to attend the Advent Carol service at Christ Church cathedral. The service was very beautiful and the choir was impressive. We learned that Christ Church has a choir school.
