london bound...........summer abroad

this is tyler's flight enroute to london from houston. it is about 11:45 pm central time -- that means it is 5:45 am london time ---- hopefully he is sound asleep on that plane. he left at 7:10 pm and looks like he is just getting to the atlantic --- he is about half way -- scheduled to arrive monday morning at 10:00 a.m. (4:00 am central). the weather is looking nasty for his arrival -- 41 and rainy ......... brrrrrrrrrrrrtoday we took tyler to houston to board his plane for london, england. he will be doing an internship in london this summer for the next 6 weeks. he has been assigned to a very "elite" real estate firm, hampton's international --- located in chelsea. he will be living in a flat in kensington about 1 1/2 miles from his work place. although he was not able to be placed in his first choice of financial planning -- he is very excited about this real estate firm. kathryn will be arriving to london in two weeks for her internship at an elementary school along with taking one class. tyler will stay two weeks after his internship finishes to "hang out" with kathryn. they already have planned two side trips --- one to paris and one to rome. tyler will be travelling to coleford this weekend to stay with his homestay family that he met 3 yrs ago when he was on a mission trip in coleford, england --- about 2 1/2 hours north of london by bus. it is all very exciting. we are very proud of tyler and very excited for this opportunity he has worked on through texas A&M. it should be an adventure of a lifetime and hopefully will gain him incredible international experience and work contacts for his future in the finance world. he will turn 21 on june 10th while he is in london.....funny thing...he turned 18 in england on his last trip over there! ;) please pray for his safety and his health and his experiences while he is abroad and that he will continue to make good choices and STAND FIRM while he continues to grow up soooooooooooo fast!!! you can check out his blog by clicking on his link on the sidebar....................
