Jason's leave was amazing, we spent a lot of time together, did some little home improvement projects and took a wonderful camping trip. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trip.

Relaxing in front of our tent
The country roads in the area were lovely

We had to find a creative way to keep Max cool and hydrated. He loved the spray bottle!
Our camping neighbor Josh, he was Max's best buddy, and the adorable little girl from another neighboring campsite
All cooled off and relaxing
Max gets up close and personal

Setting out on our hike to Stanley Ghyll Force (waterfall)
Jason climbed all the way to the top of the waterfall for this lovely view

The nights were very cold so we let Max cuddle in to stay warm.
The fours weeks of leave flew by, but I feel like we made the most of it. Jason left for deployment this week so I am now left with a lot of time on my hands. Luckily I am getting closer and closer to my driving test which is on the 18th of September. I only have a few more lessons and I am doing really well with my driving. I can't wait until I pass my test and I can drive about freely!
This Week's British TV Review:
Four Weddings
This show was made for me. It is a kind of spin off of Come Dine With Me, which I wrote about several weeks ago. Instead of judging dinner parties, this is a show where brides judge each other's weddings.
Four brides are chosen and they all attend one another's wedding. After each wedding the guest brides have to rate the bride on the venue, the food, the dress and the overall presentation. After all of the weddings are complete the bride with the highest marks wins a dream honeymoon.
This show is a bit of a guilty pleasure, brides can get pretty catty and I love to watch the personality clashes and I especially love to watch the envious brides nit-picking the other's weddings. They often throw some non-traditional weddings and ecentric brides into the mix with themes like Renaissance (with a roasted wild boar at the buffet table) and a snotty Russian bride with a wedding dress that looked like it belonged in the Moulin Rouge and no shame in turning her nose up at her fellow brides.
Another interesting twist is that during the premier of each new show, viewers can log onto the Living TV website and rate the weddings themselves and also chat with each other and compare notes on the weddings. Its interesting to see how the viewer's opinions often differ with the brides.
Four Weddings airs on Living TV at 9PM on Monday nights. You can check out the website here.
