hey ho - a bad string of hotels in Europe meant no posts, but as they're all pretty mad from me I'm sure nobody missed them.

I'm now at home, going to come to KY tomorrow and I can't wait. It's really hard being away from the girl you love, and I think we deal with it pretty well all things considered. There's nothing that beats actually seeing each other though.

Plans for the weddings are really hotting up; I've nearly finished all the bookings for England, and luckily there's a wedding fair in Cambridge on the weekend which Steph has here (how chancy is that?!) so we should be able to finalise things then. I'm so excited about it all, but it'll just be great to be married and living together. I know I've said it before, but I really appreciate the sacrifice Steph is making to come and live in a strange country with me, and I hope I can repay that faith by making her life as happy as possible.

I'll need some advice about various places on this next tour, as I've not been to many of them. The biggest new shock is Salt Lake City, but Steph will be there to hold my hand so we should be ok! As well as that, we're going to:

Princeton NJ, Storrs, CT, Oberlin OH, Glen Ellyn IL, Saginaw MI, Jonesboro AK, Green Bay WI, Milwaukee WI, Calgary (Alberta, Canada), Columbia MO, Lees Summit MO, and finishing in Cincy on 26 Feb.

Any advice for that lot?
