Furthermore

Hello all! I apologize for waiting so long to write an update. We still do not have internet access in our new home but despite that it is coming along very well indeed. Last week K and I stormed IKEA with Ruth to find some homey accents for the new pad. ‘We have to put them together ourselves, but it costs less!'

A couple weeks ago Mandy, Kristen’s old roomie, came to visit us. She and K travelled for awhile and then returned to Bradford. Mandy even came on the church retreat with us. We stayed at a Christian hotel called Thornleigh in the town of Grange-Over-Sands, just at the bottom of the Lake District. It was so quaint and such beautiful countryside up there by the sea. I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had with the congregation. The weekend was full of playing games and sharing talents and of course exploring the Bible. Aces.

Next week Kristen gets to go home to America! I am quite envious. I told her to remember everything and to bring me back a burger and Root Beer from Wendy’s. We’ll see how much loves me.

In just two weeks my family comes!!! I am stoked. I keep thinking about all the places I fancy taking them and all the things I want to show them. These next couple weeks will probably be the slowest of my life. I can’t wait!
