Birthday Bliss

If anyone has ever been too spoiled on their birthday, I think I would qualify this year.
My friends went above and beyond in helping make it a memorable one!


 March 22nd - London day trip with friends
So thankful for the friends who helped me organize this day as well as had the insight to know what I would enjoy seeing and making it all happen.

 

We rode boris bikes in Hyde Park. While we were riding we got caught in a hail storm!
I found it increasingly hilarious as we were being beaten with the hail! Great memories!


March 24th- My Birthday


A lovely friend picked me up and took me out for the morning. We had delicious smoothies and browsed a few stores.
In the evening I had the honour of being joined by a group of friends for dinner at a pub. It was such a blessing to be surrounded by so many amazing people who I now have the privilege of calling friends.


April 26th- Surprise Road Trip for my birthday 

The Jane Austen House Museum

Two of my lovely friends picked me up. Destination unknown. I was truly enjoying every minute of the drive through the lovely countryside. And when we arrived to our destination, I think the smile and excitement came rushing up in a matter of a second. Joyful was how I was for the rest of the day. So beautiful, so quaint, the perfect way to spend a day with friends. Thank you girls!

Words used in England

                                                 Words Composed of letters in various forms, can be some of the most powerful weapons, as well as the most lovely encouragement, that we need to hear, to carry on. Speaking English, you would think that one would find it quite simple to go from one English speaking country to the next. Surprisingly there are many words and expressions that one should really know and understand before entering another country or risk appearing a fool in certain situations. I have to say that people from England, when they speak, make everything sound lovely. They use terms that sound less improper and not so gruff. I think the overall feeling I had was that they sound very well educated and socialized.... and I, well not so much the case....haha Here is a list of words and expression commonly used amoung those in E...

Tea & Life

Tea. A delicious warm drink. Also known in England as a Cuppa.... How I enjoy drinking tea. Truth be told, the frequency of which I partake in this rather common and daily habit for some, is quite diminished as of late. I asked myself why this was, as I was soaking up the moonlit sky, on my rather brisk walk this evening. Tea.  Warm, comforting and even more delicious accompanied by scones, clotted cream & jam.... just saying. Of an evening with my Aunt, watching various British period programs,we have been known to consume at least 3 very, very, large pots of tea. My ability to drink tea is rather astonishing. Yet the kettle seldom used and the tea gone more untouched as of late. Why?                                                                               ...

A watch is always too fast or too slow.

'Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.' -Mansfield Park                    -Jane Austen  One month ago I stepped onto British soil. I had no idea what to expect when I walked through the arrival gate. Leaving everything I knew behind; the comfort and peace that comes with familiarity, family, friends, my own car and independence was chucked out the window. I had to breath deep and pray it was going to be all worth it. Without a doubt I can say this decision was the right one, no matter what lack of sleep, introverted time and 'control' (not having my car :/ ) may suggest to me was a foolish decision, I know that the friends, experiences, growth in maturity and serving God this year will provide me with enough sweet to help with the bitter taste leaving home brought.  Thank you to all of you who helped me make this very difficult and amazing choice.
