a few of the silver linings

For a more positive perspective of England.
The people have truly been so helpful and friendly. The ward has really been great, getting us linens and they have had us over for dinner and have been very friendly.
Even the people just walking around, with us looking for help have been really great.
The weather is quite pleasant after leaving the humid south. It has a chilly beeze almost all of the time, but it is refreshing
We found out of a couple refunds that are coming through all of these trials, 1st Milo with Fedex not guaranteed dropoff and we are getting a refund for the kids VISAS that were sent to NY on accident.
Also we lost a tiny chip for the mouse that works on the laptops so we thought we would have to buy another $40 mouse and chip, but I just found it today... yeah!!!
We have been able to go to the coast and it is beautiful.

We are getting WiFi in 2 weeks and with that international calling also.
we have an IKEA
We figured out how to play the UK DVDs on our computers
Things are coming along
Thanks for your prayers and such!!

Analee, I am sorry about everything you are going through. Studying abroad is supposed to be fun, not a trial! UGG! I hope the next nine months gets better for you. It will pay off in the long run! I never asked, what kind of medicine does your husband want to do? Good luck. I like hearing about your adventure!

Yeah for all those good things. I am so happy to finally hear something good. I hope it just gets better. It is gorgeous there. Wow what a treat to have such beautiful surroundings.

Finally some GOOD news! The coast looks really beautiful. Is that a lighthouse on a pier? How far is this from your apartment? Did you go there by transit? I'm glad you got that great stroller. I imagine that is has really been a lifesaver.

How much more do you have to go through? One after the other....maybe it's just our fault. Maybe we are the weak link and just aren't praying hard enough for you. Those are some beautiful pictures of the countryside. We sure are going to miss you at the Woolly Worm festival this year.
