I've been married a year.






Yes kids, I have been married a year now. I never thought I would be married to such a nice guy. I love him and He tries to do as much as he can. Chris and I had the opportunity to go to London for the weekend. It was nice we got a hotel and made the best of London for two days. It was very hot and muggy while we were there. Riding the tube was almost unbearable. Chris did a very nice job of planning activities that didn't cost much. All the museums and Galleries are basically free. They always have people standing at all entrances point to the donation bucket.

Chris planned for us to have a lovely dinner in China town. It was very good although we were a little rushed. We had to make it to our West End show, WICKED. It was amazing. I was very pleased with the music and our seats were great. Chris also gave me some great gifts. He has made it possible for not only me, but for both of us to go home for Thanksgiving. I'm really excited I think I really do need to make a trip home.

I was employed for about three months but things didn't really work out and I am on the job hunt again. Oh and for the record: I do not nor have I ever hated Jews. (Long story)

I have also been called to be in the Primary Presidency. There have been lots of challenges but I'm really loving the kids. Being new to the ward I don't really know a lot of people but I sure do I like their kids. I have been very impressed when quite a few of them.

Look where your going!

After leaving work today some idiot smashed my driver side mirror. I was so annoyed and had to squeeze my fat self between two cars to get all the bits that fell off so the trusty Kevin could fix it for me. It was very embarrassing. I am really not enjoying driving in the UK. Chris is going to take his drive test on Friday. I hope he does well because I don't know how much more I can take of this. I'm really looking forward to it. I think all I want for my birthday is to for Chris get his licence.

Lifes happenings


At the end of March Chris and I bought a car. Its a 97 Vauxall Corsa. We got it from a lovely family in the ward they were getting a new edition and needed something a bit bigger. Its a nice little ride gets us where we need to be. I've been doing all of the driving Chris is still working on getting his licence. His big test is on May 15 so send him lots of good vibes.

April has been an eventfully month. After 6 months of searching I final
ly have a job. Its for Ifield Medical Practice as a Bank Summarizer and Receptionist. Being on back staff mean I'm just there to cover peoples Holiday or sick leave. I hope that I can make things more perminate. Everyone seems very nice I really like it. I'm still training but I think I will pick things up fairly quick. I'm pretty excited to finally have some money. I think the lord has really been helping to keep my cloths from falling apart, since I've had this job my sh
oes have worn holes in the souls and everything I turn around I have a new whole in a shirt. Its funny how things work.

Chris, Pappy (Chris' Dad) and I went to Hever castle. It was Anne Bolynes childhood home. It was really cool. It had a mote and everything. The garden was really well done all sorts of different plants. Chris and Pappy wanted to flex their male egos and took me on a row boat ride around the lake. There was lots of heckling about who could row the best. Chris just went in circles. It was pretty scary and raining. All and all it was a fun day.
I also had some visitors from across the pond. The lovely and incomparable Silvia Cahan and Barbra Spangler came to see me during their visit touring England. It was so nice it has really changed my attitude about being here. They gave me what I needed. I was really nice to have some mothering.
