Just Life

On our way back from Madrid we were talking about how nice it would be to finally get home and sleep in our bed... at which point we realized... we are beginning to feel more settled in our flat and in our lives here in London.

This is the door to our flat.

We spend most of our time doing things that we would do back home... grocery shopping, going to the gym, cooking at home and going to bookstores.

We walk or take the tube everywhere and are finding that we don't really miss having cars.

(Annoying Americans on the tube!)

We are slowly figuring out how to book the best tickets and find the hidden treasures. As we now have a working bank account we are able to book fun events and start having the experience that we came here to have.

(We actually got rained out this evening but we were dressed to impress and ready to hit the town!!! Baby steps...)

We still miss family and friends more than we'd like to admit. We feel like we should be strong enough to spend a year a way and yet sometimes panic strikes our hearts as we realize just how truly alone we are in this thriving metropolis! We're doing a great job supporting each other but we are also learning just how important fellowship and family are! As we learn to rely on each other while we are here, we are able to reflect on all of the love and support that we have received from those who love us. If you read this blog its likely that we are talking about you so THANK YOU. We are keenly aware of how much we need you in our lives!
