Busy Bee!

Time is flying!! I cannot believe its October already.  We're only one week away from our 6 month mark.  Hard to believe.

Since arriving back to London on September 1st, I have been crazy busy in an attempt to truly make a life here.  No more putzing around.  I hit the ground running and I haven't stopped.

I updated my resume, wrote a cover letter, and got a job!!  I'm now volunteering Tuesdays and Wednesdays :)
I had lunch, drinks, and/or dinner with FIVE new friends!  We joined a new church and have met so many wonderful people.  We've been to a soccer game (Chelsea vs Fulham) and a football game (Vikings vs Steelers).  We had fun dinners out with great friends.  I went to a James Blunt show with MH.  We've had football BBQs at our flat.  And we have hosted 3 wonderful guests (and quite a few friends who dropped by while here for work).

Life is good.

Moving to London wasn't the easiest transition for us for obvious reasons.  It has surely been an emotional journey with ups and downs.  It has taken a lot of hard work to acclimate to this new city.  But, I can say (with a smile on my face) that I am absolutely loving the life we have made for ourselves here.  So much so, that I'm surely going to miss it whenever it's time for us to leave.

This is not to say that I don't miss our family and friends and New York City.  I do.  In a desperate kind of way.  But, I've made the choice to be happy here despite my longing to be "home."  So far it's working.  Prayers are welcomed.
