Hello Internet!!
I said I'd update more often and I feel myself slipping and not updating so here is the good news...
Good News #1 - I got a job. It is at a day care right here in the town that I live! I got offered part time or full time work, but I choose part time so I can still be a happy housewife some of the time. I start next week and I am already thinking of all the ways I am going to confuse those poor English children. I will be working with the toddlers - children just learning to talk. I have tried since I have been here to keep using my "American" words, but I don't think I will be able to with them, for example:
American -
"After you are done with those cookies could you please throw the trash in the garbage can and then go lay in your crib for a nap - thank you."
English -
"After you are done with that biscuit could you please throw the rubbish in the bin and then go lay in your cot for a kip - ta."
I can see it now 10 toddlers with eyes wide open looking at me like I am speaking another language - because, well, I am!
Good News #2 - As if getting a new job wasn't enough, I have decided to go to school at the same University Chris is working through, and am taking 2 classes. It is nice to do school when, one, I want to, and two, I get to pick my classes. Because Chris has had everything paid for through financial support, we are thinking I will too! So I have to wait and see but 'Watch this Space' and hopefully that will work out too... oh yeah, the courses are 'Creative Writing and a Music class. What more could I ask for? Writing and music - this is a school they MUST have in heaven.
Good News #3 - Speaking of Heaven.... this last Saturday was me and Chris' 1 Year Anniversary! We made it, sometimes I thought we wouldnt but, I am so pleased that we have, and I am looking forward to more and more years with him!!!
So there is the update.... Keep posted and check out the weekend pictures... with more snaps of - Bella the Car and our Crazy Bank Holiday Weather!
