here i am

so, i'm obviously back...really wanted to post loads of pictures with all kinds of fascinating captions, but they were taking too long and they're all sort of jumbled which is kind of the way my brain is feeling, seeing as it's 11.00pm, but my body thinks its 7.00am. plus i've just had a full work day.

HOWEVER, we had a SUPER FANTASTIC holiday and, though not what i would call restful, it definitely was fun and exciting. i could honestly post a long blog about each day that we were there...there wasn't a single day that we didn't do SOMETHING. we had gorgeous weather, though a little cold in scotland. i never quite got over all of the flowers bursting everywhere in england and the cutest little baby lambs prancing about in nearly every other field. we got to hang with my sister for a few days, which was very fun. in scotland we saw perth and dundee and st. andrews (we ran along the beach where chariots of fire was filmed) and stirling and lots and lots of edinburgh. in england we saw newcastle (had a pint of newcastle in a pub there) and sheffield (where josh preached easter evening) and york and thirsk (where we stayed, home of james harriet the vet) and jedburgh (got to see mary queen of scots house) and carnforth, home of capernwray hall where we met. we ate fish and chips and deep fried snickers and blood pudding and scones with cream and full english breakfasts and i even tried haggis and didn't mind it too much.

that's kind of my trip in a nutshell, but i hope to post more pictures and detail in the near future. right now it feels so good to be home. i adore our bed. i'm fading away quickly now, but am really dying to get started on catching up on blog reading. 2 weeks without a computer, hmmmm...that will translate into about a month of blog reading in order to catch up...better get started!
