OH dear


It's been weeks since I've done anything on this blog. And now I'm feeling overwhelmed about what to write. It's much easier to write daily than to space it out in this way. The last two trips I have taken have been to London and Ireland and then back again to Wales. I can in no way sum these trips up in a little blog post. So instead, I will list a select number of interesting happenings that occurred on these trips.
-Dave drove me five hours to get to Stansted airport to meet mom and Hannah. I slept (well I laid on a cold floor hoping to fall asleep) at the airport waiting for my early morning flight. However, in spite of plenty of time to get to the correct gate, I went to the wrong gate and nearly missed my flight. If I had not sprinted like lightning across the entire airport, I would have been a gonner.-Almost had a heart attack as mom drove over a cliff in Ireland on the left side of the road. Her sudden braking and Hannah's gasping wore off as the week went on. Mom can adapt to driving in any situation-Spent hours talking to my mom and Hannah. Endless conversation that will forever be valued and remembered. Piv
-Drank three cups of coffee and ate breakfast at the same comforting kitchen table every morning as I read my Bible and flew through a book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.
-Laughed at Hannah when she said, "I can make animal noises, but not light saver sounds."
-Prayed with mom for a good half hour
-Explored castles and old homes.
-Drove around a peninsula that was full sights of crashing waves, green mountainside, and sheep.
-Sat in an airport for 12 hours waiting to go from Ireland to London.-Took a bus into London from the airport at 1am. Then roamed the city until I found a cab to take me to the youth hostel that Hannah was at.
-Ate 2-3 cliff bars a day. Drank loads of coffee. Ate at one nice meal a day to counteract all the Cliff Bars.
-Loved every moment with my sister in a city that we have both grown to love
-Hannah is a pro at the underground.
-Talked to girls in our dorm from Argentina, Spain, France, the Caribbean, and Austria.
-Said farewell to Hannah and Heathrow and came back to Wales. One more week left of being around some people that I have grown to love being around.
God has been kind. And will continue to be kind as I come home. Missing home today.
