Oh England...

Well, much has happened in the last little while! Donovan got a job for next year, which is fantastic, and on Tuesday of this week he got a call from our agent and he got work for Donovan for the rest of year! True, Donovan has to commute to London everyday (which is slighty insane) but, it doesn't matter! Because, God is providing for us like we knew he would and all we can do is be greatful and uber thankful!!!!


In other news, my mother panicked when she heard that Air Transat flight attendents might be going on strike so she moved her and my sisters dates to come over so they are coming July 16th-August 18th with my Dad joining us on July 5th. I am so incredibly excited and I just can't wait!!!! We will be going to the Lake District for a week and along with that we will be seeing many wonderful things!!

Yesterday I had a nice long chat with my wonderful sister-in-law Sarah and we were chatting about how hard it is not to procrastinate about the things you know you have to do but you really don't want to do. Like housework, excersising, eating healthy, devotions. Those four things are things I know I need to do everyday but I always try to put it off with procrastination! So, I have been trying really hard lately not to procrastinate the last couple of weeks. It is really hard but I just pray and push through.

When we first got here and Donovan worked every day we got up together, ate breakfast together, did a devotion together, then he would leave I would get dressed, tidy up Breakfast dishes do a devotion then either read or stretch or go for a walk or sometimes watch something but now that is all we do! Watch TV. Somedays I just want to delete all movies we have on the laptop. Yesterday when Donovan left I ended up going back to bed and didn't get a whole lot done. Two loads of laundry and one load of dishes and of course, supper.

This morning was a different story and I want every day to be like this! I felt like I was ready to conquer the world. I woke up with Donovan, ate breakfast, he left I did some computer things and around 6am I put on some music did yoga, ballet, and some weights, then I went for a nice brisk walk was done at 7:30am had a shower, then I moved the laptop to the bedroom and put away all of those clothes that I hate putting away, did another load of laundry, made the bed and the bedroom was clean! After that was done I did a hour of reading my Bible, praying and meditating. It has been a good day. So, now it is 4:18pm and I am off to finish up the dishes and plan supper. I ask for prayers as I try to stick to my routine and my goals that I set for myself. It can be so hard to break old habits and that is what I am attempting to do. :)

Praise the Lord!

Well, things are slowly progressing and prayers are being answered and life is coming together! On Monday (June 13) Donovan had to go down to Maidstone, Kent for 2 interviews, he left at 5:30am and didn't get home until 9:30pm. Then on Tuesday (June 14) he had to go to Sandy, Bedfordshire for 8:30am which meant that he to be up at 3:30am because he had to walk to the train station because no buses run until 5:45ish. He got home at 2:45pm and told me that the interview went very well and that they offered him the job on the spot and he accepted it! So, we will be moving to Sandy, Bedfordshire (or area) at the end of August! Donovan will be teaching History and English to mainly year 9 and 10's and maybe some 11's. He is very excited to be able to have his own classroom and he is already full of idea's on how to set it up. The contract is for a full year but if we want to the school is willing for us to stay longer. So, we are leaving it in God's hands and His will to be done!

In other news we are both still not really working so we don't have a lot of money to get us through till September, so please pray that we will be able to find some part-time summer work. Other then this not a whole lot is going on! I will try to write a longer update in the next couple of days...but for now, this is all I've got! (It isn't even 8 in the morning yet....not quite alive, and with no coffee in my system yet.) Must get coffee then I will write more!
