Being in England is somewhat like being a detective. There are so many things that are spelled or named differently. But being a detective is fun! I solve mysteries everyday! I added some pictures to help you all understand. :) I even solved a mystery while writing this post! I kept hearing banging noises that sounded like fire works. Then I started SEEING fire works but had no idea why. I enjoyed watching the fire works with the lights out with my family, I mean who would complain? But I had to know why?! I did some research and found it is an Indian holiday called Diwali!
We love being in England. Though I think the sweet lady downstairs was right to say to me after seeing my enthusiasm for the fact that they were going to build an ice rink across the street for Christmas, "oh sweetie, you must be lonely." I don't miss anything much about America, other than the people. I want to be with my sweet precious friend on bed rest, and my sweet friend Leannie as she plans her wedding. But I am thankful to be where the Lord has us.
Victoria is sleeping better and has our neighbor lady wrapped around her finger. We have decided to go and visit daily. :) Drew continues to love teaching Hebrew and studying. He is living his dream life! :) We just hope to get him a desk soon. After making a huge order on Ikea we found out they will deliver to us in about a month. lol! We had no idea it would take so long. I guess we didn't learn our lesson with the month long wait for Internet. With no desk, Drew uses the table. So at every meal I bring out the plates and he tries to shove his books over to make room. So we eat praying our cups of water won't spill onto Drew's computer and Victoria won't blow raspberries with a mouthful of baby food and cover Drew's library book with sweet potato and baby drool. :)
We love our apartment (video to follow soon, sorry it is taking me so long Janel), we love our neighborhood, and we love our church! Things are going well for us!
This post's question is this. Can anyone tell me about Diwali?
