What can I say about week 2? Things have really settled this week! I am working less during the day and venturing out much more! I worked mostly M-Th, but then had Friday morning off! I decided Friday morning I would head over to the city center to see some of the sites. Sadly I won't be able to post pics besides on Instagram, twitter and Facebook due to me only having the IPhone and IPad. So keep bugging Drew and eventually he can add pics of things happening here! It really was beautiful, the stained glass was breath taking and sheer size of the place blew me away! It was very peaceful but was missing something! Particularly that something that I feel when I walk into Church on Sunday and when I enter an LDS Temple! Afterwards I walked across the street and ate lunch at a little Bagel Cafe! I then worked Saturday which was very fun! We took the kids to an indoor play place called 'Mookie World' all based around cows! It was very enjoyable! Sunday was another day at Church which was exactly what I needed! The people have all been wonderful and I am excited to go back each week!!! I also had Monday off but a lot of the weekend was spent buying and organizing things for our Apt. I am happy to say we are almost 100% settled and I am ready for Drew to come join me! A few funny stories, I was coming back to our apt to eat some lunch one day and I walked into the kitchen and there was a gentlemen laying on the kitchen floor. I first thought, am I in the right apartment, and then he said, this is quite an abnormal way to meet but I am here to fix your dishwasher. Then he stood up and we talked for a good while until I had to get back to work! Everyone out here has something very important to say, or they make it seem that way! My driving is getting better, until I get to a junction or intersection, mostly when it is a round about! I expect to get honked at or a finger thrown. I am still working on that flag! And last a lot of people try and guess where I am from, these are some of the guesses. Canada, Wyoming, and one gentlemen said I sounded Irish? Little did he know, I have a slight problem taking on someone's accent the more I am around them! I am really still enjoying my time out here! I have moments of home sickness but as soon as I get working I am fine! I think about, miss, and love you all so much and look forward to coming home and being back with family and friends! Hope all is well back home!!! Until next week!

You're brave. I bet it's so hard to be away, but it sounds like you're making the best of it. Keep working on your Irish accent!
You do a pretty RAD British accent, so I wouldn't be surprised if that guy thought you had an Irish accent. Oh boy, I do miss the little thing your mouth does when you speak in a British accent. Wow. I think that I now sound like your lover or something. Ha! Ha! I miss you, Champ!!!
