I decided to take a little afternoon trip to a cute town called Market Harborough-- another little adventure. It was so cute! So, I thought I'd share...
Above: The street by the bus station...
Below: One of the many cute boutiques I browsed...
I couldn't take a picture downstairs b/c the owner was right there...
So I sneakily took a picture upstairs of this shop that SCREAMED Aunt Terri! It had feathers and funky little knic-knacks and Bling... etc. It was beautiful... So here's a tribute to my aunt.
A Starbucks! But, I went to another little cafe as an attempt to un-Americanize while I'm here.
The next 2 weeks is ALOT of working ahead-- papers reading etc. So, hanging around here getting the school part of my time accomplished!
Another street w/ a big beautiful church on it.

The countryside on the 40 min bus ride back. Beautiful
(I used Picnik.com to edit these to add a little pizaz! SO fun to edit things on there! Makes anyone look like a pro...)
Some upcoming events-
The next 2 weeks is ALOT of working ahead-- papers reading etc. So, hanging around here getting the school part of my time accomplished!
2 weeks away is PARIS! I'm going on a tour and it will be a whirlwind trip, but will be amazing!
3 weeks away Kevin is coming!!! A couple weeks ago he shared that he believes his time w/ track is over (yes... very big decision for him!) and so now we are enjoying the perk of his freedom to come see me, thanks to his amazing parents! We finilized travel plans this week-- Iverness, Scotland (The Loch Ness place:) and Tuscany, Italy (Pisa, Florence, etc). I think it will be a great trip!
I would love prayer for our time together. We're very excited about it! It's been a rough few months so the 'get away' should be nice and refeshing. I believe God has laid on my heart to ask for us to be intentional on this thought:
"Purity of heart is to will one thing" -- Soren Kierkegaard.
I think it is making its way into my mind daily, and believe especially for our trip, it's a great thought to dwell on, a combined single-mindedness on Him while we enjoy all these beautiful places He made and enjoy each other, allowing our time to be beneficial time together. We're VERY excited to say the least! Many adventures to come!
4 Weeks away, I'm off to Rome.
5 Weeks away to Spain to see Chels and Sarah! YAY!
And I'll leave you with a funny little discovery--
Sometimes for a part of my lunch, I eat a few spoolfuls of Peanut Butter (Since bread gets moldy before I can eat it)-- ya know good protein, filling etc.-- BUT I have found this profound disadvantage.
eating peanut butter by the spoonful gives you hiccups! and mine last for like 20 minutes!
Just thought I'd share--
Love you all.
