We've Got Mail

We got our first piece of mail in Henley all the way from the US today! My aunt, Tyler, and baby Max showed up at our door and brightened our day. Thank you for thinking of us, Lamb family! We miss you guys.

After spending most of the day on the phone trying to negotiate gas and electric prices (so weird!), I got to spend a good amount of time chatting with our good friend Sandi on Skype. Not that Sandi is "improper" in any way whatsoever, but our easy conversation was a reminder that I have yet to find a relationship similar to it over here in the UK...everyone is so...proper! It felt good being loud and dramatic, laugh with my mouth wide open, and say things like "heck" and "seriously?!" I love you, Sandi--seriously!!

Well, we won't be traveling anywhere this weekend, but it's for a good reason--Audrey's been invited to two birthday parties! I usually wouldn't be this excited about a weekend filled with sugared-up kids, but I'm happy for Audrey to build relationships and for Stegen and I to work on some too. I've had quite a few "mum dates" so far and some more scheduled for the new year--hopefully I don't let my cackle slip!
