I miss England

So, for the last two weeks, my husband and I have been in England. We went over because Brian had a wedding that he shot, but it was so much more than just a working vacation. It didn't even feel like we went there for a wedding. That part of it went so fast and seemed so insignificant in the light of everything else that we did.

Not that it was a bad wedding, not that he didn't get lots of good shots, it's just that last time we were there we were so close to Simon and Lottie that it really was about the wedding, and then we went home right afterward, whereas this time, we had a week before and a week after to just enjoy ourselves and meet new people and see new places. It was absolutely amazing! We went to London, Dorking, Cardiff, Taunton, Exeter, Wellington, Lynton and Lynmouth, the Quintox, Hawk something Reservoir, and Bath. It truly was an amazing experience!

I miss my girls, though. They've been in Atlanta for the last 2 weeks. I really miss them. I'm going to go get them in just a few minutes. Did I mention that I miss them? Harmony is saying words and Sommer is fully potty trained. They are growing up so fast, and I feel like I'm missing it. Soon I will see them, though. I'm pumping right now, hoping to get my milk back up from where I let it get down so that we could go out during the day and not have to worry about lugging the pump around. Hopefully that helps.

I need to unpack so badly. I did the laundry that was left over. I was hoping to unpack and put away the dirty clothes, but I walked to Starbucks instead. That was good, though. I'm glad that I did it. I feel like I needed the exercise and I needed the time to just think and dream and pray. So much of my mind is still on England. I'm trying really hard not to fall into the trap of trying to go back. It was a great trip. We made so many friends. But now we're back here. We're where God has us right now. I need to be content. God will provide everything that we need.

¹²I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
