an update of life.

so now that you've all seen my house, it's time for a little update about life in the uk.

i started my job at starbucks about 4 weeks ago.  i can hardly believe it's been that long since i've moved.  (almost 2 months since i got married too!  where does the time go?)  i'm currently working on finding a new job.  while i am so incredibly grateful that God has provided me with this job for income and adjustment purposes, i am feeling the need to do something greater with my life than serve people coffee. (so if you think about it, send up a prayer for me!)

simon is finishing up at uni--he's taking his last exam as i'm writing this.  he graduates next month and we just found out today that he starts his first real job on july 1st with an international market research company in oxford.  i'm so proud of him!  :)  so over the next few months we will decide if we are going to stay put in guildford or make the move to oxford. 

we have developed a loving relationship with a neighborhood cat we call popeye.  (sorry if the following picture is quite gruesome.)  he/she(?) is missing an eye, which i'm sure is just a battle wound from the mean gray cat that roams about, but is really sweet and so we loveitandhugitandsqueezeitandfeedit.

okay, you get the point.

in a couple of weeks, we are heading to tuscany to have a proper honeymoon.  i can hardly wait.  

ahhh...doesn't this look amazing?!

the summer is finally upon us (minus a couple of really cold days here and there) and i'm getting excited for a beach trip to west wittering that simon and i have planned on our day off together next week.  

we have recently discovered this amazing pairing...

...and are hoping to have a housewarming/cheese and wine party in the near future.

so that's my life basically.  

and here's a sneak peek of my next post:

i made this happen.  well.  and God and the sunshine and the water.  but whatever.
