A few more pics

Here are just a few pics of a weekend in London with the lovely Julia, Sam's older sister. We got hissed at by the those Canada geese below. And they stuck out their goose tongues at us. But, I got to see a black swan, which was so beautiful; I'd never seen one of those before. St James's Park is the one which we are strolling through. It was a gorgeous day, and there were Londoners and tourists alike enjoying the park and having a stroll. After the park, we went to the theatre (sic) to see Billy Elliott, which was highly entertaining. My second live professional musical experience. Although the UCO man-pig a-tonal opera I saw one time featuring Cammy as a man-pig was could have passed as one. OH WAIT. Anyways, the time is truly flying, and Sam is getting a bit wound up because of all he has to do before he comes back. But, we will figure it out. We have been working through a book called 'Money Before Marriage' by Larry Burkett, and it has been very good. We have not yet made it through the 'figure out your personality' part, but that has been very useful so far, and interesting. I'm looking forward to setting up our budget, and I was very pleased to be able to use some of our excess money this month to support M13, a youth project in urban Manchester which is helping clean up the council estates, which are like projects, by just getting the know the youths in the area, loving them, and giving them the means to direct their energies positively, all the time showing them the love of Christ. They unfortunately don't have a web site, but they are an awesome ministry. The last bit of news I have is that I finally finished knitting the Kyoto sweater!! It is now blocked and drying in my room, waiting to be seamed up. So exciting! My first big project. So, yes, only 7 more days until we fly back home. They shall fly as well.
