Oh Canada!

Well as you may know already, Ronnie and I are returning to Canada- for a visit. I've found it funny how many people have mistaken this as returning to Canada for good! NO. We are enjoying England and believe very much that that is where we are to be at this season of our lives. Another common question is " is everything alright with the baby or with you guys?" The answer is " Everything is very well. No problems." Well no problems other than needing to increase our financial support as my job situation (that is me not having a job) is only complicated by being pregnant. So our trip will be a quick one while together. (I am actually already in Canada at my parents in BC sharing the excitement with my family of our future newborn miracle. While Ronnie remains in the UK with work and will be going to Romania for a week early this coming week.) So once Ronnie and I have reunited in Canada, our hope is to meet up with as many of you as possible, but hope you will understand that our time is very limited and spread in a few different directions, so we appologize if we miss seeing you or if our time together is brief. I must end with saying how blessed I've been by the crisp firey bright fall leaves, the incredibly fresh fall air, the warm glowing Okanagan sunshine, the fabulous taste of turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, the finally fulfilled pregnancy craving of Kraft Dinner (you can't get it in the UK), the wide north american roads, the beautiful lake, my beloved dog Buddy, pepperoni sticks, overall great food and the BEST of course: old friends and family. I am so proud to be Canadian.

hey my proud canadian friend,
i am finally online, in slovakia. spain was amazing!! i am definitely going back. fell in love with madrid and spanish culture. and the leaders at the conference were so much fun to work with. but i still do remain a proud slovak, no worries. so we're here now, finalising our mortgage. it should all go through by tomorrow. back in the uk on saturday. what a crazy travel schedule though. we spent all of tuesday in cars, buses and planes (no trains, thankfully.) mia decided she didn't really want her morning milk after all (this was in the car, after she drank it an hour earlier!) while we were stuck in a 2-hour traffic jam!! so yeah, fun times.

and you??! sounds like you are having an awesome time, which was expected anyway. i am so glad i'll get a few days in canada, too. but i can't wait to see you. miss you loads. so what are you spending your days on? and how's baby? are you feeling good now? have you done any bargain shopping? (that's what i look forward to.) you must just be loving every minute there. say hi to your mom for us. and enjoy it all fully!

love ya, anna
