Change
I have decided that I want to make this blog less public. If you want to still read my blog please e-mail me and I will send you a invite to respond to. I won't make the change until January just in case no one reads this for a while as I have been so bad at keeping it updated.
Hope everyone is good.

Long time no see
Well, life is definately different now. Our little boy keeps us busy, my time seems to fly by, I can't believe he will be 4 months old soon.
Quick catch up of recent events:
We just got back from England. We were there 2 weeks, which was way too short as we didn't quite manage to fit seeing everyone that we had hoped too.
BUT, we had fish & chips with Tim & Debs, dinner/lunch/day out at the National Railway Museum with Dad & Liz, went to Castle Howard with Mum & Sue, went to oxford to visit the Toppings and the Smalls, had lots of family time when Bob, Marie-Ann and Ben were home (it was short but oh so sweet!), I had a fun night with Cags and Han, we went to the Embassy bowling night, Hannah and I went out for drinks. We also did the usual; wander down to Yarm, walk to Tesco, nip to the Pav for a swift half, go to All Saints for church, quiet drink in the Pot & Glass... all the good stuff that feels normal.
It felt good to be home. And it was nice to see friends who, even though we have long periods of time apart, are still so much a part of who I am. I love the friendships where time doesn't matter, it feels comfortable and normal whenever you see them, even if it's been years or monthes. Elizabeth, Hannah, Debs and Caroline - time doesn't matter with our friendships... THANK YOU!
Here are some pics, enjoy;

Who would have thought
Friday night was a fun night, Joy came over and we watched Deja Vu, it's a good movie, and it was good to find a movie that we all liked.
While we were at the video rental place I also grabbed One Night With The King, it caught my eye as it is based on the story of Esther from the Old Testament. Now I love this story, it goes to show how God can move in miraculous ways, so I was excited to see how well the film portrayed the story. It was an OK movie, they took a couple of liberties to create some drama and also to make it easier to understand for people in our culture that don't know anything about the Persian culture. Anyways, it's not awesome, but it is a good movie to watch.
However, beyond the story itself, I was also drawn to it as on the blurb on the back it said that Luke Goss starred in it. Now for the canadians, I don't know if that name will mean anything or not, I'm not sure if Bros ever made it here, L has no clue who they are but that means NOTHING!
So I sat down to watch the film with L on Saturday night, and lo and behold, yep, it really was Mr 'When, will I, will I be faaamouuuss... I can't answer, I can't answer that'. Interesting choice for Esther's love interest... And I found it highly amusing that he still liked to walk around baring his chest. I almost expected Matt to appear somewhere baring his chest too;-)
