I love when company's take part in charity work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last Friday at work was Wear It Pink Day in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone had to wear something pink or pay money towards the donations for breast cancer research.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also had a bake sale. Different colleagues baked desserts that were sold at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
work during the morning, all proceeds going toward breast cancer research.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was also a raffle, in which you could win anything from a bottle of wine to spa treatments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again all proceeds going to breast cancer research. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a fun day. Here are the many looks from work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Wear It Pink Day.</div>

It's been a little while since I posted. </div>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So I'm here to catch you up on what has been going on across the pond.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery'; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I got a job. I started work on the 18th of October. I work for Anglian Water. I love my commute!!</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery'; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I take the bus or I walk. Taking the bus takes exactly 10 minutes.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery'; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This includes walking to the bus stop, getting on the bus and walking</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery'; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
to my building from the bus stop. I walk home sometimes, depending on the weather, that takes about 30 minutes. The scenery is worth the walk.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery'; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This is what I see:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
However this time I used public transportation and my great memory oh and google maps</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank the good Lord for Google maps, it helped me get on the right bus and wait at the right stop, ahhhhhmazing....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to venture out and get my hair done...lol yes I know I have no job but I'm still getting my hair done. I gotta be ready at a moments notice for an interview duh!!</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this week brought on a new adventure:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taking public transportation in a strange land</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Monday I had an appointment to open a bank account, yes I had an appointment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It apparently takes an hour to open one here and they ask you all sorts of questions about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your life to figure out which account is right for you. I won't complain however because this is the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
only bank out of the five I visited last Friday that would let me open an account with them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with an expired passport. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After what seemed like forever, I eventually got an account. Upon exiting the bank, I see a man being carted away on a stretcher into an ambulance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I tried to take a picture, but the Lord opened the heavens and it began to rain. I can't get my hair wet so needless to say I had to forfeit the picture in order to protect my hair...lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This led to walking the mall to hide from the rain, which led to going home cause I had no money </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to purchase all the lovely things I saw.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I took the bus home. I was excited!! For the first time in ages I was taking the BUS!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yea I know, who gets excited about public transportation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I DO!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in a strange land and I could have gotten lost or gotten on the wrong bus or gotten off at the wrong stop. All those things made it exciting to ride the bus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway I didn't get lost, I didn't get on the wrong bus, I got off at the right stop and a strange led me home without even knowing it. (She probably thought I was trying to rob her or something, I am pretty sure I saw her clutch her purse)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
P.S. Yesterday I found one these:
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">thy don't use them anymore...boooo<br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Unfortunately I couldn't go inside because it was locked and the phone removed from it.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are hard to find these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More adventures await. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned!!</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today was my first Sunday at my <strike>new </strike>possibly new church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was interesting. Needless to say, there's no place like home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This church is small, and by small I mean small. Our mid-week service is larger than this church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The music is nothing like home. However I could feel the presence of God. Even through the flat and off key notes....lol forgive me Lord.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure if I will be making this "home", but I've decided to give them another try next Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have a special service next Sunday, it's their 5 year anniversary. So they are having a guest speaker that I have heard about from back home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do love the new commute however.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gone from an hour drive one way to 15 minutes round trip.....Gloray!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be on the look out and prayerfully seeking another church that is Apostolic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a sweeter note I tried my hand at making another bourbon apple crisp.<br />
I had to convert most of the measurements to Imperial units. Thank goodness for an ipad and Google.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It turned out yummy. However next time I'll scoop more of the "juice" in with the apples before baking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all I had a great day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, against my better judgement, I decided to take the advise of a dear friend and start a blog on my new adventure. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I FINALLY DID IT!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I packed up all my belongings and moved </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strike>across the pond</strike></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> back to England. It was one of the most scariest decisions I've every made. So far it's been exciting.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here's a rundown of my first few days:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've had drama with my barrel (long story short I was not about to pay FedEx $1100 to ship it).</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Almost kissed a perfect stranger on the forehead, it happened to be a woman. That song "I Kissed a Girl" came to mind. I definitely wouldn't have liked it...lol </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I left all most of my shoes in Virginia, praying that they'll get here before I have to repeat shoes at my new church. Can't have that...lol</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I landed in Iceland early Wednesday morning to this gorgeous view below. We were praying that our flight would have been delayed by hours so we could tour the blue lagoons I'v heard so much about. Oh well just have to put that on my list of places to travel to.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I almost got denied entry into the country because of my passport. (my heart skipped a beat) I didn't have how long I would be staying written on my immigration form. I then had to be escorted to the baggage claim to get my expired British passport from my dad. I was allowed in after that.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've tried to open a bank account here in the UK, to no avail. I tried five banks and they all denied me except one. I should have renewed my passport before I left the United States.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a possible job interview coming up next week, prayerfully.</span></div>
