Mr. Darcy? So, I'm so glad you are having so much fun. I knew this adventure would be a wonderful experience for you. Things are frustrating when you have to depend on public transportation. Did you get a phone yet? That makes life a little easier. So, all these new friends---I see there are a few of the male gender. Any of them prospective candidates to fill the role as your Mark Darcy?
The Song Hey, It's "California Dreamin'." Queen Latifah covered it on the Dana Owens CD. You really MUST not spread mis-information across cyberspace!!
by the way... since it is one of my favorite montha, have you been to any haunted places? perhaps all of england is haunted (too much bloody history, and i mean bloody in the red liquid sense). let me know of your adventures!
you crazy girl, you have been mighty busy. your independent spirit is amazing! i am exhausted by just hearing about your many bus trips to move. holy crap! regular moving is hard enough. good for you. happy IKEA. it is fun there and a bit over-stimulating. how's work?
hello! So, does every child at Sure Start get speech? Glad to hear you are taking it all in stride, or at least that's how you've made your blogs sound. Very cool that you have American neighbors to bond with as well as international folks you can learn from too. Have you moved yet? Been into London yet? Keep havin' fun!
Jealous Mary,
Have I told you that I am jealous of your abroad adventures...If I haven't told you already, I am. It sounds like you're really getting settled and seems like fun. How far is Bristol from where you live? I met someone from there and was just curious. Everything looks and sounds beautiful. Well keep on truckin'...oh yeah, you aren't going to see 95 kids in 2.5 days, that's IMPOSSIBLE...but you can try. Anyway I look forward to hearing more of your wonderful stories.

Well, all is sounding wonderful. You are having adventures and living a dream. I continue to teach during the day and dream about these kids at night!! Not very glamorous!!
WOW Mary,
How exciting to have a new adventure. I am glad you made it over the "pond" safely. Sounds as if you are settling in nicely. Take care!

adjusting It seems as if you're adjusting really well...already moving and you haven't even been there a month! I'm so glad that you have some instinctive survivor skills...I don't know if I would have made it. I hope you enjoy your job, I'm sure it will be more interesting than our public school system jobs here! Well have a wonderful day.

This is a wonderful way to travel vicariously! Mary, I am really enjoying all your updates from jolly old England...you need to save them all and write a novel!!!
hello It sounds like you are having an amazing time. I like the pictures, it feels like I am there with you. I hope you continue to have a blessed time. Love You, Wendi
I have a "mobile" that you can have. Hey girl! I feel like I'm stolling the streets with you...your pictures are wonderful! I have a Motorola flip cell phone in excellent shape that you can have. My son Matt is now employed with Alltel, and I just bought the newest and latest, so I have a spare now. It's yours if you want it. Just email me your address and I'll be glad to send it to you asap. Cheerio, mate.
A friend in England Looks like you are having a wonderful time! I have a friend of our family living in England with her husband and kiddos on military assignment. If you are interested in her name/email/number just let me know. Have a great time exploring!
you are a very adventurous soul. i admire what you are doing. i am very proud of you. i hope you meet a delicious man there. afterall, it is the home of 007.
cheers!

I don't know how in the world you've figured out everything that you have!! What a world traveler!!!We miss you at JG.....just doesn't seem the same without you. Glad it stopped raining!
I am glad to see that you are enjoying your jobs. Everything is so different than here, which makes such a great experience. My new job is starting to come together. It is still killing me to get up so early (being as I have to be to Westerville by 6:30 am) but I am starting to really like the researching that I am doing. My new quarter starts next week, and I think my classes are going to be good--criminal law, admin law, abnormal psych and an advanced computer course. At least I will stay busy. I can't wait to see the pictures that you have taken. Take care, and let me know when you have a phone number I can call you at. Talk to you soon!!!!!!
60 days Well just as a little tidbit...IDEA has revised itself once again...now there is only 60 days from referral to placement. So their system (or your new system) really sounds crazy compared to ours now. I hope you're having a blast. Keep in touch, I love hearing your stories.
