It's been too long since I've updated the world on my England adventure, so I thought now was a good time!
The last couple weeks have been a bit hectic as I was super busy trying to get everything in line to go on vacation! It was an amazing vacation as well! My parents came to visit for 2 weeks and we showed them our local area and traveled out towards the country to show them beautiful old villages as well as some castles! From there, we ventured up and around Scotland which I must say, was equally as amazing and beautiful! From the Highlands to Loch Ness, It was just like out of the movies! We had pictures taken with a bagpiper who has played in New Yorks Macy's Day Parade (Compliments of Shaun Connery apparently!), we awed and dreamt what life would be like in Donan Castle and we were even kings, queens, prince and princesses in our own over night castle stay at Tullock Castle! It was an amazing experience and I'm just constantly reminded how lucky...No blessed! To be able to see and experience the things I'm taking in!
Walking through vast portions of history, I touched walls wondering who or what greatness had touched these same walls before. I imagined life being hard work, but more simple. I like that. Life is so complicated and filled with the clutter of electronics, and life focuses being around money and things! I'm learning more and more each day that it's not what you have, but who you share it with, who you share your life with! Things come and go, fade and crumble like Hadrian's Wall after elements and wars...But what you can take with you is love, memories and if your still lucky, people you treasure the most.
Coming up in the next few weeks (just in case I get tied up and don't write for a little while!) is packing and moving to hopefully a new house! (Just renting!) We are currently looking for a bigger place to rent to accomodate all of us (ha!) but we are eyeing a specific place that I'm dying to tour! (Waiting for the agent to call us back!). Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Love you all and hope that life is being kind!
"Looking back at the road so far The journey's left it's share of scars. Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight. Looking back it is clear to me, that a man is more than the sum of his deeds, And how you make good of this mess I've made is a profound mystery. Looking back you know you had to bring me through all that I was so afraid of though I questioned the sky now I see why...Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view looking back I see the lead of love Looking back I can finally see how failures bring humility(I'd rather have wisdom and pain) Brings me to my knees (Than be a comfortable old fool)Helps me see my need for thee..." - "The Lead of Love" from Caedmon's Call. I have really been working on putting the pieces of my life back together and I think that one of the things that have been missing in my life is my spiritual growth. It's something I've been thinking and missing for some time now and think that maybe ...
