Which side of the road?

     It has been a busy week. I mentioned last week that I was living in the attic. This week has been completely different. I havent had a chance to hook up my computer to the internet to post on the blog. It has been at the least hectic. It has been good, however. I have stayed here at Billy’s and I stayed at his parents’ house over the weekend.

     I got a flat. I believe the number is 88 Prunier drive. I know for a fact, that is where the flat is. Yesterday, we went looking for a car. I needed an automatic since I have never driven a manual transmission car before. We found the perfect car almost instantaneously. It is a 2001 Ford Mondeo. It has only 25,000 miles on it. So, I committed to buy it today. I put down a down payment. To say that this process has been a smooth one would be the farthest from the truth. I went to pay with my credit card, and there was a 3% processing fee for that. It wouldnt be there with a debit card. Since I don’t have enough on my debit card, I just put down a 200 pound deposit. I will go to the bank tomorrow. I can get a cash advance with 2.5% (that saves 150 pounds). I will get all of this posted on here once I get it all squared away.

     I hope to move in to my flat here in the next week. It is hoped to be finished Friday. If I can get that and my car, I will be set for a while.

I'm Here

     I have a new website now. I am putting my blog on there now. I hopefully will be still putting in on there. But, check that site out for pictures, blogs, and occasional podcasts. 

     I arrived yesterday evening in Peterhead. My flights went just fine despite a winter storm in London.  Everyone was sure I would be stranded there, but God had other plans. The storm moved through the day before and cancelled all the flights. I met a guy who had to spend a lot of money to stay in a hotel for the night. My flight was right on time. In fact, we got to Aberdeen a bit early. God really provided. 

     I had three bags which was supposed to cost me $200 extra. After I checked my bags, I realized they never asked for my money, so I went back to the counter and asked them about it. Since the tags for all three bags printed, they couldn’t ask me for the money. God saved me $200.      

     There was a two hour layover in Chicago. My gate was easy to find. It was in the same area as the time I flew through there before. It was also right next to the food court. So, I had plenty of time for dinner. I was worried about it. I asked for a window seat on the plane so I wouldn’t have to worry about people climbing over me while i tried to sleep. I didn’t get a window seat. God gave me something better. I got a seat next to a small child. If he was going anywhere, It would be with his mom on the other side. I got immediate access to the isle. 

     The seven hour layover was not a big deal. Because I got in so early there was on a line anywhere to wait through. It was very nice. I had a ton of time to kill. I stopped to get some brunch and got a half hour nap to which I was totally disoriented. It was cool. I hadn’t slept that deeply in a long time. I dominated in a game on Monopoly (take that Penelope). I walked through the same path that I did when I went through there this past May. I even left out of the same gate (probably because I was going to the same place). God gave me a breeze of travel. 

     I slept last night for about 15 hours. I was very tired. I dreamt the craziest things. And I remember them. That rarely happens. Tonight we are going to Bible class and then I am hoping I can sleep some more. Also, the air is quite a bit heavier here.
