VIVA LONDON

Ladies! Hello!!! Kacey, so nice to hear an update. Yes, I still check this thing, and in true fashion I forgot how to post something, so its taken me literally two months to figure out where the "sign in" button is... Wow, beat that. Anyways, I am very excited for your upcoming month Kace, even though it sounds very full. You and Alan are in my prayers, most def. I wish I could be there to celebrate with you at the wedding, and to say hello to my other girls! What unfortunate timing my semester came in...
BUT I am here in London- just arrived a few days ago! I spent the better part of the month in Australia with my dad, bonding and traveling up the coast to the Great Barrier Reef, and spending time getting to know Julia better too. I was so blessed by my time there. Julia set me up with her cousins that live in the city of London and I am living with them for the semester. They are in their 40's, married without children, and have a whole small 3rd story with bed/bath that goes unused... so, I'm-a-gonna-use it!! Seriously, the Lord's provision for me to be here is astonishing. I found my school the other day right next to a little park in the center of town and across from the British Museum, with a small sign for Sotheby's Institute of Art. Oh, how I have waited for this to actually be real, and it is. The town that I am living in is a quaint more residential area with traditional Victorian houses and a strip of cute cafes and parks around the corner. I think I am in heaven. Ask me again when it rains for 7 days straight, but for now I am overwhelmed as God's revealing His path for me. So... who's comin to visit???
Ok, long entry, sorry (but typical haha). I love and miss you all, think about you often. Please update us on your lives. Love, love!- The Shan Shan

I'M DONE!!! (hopefully)

Hi friends,

It is finally (almost) official, I have graduated Hygiene School!! I could not be more excited or pleased. Now, I am on my way to Weddingsville, and all of you are invited. Hopefully you have all received your invitations by now. The reason I am not 100% done with school is I just took my final board in order to get my license on Friday, assuming I passed, then I am done.

Last weekend was hectic. Alan's grandfather, whom he was very close to, passed away on Friday night. Even though it was expected, it didn't make it any easier and indeed it felt sudden. We have been overwhelmed with all of the things that need to be done. In addition to that, Alan and I are heading to New York City to watch the Yankees play the Red Sox on Thursday. It will be my first time there and I am pretty excited. 

I don't know if any of you read this anymore, but I sure hope you do and I sure hope you respond with recent updates in your life.

Love you and miss you and HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!!
