I've been tagged by Lou and Carl, but I hate reading old blogs and diaries and stuff, so you can look up the fifth line of my 25th blog yourself!

I tag everyone who reads this blog

(so sorry I can't be bothered, need sleep)

House!

I'm moving out! Hopefully in the next two weeks, to a terraced house off Silver Road (v handy for Fridays :) And my housemate iiiiisssss.... my lovely Ben! *cue disapproving comments* I'm not going to spend time defending this decision, it's one we've prayed about, and it means we can go to church together and generally live healthier and not so tiring lives.

So excited!!!!

Church reviews

Ship of Fools Mystery Worshipper - there's only one Norwich church review, though a few of you might find it handy/amusing. Read the review of the smallest ever church - now that's what we need for cell!

Cell

Cell is good and I'm loving it. I'm realising how much I've been misisng out on by not meeting with other Christians regularly - it's making me want to find a church!

Tonight Lou led and we talked about doubts we have and things we don't understand in the Bible or about God. It was an interesting discussion, we talked about how Jews might be missing out on salvation, the difference/fulfilment between Old and New Testaments/Covenants, how Jesus seems different in the Gospels to preconceptions and what we sometimes hear at church, and the confusion of Revelation. We have some ideas of what to look at over the next term or so, which is good.

Not much else to report, apart from a fantastic week in Scotland. It was nice to get away from work and relax. Spending a week with Ben was cool, feel like a proper couple now we've had some disagreements!

Update

*removed*
Sorry the lighting is a bit funny, but this is my big little brother, who proclaimed that when he gets married he's wearing a kilt. Converted!

Feeling tired out at the moment. I moved out of the training cell into my new team last week at work, which has been quite demanding socially, especially as I'm not being the most talkative person with things going on at home. I'm still learning loads about annuities and how everything works, and being part of a team means there's different aspects of the work to think about.

I'm still not settled in a church which is a disconcerting thought bubbling in the back of my mind. I've been to church with Ben a couple of times which has been good, but I despair of ever being fully involved somewhere, and I'm not sure I want to be. Cell is going well, it's great to meet up with friends with the specific aim of talking and praying together. There's something really cool about sitting in armchairs in Marzanos with coffee praying in the middle of the cafe. Next week we're brainstorming about things to look at over the next term, so feel free to pray for direction for us all. It will be interesting how it turns out, as four of the group will be going back to uni soon.

Back to Scotland for Grandpa's 90th birthday tea party next weekend. Looking forward to visiting St Andrews again too, I've missed the beach (but nothing else!)

Yay!

The coolest page on the web :D

Back home

Just returned from a fantastic weekend in Dunkeld for Dad's wedding. It was really good weather (even though it had been pouring rain in the morning and was a little windy!)





Didn't manage to get a good picture of the married couple, but here they are:



All the guys looked stunning in their kilts, (unfortunately I'm banned from posting a picture of my brother but he looked pretty good too) and the evening ceildh [kay-lee for all you pathetic Englishmen ;) ] was fantastic fun!


And, of course, us bridesmaids were gorgeous (the other bridesmaid was Coral, my step-mum's 12 year old niece), and it actually wasn't that bad! Page boy Johny (Coral's 7 year old brother) was brilliant and looked very cute in his kilt.



But the belle of the ball was my new step-mother, and her dress was lovely (with an easy to take care of train which was good!)
