Always Thankful for...

• …a flight that was $300 cheaper than anything else we had found.
• a comfy row for two on the plane – Steve gets a window seat, I get an aisle; everybody’s happy!!
• Getting the hair hostess to make me a cocktail of apple juice and spirte – you know me, pushing the boat out!!
• Getting extra bread on the flight (I do love my carbs!!)
• Watching Big Momma’s House 3, Black Swan, Friends, Mr Bean, CSI, Modern Family, and listening to albums by Janelle Monae, Adele & Jessie J.
• Getting picked up in the car by Steve’s sister and baby Fraser less than a month old!!
• The energy of 2 year old Theo (with chickenpox) shouting “bina” & “steve” when we arrived at his house.
• English rain!!
• Arriving at coach station for bus to Oxford 3 minutes before it arrives!
• The sleep on the coach that made up for the lack of sleep on the plane.
• All six bags fitting into the car…by some crazy miracle, and by getting a little squashed!!
• English TV!!
• Fish and Chips for Dinner.
• A “quick trip” with my mummy lasting 2 hours, with ¾ of it involving walking!!
• Mooching around my house in pyjama’s.
• How excited everyone is to see us.
• The fun that we will have over the next two weeks.

• The beautiful sleep I will get tonight. 
• Life, and journey with my wonderful husband. 
• Conversation with Father God.
