Today, Taylor and I got up super early to head back to Chicago for a day or two before I head home and Taylor flies to CA for another wedding.  I haven’t been on an Amtrak train in the US, but I know a lot of people who have so I was excited. The only…

michigan; day 2

Woke up after another beautiful night sleep, today is fathers day so the first thing I did was call my dad and my grandpa to wish them a blessed day, but also to see my dads face when he opens the 12 bottles of red wine my siblings and I got him.  Taylor my roommate…

day 1; Michigan

It feels so amazing to be back in MI, staying at my dear friend Taylor’s house. Taylor was my first ever roommate when I moved to CA, she was just 17. We haven’t seen each other in four years and waking up next to her brings me back to the good old days. We woke…

chitown day three; the wonder of wandering.

I love to wonder aimlessly around cities, exploring the little things I find and saying yes to things that pop up.    This is exactly what we did we walked for miles around Chicago, seeing all of the beauty this city holds. The park, the bean, the lake, and the two carparks (I have a…

chitown day two; Memphis, lakes and mojitos

day two; oh man did I sleep. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was dead to the earth. It was a beautiful peaceful sleep I woke up feeling wonderfully refreshed.  My friend had to work until lunch time, so I took a stroll to Starbucks and walked around Rogers Park till I…

It’s the same day as I got off the plane but after a shower it felt like a new one. I jumped into an Uber (Dorothy was awesome) we spoke the whole way why jamming out to B.B King and the Blues. How could that not be a perfect start to anyone’s holiday? As we…

chicago

okay, so I have never flown long haul with United before and sadly I have only heard terrible things about the airline. I was not looking forward to the flight, after learning they didn’t have tv screens, it’s a little ratchet. But I just reminded myself to get to B you just have to endure…

a day of more discovery

So Faye and I spent the day again just roaming around the city looking for things to. We first headed to The Barbican because we both wanted to see the conservatory exhibituation, however when we got there, there was an event going on so sadly we could only look in via the window. It looked amazing so…

Exams: Done.

Holy Moly. I really did it, I really finished my exams and my first year at university I can not believe it. When I walked out of the exam room today, I took a huge sigh and I did a little star jump to celebrate. The first person I called was Faye, I couldn’t have…

Baptism Sunday

My favourite kind of Sunday, and what a Sunday it was. At Skylark Church baptisms are a celebration, a party, the church is packed wall to wall and the atmosphere is so God filled and God breathed. This Sunday we had 7 youths who themselves had been chosen, which is important non of them were made to…
