A couple of Firsts....

Hey guys.
Couple of first time things have been happening--
1) I went to Greenwich, where the East meets the West at the Prime Meridian! Below are a couple of pictures of our ferry ride over and then views from the top of the hill where the Observatory was located.
2) My first coat! Living in Texas and then California have not prepared me for the winter that is to come. So I had to buy my first coat over here and can I just say it is gorgeous?! It is a trench, double breasted, waterproof (KEY), khaki, knee-length beauty.
3) Harrods! This place is crazy! 7 levels of anything you can ever imagine that you would need to buy. They have already started decorating for Christmas. There is no way to explain how amazing it is going to be. I guess the best way to put it is (if you know her) like hundreds of my Aunt Theresa's beautiful Christmas trees and decorations over 7 stories of shops! Can't wait!
4) I went to my first church service in London! It was so wonderful! I was so worried if I would feel comfortable, know any of the songs, and be able to relate to the preacher, but of course the Lord is always there if you are searching to find Him. I went to HTB and I know I'm going to find another wonderful church community. They have a mainly student service on Sunday evenings which is great for traveling. I'm so excited!
5) My first Hyde Park nap! I layed out on the grass today in the beautiful weather and slept! It was so relaxing, well, minus the city noise in the background, mainly cars honking.

So that's whats been going on lately! I would love to hear from each and every one of you!
Cheers! ♥♥♥

dear natalie:

hello. my name is bryan fojtasek. you may remember me from such catch phrases as "succell" and "that's embarrassing." But today I'm here to talk to you about how much pepperdine misses you. you are awesome. and pepperdine likes awesome people. so when awesome people go away to stupid london, pepperdine is sad. it will be many moons before we see each other again. that makes me sad as well.

have fun in europe.
