Remenessaince

I woke up with a cold, in no mood of getting out of bed. I got a text this morning from Paul, and it made me smile. I tried to fight the cold, and got some laundry done, and came up with a cool lesson plan for my next English lesson. I felt good, but miserable at the same time. Being sick is no fun!
Then, my phone rings!  I looked at the number, and I had no idea who that could be. I thought it was from some company to ask me to go in for an interview. No, that was not it! It was even better! It was a phonecall from the Negrici family in Pitesti! I love those people, and I have been trying to figure out a way to visit people in the places i served my mission in: Mihai Bravu (Bucuresti), Constanta, Ploiesti and Pitesti. Since I got home over a year ago, I only got to visit Ploiesti once, and Bucuresti twice.
The Negrici's had some good news for me: they have a new member in their family, a beautiful baby girl! I was so happy, I AM so happy for them! They were an example of faithfulness and love when I served there, and I alway looked up to them.





I love them, and I miss them. And I love all those people in Pitesti who made my time spent there so worth all the sacrifice. I wish I could have done even more for them, each and every one of the people I ever met there. I hope they know I love them, even after all this time.

    You were a great missionary with them...and you still love them and try your best to keep in touch...so you ARE doing something for them!

The perfect proposal

It was the morning of the 6th of December, in our room at the gorgeous Copthorne Hotel Gatwick  . (we were staying there with his mum, sister, and 3 friends of theirs) The plan for that morning was breakfast at 9 o'clock with everyone, then Peter, Monika, Angelina and me would go visit London, which was 36 miles away. We previously decided to leave at 10. It was 8:30 am, and we were getting ready for breakfast. During the night, Saint Nick dropped some candies in Peter's shoes, but he skipped mine... maybe he decided we were sharing anyway. Peter, with a big smile on his face, went to talk to Monika, only to tell me 5 minutes later that we had to run to the Pharmacy to get some kind of cream or lotion. Since we had the smaller car and we were dressed, it made sense that we should be the ones going. Peter told me he had to go, then asked me if I wanted to go with him. This type of question always gets the same answer: yes. So, without even looking in the mirror, or without e...

Not sure what the title should be...

     My husband and I have been married for 18 months now. We are very happy together, we love and cherish each other, and our path is sunny, in spite of the rainy English weather. One of the things we both want greatly is to have children. I said 3, he said 5, in the end we might end up with 4 :)      This year was a rocky year. We went through the joy of being pregnant to the pain of losing the pregnancy twice already. The first one was at six weeks. I told myself that there was no heartbeat yet, so it wasn't meant to be. I wasn't depressed, I was a bit angry with the medical staff - it's a different story, about waiting 10 hours on a chair in a hallway while bleeding and aching - but I got over it quickly. I went straight back to work, and spent time serving in my Church calling. I think it was a bit harder for Peter, but we took comfort that we could try again. And we tried again! We got to eight weeks, then the pains and bleeding started. After a ful...

I haven't written here in a very long time. I didn't know what to write... or how to put my feelings, my life into words. It sounds funny since I love to talk and I am almost never out of words. You might remember the post about Flowers and Fingernail Polish... well, the good friend , the guy who drew those ended up to be my boyfriend. His name is Peter. He is from Szeged, Hungary, but lives in Preston, England. We met at the YSA Conference held in Dobogoko Hungary. We liked each other so we decided to keep in touch. Well, things evolved very fast, and I will just put down main ideas: 1. Went back to work after the conference, my boss shared with me things I did not really agree with (no need of details) so the next day I turned in my 20 day notice (according to the law) I told him I did not see things his was, and I didn't want to continue working together, but to make it a nice "break up" I was going according to the law (instead of immediate termination) In...
