yesterday was really fun. jenelle and i got the train out to rayleigh, essex, which is right outside of london. it was very green and spacious. it reminded us of lancaster. martin (mr. dyson) picked us up from the station and brought us back to his house. his wife, baryl, made us hot tea. then martin took us out to their HUGE garden. it was sooo amazing. we couldn't believe it. it was like a dreamworld of magical gardenness. thier garden was one acre. it was filled with all sorts tree houses, plants, ponds, pathways, fountians, secret passagways, rope climbing thing, soccer field, "wendy house" (play house), barbque, summer house.....it was amazing. so then, it started to rain, so we went for a drive around the countryside...it was really nice. then they took us to two english pubs. they were so cool. they looked like they were out of a movie. very rustic and with lots and lots of character. after that it was around dinner time so they took us to this cute british resturant. after dinner we went back to their house for more tea and then martin drove us back to the train station. what a wonderful couple.
thanks a lot for your comments. they are always so encouraging. i miss you all.

Sounds amazing Cori!
Drink up all these wondeful european places for me ok?
Can't wait to see you back...really...really! :-)
It's so funny to hear you discrib the Dyson's, because I actully picture them just like that. Maybe I watch to many British sitcomes. Remember to send them a Thank you note. Infact if you'd e-mail me thier address, or give it to me when we talk on Sunday, I'd like to thank them for their kindness to you and Jenelle also. Maybe we'll get to London as a family sometime, and we can visit again.
Cori,
I've been reading your blog and just had to comment. I read your entry the other day about your trip to London and how you met this couple and sat there with tears in my eyes. And as a Mom, I just appreciate how God has taken care of you. He just continues to pour His mercy out on us, doesn't He? It sounds like you are having an amazing experience in Europe. Like your Mom, I can just picture what you are describing. It sounds glorious! I know Nicole was trying to figure out how she could come visit you during her break, but it's just not practical at this time. But I know she's praying for you and enjoying the time she can catch up on your blog. She was also SOOOO excited when she got your birthday card. She said that "made her day - week even"! Have a great weekend, Cori and I look forward to hearing more of your "European adventures."
Love ya!

Cori - I so loved the comments about the Dysons. It sound like you are living a movie or something. I hope you took pictures of your new friends, so you will remember them. Isn't it cool how God takes care of our needs and then gives us "dessert" (your new friends) to top it off. I am so excited for you. I would love to go to Rome and London sometime. I miss you here at home. I guess it is only a couple of months now. Cool.... lots of love, Aunt Diane
oh my word cor! sounds so incredible!!! God is providing the most amazing things for you to experience while you're there! so much more than you could have ever imagined! that's what I've been praying for; that this trip would be so much better than you could have dreamed it would be, and that you'd see God's hand in it, very evidently! what a blessing this trip to london has been so far! I really wish I were there wiht you! I'm telling you, I have so many questions to ask you, when you get back we'll have to like live together for a week, just so I'll be able to get thru them all! :-) I love you so much, and miss you TONS! I am doing well--really well! Life is good, God is awesome; I'm seeing his hand in my own life here at home, too! Very evidently! This new job is such a blessing...its timing couldn't have been more perfect!!!! well, gotta go for now. so happy to hear all about your days in london! I'm soaking up every detail! :-) byyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
