A Kinda normal ish blog.. still all about me...

So where do I start?!

I promised the next blog I did would be worthy of reading... well I will try. Possibly starting with an update of the business of my life and then maybe that will reflect and show me a new meaning we can all share in!

So... June saw one of the busiest times of my life... making for my fieldwork was handed in and two essays which seemed to be nightmares was just the uni side of my life. I love working for my church and there a lot of things happening and changing which means I need to keep my running shoes on to keep up, but it’s great to seem glimpse of what God is doing and where he is taking our community.

June saw me also running about the England to see two very different gigs but equally cool and memories well worth keeping.

MUSE meant Holly and I getting lost on the way to the hotel but seeing one of the best gigs from MUSE ever... and I quote ‘better than Glastonbury’ from Holly which is an amazing statement for her to make!! We had a great time, and has made me think I trip to the capital city every now and again would be a good choice!
The day when I was (starting and) finishing my final essay for the second year of my degree I had a text to say that once again I had won tickets... this time to MIKA in Manchester... the next day! The panic set in of who was I going to take, who could be free and my thoughts turned to the lovely Em... after the realisation we would have to drive all the way to Manchester and then find the ‘secret’ venue I cracked on with that I would like to say was a lovely essay, however I would be lying, I couldn’t stand the flipping essay and wished it to be over- at 4am Wednesday it finally was and by 1030am it was in the post! However this was something I would never advice anyone else to do... because it now meant I had had 3 hours sleep to drive from Bristol, to Cardiff to then Manchester then all the way back... But forget the danger side for just a few moments to understand the amazingness of the gig and how excited we both were (not including the hangover- em and the over tiredness- me) there is one more detail I need to point out... that the dress code for the gig was fancy dress- So Fi fi the fairy and Em the Cat graces the streets of Manchester as we walked about a mile looking for the gig. It gig was great, MIKA is a great stage presents and a wonderfully talented man who can hit the notes every time. It is great to see a normal bloke enjoy himself doing what he clearly loves... marry me MIKA! (He is also very hansom ;)) Oh and yeah... the whole gig was filmed for TV and I was interviewed and then shown on TV- so I am now famous... please form a queue for autographs!
see if you can spot me... i was also on the rest of the show another 2 times! he he









But we made it safely back no issues and now I embark on the summers activities...

This year I will be mostly camping...

Hill House, Soul Survivor, Greenbelt and Cornwall are all on the menu- very busy for someone who is meant to be taking a break!

But all these are great and will (hopefully) give me a chance to spend time with God and seek what we are meant to be doing over the next year and to pray through some of the issues whizzing around my head...

This isn’t the right place to start on my issues... maybe at a later time- But God does bless me with people around me to impart wisdom and love, and I will always be thankful!

But I also have to celebrate... I have PASSED my final essay of my second year... yes even the one I hated so much... in fact that has been one of my best marks!! (I am still in shock!)

Right I need to keep working on campy things!

Love and hugs
