so instead of writing a long essay about all the fun times and amazing blessings that i'm enjoying here in connecticut, i've decided to just post a long list of things to update you all. i hope you enjoy!
the pictures, top to bottom:
1: partial front view of the home where i live
2: back view, my suite is on the far, far left
3: the view from the pool area
4: landon and erin came to visit me!! this is at my favorite diner.
the events, in no particular order:
1: i went to manhattan last saturday! i walked all around central park and a freelancer photographed me playing in the bethesda fountain.
2: i have already made some AMAZING friends and found a church home....PRAISE GOD.
3: i know how to get MANY places around town, and i can even navigate myself to the mall in stamford...very necessary.
4: i finally got a new computer! an adorable little macbook.
5: landon and erin came to visit me and we had a fabulous time!!
6: i was introduced to "high school musical" which is now a favorite.
7: OH YEAH, the family is amazing, but they have been on vacation for two weeks, so i am lonely at night in the big house.
8: my MOM is coming to visit me in october....yay!
9: i MIGHT get to see beth moore in rhode island at the end of the month...
10: another freelance photographer took me on a photoshoot the other day. people, i am not photogenic.
11: there are two baby deer (and perhaps their mother) trapped on the property. it is fully fenced in and they can not get out. they are very cute and i have named them jim and pam.
12: unfortunately, there might also be a coyote on the property. i saw him last week, but i've only heard him at night since then. i have not named him, because i do not like him.
13: thirteen is unlucky, so i will stop here.
well, there it is. i know it doesn't seem like a lot, but it's been an action-packed two + weeks for me. i will report more "work-related" details, as soon as i start living them:)
love to you all from the east coast,
lauren faith

what a beautiful little cottage!
i enjoyed reading your update and seeing your sweet face again :) can't wait to hear more!
You're not responsible to clean the house, too, are you??? Now that would be a job! I think i would have to take a few days just learning how to navigate the house. :-) I'd love to see pix of your kids when they get back from vacation!
Kewl House! Hope you are doing well!
hey girls!
i will have more to post shortly....
charity: a LOVELY columbian woman named ximena (hey-men-a) is our housekeeper. her job is MUCH harder than mine, but she does it so well!! we are excellent friends already, and ~d will be so happy to know that ximena thinks my spanish is good, and it is only getting better.
it took me several days to actually quit making wrong turns in the house. i felt dumb.
there's a chance i may not post pictures of the kids, merely because i'm not sure how their parents will feel about that. they (understandably so in this age!) are very cautious with their children's use of the internet, and i want to honor that of course. but trust me, they're beautiful!
i'm sure when i'm home next, i'll be flashing some snapshots:)
just a little correction...or two :)
if her name is spelled ximena, i would think it would be pronounced he-may-nah. but you should double check. and the nationality is colombian :)
and i am VERY excited that you are practicing your spanish!!
que Dios te bendiga!
Comparing these pics of where you live with the name of your blog. I never lived next door to something like this. :)
Hope your adjustment and getting acquainted is going well.
So wish we could have seen you before you left. Don't suppose you will be back before we leave for the Dominican on Oct 1st...

ximena claims i'm saying her name correctly, but i'm not altogether sure that she would tell me if i was a little off;) she did however, make the same correction you did with the spelling of her home country! haha.

thanks so much for checking my blog! i've tried to comment on your's, but it won't let me. i probably won't be home before you leave (sniif, sniff) but i trust you're doing well and recovering (like everyone else) from the fair!
Don't feel bad...half the time my blog won't even let ME on it! You won't believe what I go through to sign on to it! Once I'm in the DR there is only come computer that will access my blog and then not every time I try it either!
