We're breathing the breath that you gave us to breathe

It's 6AM in England, 1AM here in North Carolina. I've been in the US since Wednesday but can't seem to figure out what time it really is. Granted, the past 2 days have been pretty, well, they've made it impossible for my body to know where it is or what time it is. Why am I even blogging at this hour?! I should be asleep. Tomorrow will be a day full of planning, and phone calls, and just plain being overwhelmed.

My grandmother went to be with my granddad and my uncle...with Christ tonight. And while I should be sleeping I can't. No matter how exhausted I am, I can't shut my eyes. And I can't wrap my head around it all and how I'm supposed to go back to England on Sunday.

I was walking home from uni today and thinking about how I hadn't posted in a while. It's just so crazy right now. I had actually planned out in my head, like all you other bloggers do, what I'd post about but that it'd honestly have to wait until after Friday. This class I'm in right now is crazy! But I love it!

So while I'm home tonight knee deep in this...

I get to tell you about this surprise in the mail...

So, as much as I'd rather keep working...I just had to share. Thanks so much for my package! It's definitely making tonight go easier!!!

And since I don't have much more time to waste before actually doing work...I'll leave the rest of you with some pictures from the past 2 weeks. We had much more snow and I had a sushi night with the twins...homemade sushi that is!

It's snowing in England!! Finally! Right now most of the UK is under a severe weather warning, with snowfall forecast through Wednesday. London itself is almost totally shut down in areas. It's awesome! And now, I have my "when I was your age I walked 2 miles in the snow, uphill just to get to school." It's awesome!

It's also great getting to experience this snow with my classmates from Africa, who are experiencing their first snow ever. We properly initiated them with a snowball fight for our half hour break during class today. I feel like a kid again!!
