Trying to find a rhythm

While we have picked up a sort of routine with our day since coming to England, neither of us have really been very happy with how it looks. On a week day, we get up, eat breakfast, Hannah goes to work, Bryant looks for a job & gets important stuff done while out and about, Hannah comes home from work, we sit in the executive lounge at the hotel and eat hors d'ouvres until dinner time late evening and then we go to bed. It's not that we necessarily have things we have to get completed in our off-time, like homework or anything, but it's just sad that we don't really have time to sit and blog, exercise, relax, tour little villages or other fun exploring things after work.

We changed our clocks back an hour in Europe on Saturday night and now it gets dark around 5 PM. It is sad to say, but it looks like we are going to have to do most of our England exploring over the weekends and almost none of it after the work day. This past weekend we had to drive up north a couple hours to help a friend take care of some business with her rental car. While we were up there we thought it might be a good idea to skip on over to Cambridge for the day.

We had a really great time! We parked at a Park & Ride and took the bus into the city centre on Sunday afternoon. They had a little market going on in the center and we had fun roaming around looking at all the vendors and crafty things they were selling. We saw a street performer do some stunts on the street with flaming juggling batons and a unicycle:

And we got to tour King's College! It was so beautiful in there! Because it was Sunday they had a service inside the chapel at 3:30 so we were able to hear the world famous King's College Choir. Unfortunately our camera battery died while we were touring the college grounds and I didn't get many photos of other things we saw, but King's is gorgeous--King Henry VIII made sure of that!

We got a short video of the interior of the chapel without getting caught. Sorry there isn't any music playing from the organ... we promise it's absolutely beautiful.

The closer we get to Winter and with each visit to a new charming English town, we find ourselves picking out cute little gift ideas for Christmas...England is chock-full of cute stuff!!

We know that the more we buy before we find a house, the more we have to keep in limbo at our hotel. Needless to say, we are really getting antsy to find a place, but we have yet to find one. Please be praying for us while we search. We don't don't want to settle but we are getting a little weary of tours and phone calls to letting agents.

Hopefully we can pick up a good rhythm soon before the Holidays are upon us! We want a house to decorate!!
