Off the Island!

We are off! We feel a bit like the cast of Lost only we have made it off the isle at last. We left on the 7th July by the way of the ferry with our cars and some belongings while the rest was taken to storage. Like most goodbyes there were mixed emotions, we were sad to leave such a beautiful place where we had a safety and freedom that we had not experienced before. On the other hand we are glad to be back somewhere we can be more accessible to family and friends, we also look forward to returning to worship with the Church of Christ.
As some of our regular readers will know David found a permanent job in Peterhead (about an hour north of Aberdeen) teaching Maths, he will begin in mid-August. Also we are in the final stages of buying our first home, it is in the village of Boddam just 3 miles south of Peterhead. We are so excited to finally be putting down some roots as they say since we have moved about 5 times in 3 years! That is enough for any one. We are currently staying with my parents in Stirling while we wait for our entry date on the 6th of August.

Abigail has been struggling with the transition and has not been settling to sleep very well at naps or bedtime. We ask that you pray for her in this unsettled time. We will be glad to get her into our new home and back into her routines.

David and I are both enjoying a bit more of a relaxed schedule and have been taking it in turns to sleep in.

We will keep you posted on our move as it progresses.
