Linz in Focus

Well Friday was graduation day! Hooray!!! Friday was thee busiest day ever!

We had our graduation ceremony in the morning and then we had coffee in our tutor groups then we had a commissioning service  and then we had lunch. After that we had fun and games on the lawn including a water slide. The sun shone the whole day… it was beautiful.

Then we had to get dressed up really posh for our end of term party which was a masked ball! my very first masked ball, it was a really good night.

but even tho we were in our posh frocks we still had to do dishes and they say fairy tales don’t exsist huh!!

The day however was not all happy as we had to say goodbye to some of our firends who were returning home so there were some tears but we just gave Johnny a box of tissues! and a hug then he was ok!!!

 Now more and more pepole are leaving  it is getting quiter and quiter and it feels like we are being left behind but there are students staying on to work for the college during the holidays. As we are until the kids finish school at the end of July. In these four weeks left we will be busy helping out with summer conferences and cleaning and all sorts of things. Then we have a week in Austria hooray!!! and two weeks in Scotland hooray!!!!

About an hour ago Rachel just learned to ride her bike without stabilisers hooray!!!!! and just before her 5th birthday on monday! well done Rachel

I can’t believe it is the last week of en route it has just flown by! We have all sorts of end of term stuff going on ranging from a picnic to a masked ball next Friday! What to wear for that! Maybe I can go and buy a tent from Tisos! Anyway it promises to be a good night. What ever I wear!

Unfortunately it is not all just play we still have one Assignment still to do we have to do a presentation for about 10-15 mins about our Country in which we will be going to work or about the work we will be doing! For those who know me know I hate doing things up front so I am dreading this part of the course.

Well what a weekendthe kids and I had-a whistle stop tour of family. We had a great time eating and chatting. Our weekend went a little something like this.

Friday we left at about 3 in the morning we dropped Johnny off at Manchester airport at about 5:50am. Then the kids and I continued up to Scotland.  We arrived at my sisters about 10:45, my mum joined my sister and I for lunch. After lunch we went to my dads and we got settled in for the evening. Trying very hard not to drop off and end up face down in my dinner!

Saturday After the kids woke up at 5am gently suggested that they may want to go back to sleep! We went and had lunch with my mum then went to my sister’s were the kids played in the paddling pool most of the afternoon then we went back to dad’s for tea then after tea I went to the pictures with my sisters and I fell a sleep half way through not good!

Sunday We got up and went to Abbeyhill (our home church) it was fantastic to see everyone again then we went and had lunch with our friends Craig and Elyse and one of Lee’s best friends. Then we went to visit our old neighbours at Queensferry, another of Lee’s best friends. We had such a laugh with coffee and cake my favourite! Then we went to Johnny’s mum and dads to have supper and spend the night.

Monday We got up, got ready and left about 11:30am to meet Johnny at a services near Manchester airport then we all arrived back at All Nations Christian College about 8:30pm.

Well there you go it was a busy weekend but you know it was so worth going back meeting up with everyone. We are tired but we had a great time hopefully it will put an end to my home sickness for a while. If you want to find out how Johnny’s weekend went in Canada you will have to watch this space.
