Abby: A Catch Up

Ok, firstly, I apologize for not posting in FOREVER. The story of that is, after the latest post I procrastinated until exams, and of course all through the 2 weeks of exams I was studying for the next exam. Then we went to Texas for 5 weeks (more on that later). We started school successfully and I like all of my teachers, especially my math teacher- and it helps that she's nice 'cause math isn't my greatest subject :-). Also the material we're using is amazing; we switched to the British system so it's all new. 

All my close friends stayed in the school, so that's good since about half of the kids from last year left this school (because of the new curriculum). There's even a girl who moved from Coppell, Texas that moved here 5 months after we did! I've officially started guitar lessons! They've been great. The five weeks spent in Texas were good- even though they caused a lot of emotional stress, they were worth it. We were at a different church every week, so we got to see a LOT of people. 

Since my birthday happened while we were there, I got to celebrate with my grandparents which was nice. While we were gone, Lego stayed with a great family while we were gone who had kids and a dog, so he was in paradise. Speaking of Lego, he's been behaving a lot better since we've been back, and he's officially one year old! His birthday was also while we were away so we missed it, but something tells me that he wasn't too offended :-). 

A few pictures of some of the good friends we had really missed:

And here is a recent picture of Lego:
