Sometimes you just gotta burp!

This week has been a bit of a tough one emotionally for some reason. It's probably a mixture of saying bye to our friends who just visited, the weather that teases you here, and finding out that the future job we were most excited about pursued other applicants... Bleh! 

Needless to say, I haven't been as chipper as I would like, and that annoys me- haha! Today took me out of my funka funk pretty quickly when we spent the afternoon with some new friends.

Adam and Kirsty, a sweet couple who we met at church, picked us up and took us on an adventure to a cozy little pub with a "roaring fire", as Adam would say, and we immediately loved it, because our dinky little fake "fireplace" heater is one blow away from KAPUT (my inventive spelling). Lunch was great, and we enjoyed getting to know about their lives, but I think the best part of the afternoon happened after lunch... When they took us to Krispy Kreme!

Not only was the hot sign on, but by some miracle (shhh... It's a secret), we managed to get a dozen of those assorted heavenly gems for FREE! What?!? 

As Kirk and I began our fest of gluttony in the backseat, we were midway through a hilarious conversation about how I continually mispronounce Scottish street names, and it happened... From deep down below... It wasn't going to wait... It didn't care that we hardly know these people... The post-KK rumbly in my tumbly! A burp that could be heard and felt in the highlands! And it was all I needed to stop taking myself and my life too seriously. I couldn't stop laughing! Even now, I'm STILL cracking up at my "HORRENDOUS" (Adam word again) manners in the UK of all places. I sure hope the Queen didn't hear me! 

The fun carried on when Adam and Kirsty dropped us back at the cafe where our day started. I met another friend there (Rachel from church), and we were able to enjoy a very relaxed convo, because Kirsty offered to take Micah and play with her the whole time! What an amazing group of people we have met here! 

We love y'all!
