Walk this way...

Please forgive any errors on this blog...It is 2:20 a.m.

Okay so just in case you are wondering...We did make it to London!!  We got to London on June 30 at 10:45 a.m. and we have yet to stop going! We were told in Dallas that the airport was on strike and that could cause us some delays, but Jesus was good to us and it only took about 30 minutes to make it through customs! 

Then we got our tickets and headed to the Underground and then to our hotel. It is a pretty nice hotel other than none of us could get the water to turn on in the shower tonight! Yep, that is right! NONE OF US! So we had to get the guy at the front desk to help us! BAHAHAHA I think they are already for the Americans to leave! 

After we dropped off our bags we broke up in groups and got to explore for a few hours, eat lunch and then meet back so we could travel as a group to eat dinner at the original Hard Rock Cafe and experience the London Eye! I can't even begin to describe the craziness that followed in this outing! Our train was late so we walked to the  Kensington Garden and toured it. Then we walked to Hard Rock from there where we learned it was an hour and a half wait. Knowing we had to take in the London Eye we decided to head that way! OH MY SOUL!!!!!!!!!!! It was crazy trying to get there! One big red bus, the underground and then crossing this huge bridge, we made it only to find out the tickets we bought at the airport were just spot holders! HAHA We had to go exchange them for the real ticket.

The London Eye was so worth the walking! The city is amazing to see from there. After we rode the eye we headed back to Hard Rock and we walked and we walked and we walked! We ate dinner about 11:00 p.m. but it was a fun day. 

Much more funny things happened, but I think it wouldn't be as funny by reading it so I'll post highlights of the day and then some pictures! How does that sound?

Highlights from our first day in London:

1. First thoughts of the city-dirty! 

2. They have Panda's (a cookie I had in China)!!

3. The Underground is pretty cool

4. Watching a little boy not make it off the Underground with his family-Scary moment until we saw he was with another woman who didn't make it off either! Whoa! All our hearts stopped beating as we watched the mother freak out and the father almost get his arm caught in the door as it shut because he was trying to get the train to stop!

5. The London Eye!

One thing that stopped me in my tracks (which is never good since there are so many people) is the fact that I saw Alan Day on the back of a car window! It was some sort of sticker! How crazy is that!?!? Here are some of the pictures

Another random fact of the day...we have traveled and walked so much today that our feet are swollen...I got out of the shower tonight and found that my chaco strap cut the top of my foot! Now I think that is crazy and maybe a little impressive, but I'm not the coolest kid on the block! HAHA 

Blogging... I got this!

I finally have it all figured out! The blog thing that is...I think! :)


I am going to Europe in just a few short days to the International Play Conference with a group of ladies from UCO. I will be presenting with three other fabulous women! As part of this 'summer class' we have to journal daily. I decided that blogging would be an easy way to complete this assignment and it will let you keep up with what is going on!


This is not my typical summer adventure, but last fall God started opening doors and pushed me right through them! I've struggled with the fact that this trip is not a 'mission trip' but God has told me this is exactly where He wants me and I am happy to follow. His plans are better than we could ever dream and His word tells us that He has a purpose for us. We just have to be willing and obedient to follow His calling. I am ready to be used by Him and though this is not a conventional mission trip, it will be a mission trip because I am a bleiever and my job is to 'GO'.


Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and present. I am looking forward to getting to know the women on this trip. I believe there are 12 or 13 total along with people from all over the world at this conference. The nations will be joining together...a different kind of mission trip if I do say so myself! I am expecting HUGE things from a God who can do anything!


I'll post later on all the fun places we will be playing!
Have a beautiful weekend friends!
