Well we are here. After a million goodbyes, some tears, a uhaul trip and a plane ride--We made it to Scotland! OH how amazing the first few days have been. We arrived on Wednesday, checked in to our hotel, and went exploring.
Walking up the stairs, surrounded by the greenest grass in the whole world, and seeing the steeple, it hit me that Brian is going to this university.
It just looks like the type of place you go to learn.
I think I should at this point draw your attention to Brian's hat. He has worn this hat for the past three days (nothing unusual) but he has gotten a compliment every day about this hat. At the pub one night, on the street--every one wants to know where he found his blue hat.
Typically the weather is gray and rainy; however, that first day the sky hinted at the blue behind the clouds and then started to give us actual blue sky. It was the best present we could have received. After our breakfast of baked beans, an egg, two types of bacon, toast and some type of black pudding (who knows?), we headed to the University.

Which means we have had more conversations with locals in the past three days than the three weeks we were hear last year. Thank you blue hat.
Once we left the university, we made our way to Kelvin Park.
The Kelvin River runs through Glasgow and the park runs along the river and the backside of the university.
The park has a giant hill (to Floridians) that we hiked to the top of.
Once we did that and walked a little bit more, we needed a nap,
which we took.
Later that night we ate the best Indian food I have ever had.
The next two days have consisted of us moving into our flat, going to Ikea, eating more really good food, and enjoying "City Life," which means I have a lot of blisters on my feet and had to buy a decent pair of walking shoes.
More to come....
Love,
Brian and Katie

Wow, ya'll - conversation, good food and blisters! Doesn't get any better than that. We missed you at church yesterday! Sunday school started with the usual Judith bang. God bless you!!!
Yay!! We were so excited to read about your first few days in your new home. We will definitely keep you both in our prayers. We miss you so much! Thank you for your friendship and being so great to us in our short time of knowing each other.

Hey guys,
We're here at the Cheney's, invited ourselves over as usual. I do miss having dinner here with you both as well. We have been praying for you. Brian, excuse me, "Slim", hope your school is going well. I have tried to keep in touch with Paul but have not been very successful. You know how that goes.
Katie- Catherine misses you very much (aq- she needs someone to watch The Hills with, not me). She also wants to vent to both of you about T.J. and the early morning scene.
Anyways, the pics are great. Hopefully when I graduate and start making millions we will be able to come and visit. By the I expect Brian to know exactly what I should/shouldn't eat or drink.
Good luck with everything, email us with any specific prayer requests you have.
Love you guys,
AQ
and Catherine says she loves you too.
miss you guys.
