I'M BACK IN ENGLAND!


Surprise, surprise! I am in England once more! AHHHHH. I've been back in my wonderful, crazy second home for the past two weeks (yes, I am a sham of a blogger). This plan to return began formulating last June, the time flew by, and now I'm here! WHAT. In a lot of ways, it feels like no time has passed whatsoever since I was here last. It seemed to pick up right where I left off! But other days I look around me in complete disbelief. Going to England the first time was big enough; but being able to come again within a year's time? GOD IS SO GOOD.

And since I am in England, that of course means I am back together with my bonkers lil' sheep Jess!! And we get to hang out with each other for the next two months. I know, what even is my life right now. It has been too amazing to be with my James again. We've spent the past two weeks catching up in person, laughing our heads off, singing songs, painting fences, making plenty of coffees, eating our favourite foods, watching films, and of course, filming videos for our Mind the Gap series. Last week we took a three-day holiday to Wales (my first time!), and it was simply sublime. Wales is a gorgeous place full of rugged mountains and rivers and surrounded by the ocean. Buuuuut I won't tell you too much about it now, because a proper Wales blog post will be coming soon! Along with some photo sessions between myself and Jess, of course. Heh heh, you'll probably be so sick of our faces.

To keep up with our adventuring (of which there will be much much more), craziness, and coffee consumption, you should check out mine and Jess' Instagrams! It's our favourite social media so we post there, uh, probably more often than we should. You should also check out our Mind the Gap series on YouTube if you haven't already, because we post a video every week and each one is chock full of insanity, hilarity, and all sorts of crazy stuff.

Basically, guys, I am just so fantastically happy to be back in this land I love so much with these people I adore like nobody's business. We have so much planned and so many schemes in place that the next two months are going to feel like a whirlwind. But I am so ready. I still can't believe the Lord has blessed me with this chance to come back. It took several months of hard work and prayer, but the end result is well worth it. England, how I have missed you.

INTRODUCING MIND THE GAP!


GUYS. I have some exciting news. My little chum Jess and I have been working on a special project we think you're going to love. The idea sparked a couple months ago, and after much development and discussion and work and laughter and worry and a little too much fun (all of which fueled by coffee, of course), it's finally ready! Since we both love vlogging and are always looking for ways to stay creative, we are so happy to introduce our new video series, Mind the Gap!

*watch in HD

 Hi there! We're Jess (the Brit) and Petie (the American), and we've been amazingly close friends since 2012. Since we live much too far apart, Mind the Gap is our new conversational-type web series in which we talk to each other about life, coffee, funny stories from our everyday, our loving Saviour, random stuff, and basically anything that makes us laugh. New video every Monday!

Lest you think us terribly selfish, we didn't make this just for us. This is for us and for you, for everyone! We want you guys to get involved by following along and adding your thoughts, comments, opinions, ideas, etc., to whatever it is we're talking about. Feel free to engage in conversation, talk amongst yourselves, and spark some really amazing discussion! So with that in mind, now comes the part where I beg you to subscribe to the "Mind the Gap" channel (you know you want to!), and please share the video above anywhere and everywhere you choose!

Our first video goes live on Monday, August 3! Keep up with Jess and me on Instagram; that's where we pop around the most. We don't know exactly what this project will look like in days to come or how far it will take us, but we are so excited about this new creative venture, and we hope you love it and have as much fun with it as we do!
