We've started watching Pride and Prejudice. I say "started watching" instead of "watched," because it's the BBC version that's like forever long. But Collin Firth makes such a perfect Mr. Darcy that it doesn't bother me a bit.
I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I'm fairly certain that the Pizza Hut pizzas here are smaller than in the States.
I think I've finally found a church. I went to Hillsong in central London this weekend, and loved it. It reminded me so much of ACC in Waco, so it kind of felt like home.
