Mardy and I have been married for 6 years! Ooops I've gotten a little ahead of myself because I've been telling people for months that we've been married for 6 years. Heres the stats...... In the 6 years we've been married we've lived in 3 countries, moved 8 times, visited 7 different countries, 5 1/2 years of school for Mardy in 3 different universities, we have one wonderful daughter and made many new friends oh and this year alone Mardy has had 3 different moustaches. He says, "in October Women wear a pink ribbon to help raise awareness for breast cancer, in November the men wear their ribbons on their upper lip to help raise awareness for prostate cancer." I guess that means every Anniversary my wonderful husband will have a moustache.
Last night we went our for our anniversary with Matt and Hannah. We went bowling, Matt won the first game and Mardy killed in the second (he beat me by a hundred points). Then we went out dancing. It was funny to see Mardy just standing there holding our jackets. Finally I convinced him to put them down and come and join me. We didn't stay too long but it was fun. Last night we got a babysitter for the third time since we've been here. As Kimmy was putting her to sleep Raven was doing her Peppa Pig snort and a really big "Ah-shooo". Funny kid.
Raven is doing very well in school. She loves to go and I think she has a little crush on a boy named Rabar. She loves her teachers and she's learning new things every day. She knows more sign language than me, okay actually she's the one that taught me all the sign language that I do know. Raven can count to huit in french and diez in spanish. She asked me for her papillon the other day, I had know idea she was talking about a butterfly.
We're getting low on our funds here so now I really have to find a job. I found one, sort of. I'm invigilating exams (helping get the exams ready and watching the kids and to be there if they need any help). The only problem is that its for a few hours every few months. I have applied for my x-ray registration over here, I won't find out until February if they've accepted me or not. I'm afraid they will think my schooling is too different but I'm still crossing my fingers. I've applied for a few other jobs here but I've had no luck. For every job I apply to there are about a hundred other people applying. Mardy is thinking about doing a placement next year. That means he'll work for a year and then go back to school the following year to finish off. We're hoping that he'd be able to stay around here. We love Bournemouth and it would break our hearts to leave.

Hope everything works out for you guys! On a side note, Jay has an aunt who live in Martock that does the same thing with the exams. Small world!
That sounds like fun. I just can't imagine Mardy not dancing. We go bowling about once a year. Thats enough for me. Happy Anniversary, I really hope you can get a job, we'll pray for you!
Happy Anniversary! I hope everything works out for you to stay where you want to be. Just remember that whenever one door closes another opens and there is a master plan. Love you!
