Schedule FYI

Hello Friends!
Hope all is well. We've been pretty busy around here, especiall Andy as he wraps up his final project for school. The weather has been pretty cold and wet lately, but we're already looking forward to summer.
For those of you thinking of making a trip over, I thought it would be good to inform you of our scheudule. I will be around all summer, I have a pretty steady work schedule. Andy has been blessed with two wonderful opportunties this summer/fall. He will be attending a week long workshop in Denmark around mid-August. Also, he will be going to New York to divise a show and perform around the end of September, beginning of October.
Peace, Mandy

New Job!

Halleluia! After a year-long process, I have finally started my new job. My first week was fun, but it was a bit unusual. We still had to prepare the spa rooms, so I spent most of my days shopping around central London and buying all the necessities. My bosses are long-time partners Mike and Wendy. Wendy and I had a great time shopping together a couple of times and she made sure that we took much deserved dinner breaks to taste the local fair. I felt so spoiled, it was great! So far, my co-workers and the clientelle seem really nice. Also, I work right next to a park, so I get to eat my lunch with my bare feet on the grass, the sun on my face, and the wind at my back.
Other news...I took a Reiki class. It is called an atunement, and there are three levels (first, second, and master - but you can also become a teacher after that). Reiki is really hard for me to describe, especially since I am still learning about it, but it is about using the energy around us to bring healing to the body. I have to practice on myself for 21 days, then I can practice on others. It has been the most peaceful part of my day and I am loving it so far.
Andy is doing well as his school year is wrapping up. They finish at the end of July, but they are already working on final projects and doing some of their weekly routines for the last time. This term, they have been working on stage combat, so he has been learning some marial arts. He is looking ahead for the summer and considering a 3 week trip to New York to devise and perform in a show with some recent graduates of his school.
Lastly, we're getting ready to move. Through a friend of a friend, we came across a really wonderful flat that is just a couple of miles away from my job. My one hour commute will be closer to 20 minutes now.
Sorry there's no pictures, I'll try to post some soon.
Hope you are healthy and happy!
Peace, Mandy
