my toes hurt from being stepped on. does that make sense?
it does to me.
more to come.

oh my stars!!
so last night i was having one of the best sleeps in my life. honestly.
then at approximately 430 in the morning i was awoken by a horrendous sound. what could that sound be you may ask?! well it was the blaring of the fire alarm. at 430 am.
so we all had to get out of our apartments and stand in the hallway by the door. I am greatful for the fact that our door is just there so i didnt have to go far. And then this guy came round to tell us there was infact a fire in the electric room and that the fire brigade were coming and to go get warm things on cause we would have to be outside. so we did.
and then we all stood in the hallway again waiting. and whislt we were a woman came down with her cat. so funny. and then around 5 am the guy came back and said it was safe and sound and that would could go back to bed.
it took me like 30 minutes to fall back to sleep.
so. that was my night. haha. before that i watched a show with josh and evie about special needs pets. so funny. there was a little dog with a balance problem so its owners bought it a special dog wheelchair. i had a good laugh. and then went home to what i thought would be a peaceful sleep. oh my!!
haha. but it is pretty funny looking back. i slept until 10 past 10 and i enjoyed every second of that!!
Time to get back to work.

The other day i talked to my friend Jesse on the telephone and it was amazing!! we had a nice talk and it made me happy. and then i hung out with the lord and that was amazing too!! and then!!!!! I started to read my book! it is called HOUSE! its a ted dekker/frank perettie book. frank is my very favourite chrisitian fiction writer. Honestly i highly recommend that you read something of him!

nice and nice.
So i went to hemel this week. Was wonderful.
The drive up was fast as can be but enjoyable. Watched a film with josh and Jeanie and that was great! we had a portable dvd player and three sets of head phones. well good! haha. and we had some treats to eat too.
Then we got to hemel and had some mcdonalds. that was nice and then went. It was two days. I got a hotel to myself. that was nice too. and then the next day was a busy day. was all day. It reminded me of being at the school and going to conferences and all of that. but was good. Then at the night they prayed for all the people that were under 25 and that is me!! and josh and charlotte and naomi and some others and it was AMAZING!
This lady prophesied all this stuff over me and i was like woah. no way!! was really good. Really nice. and then we left that night after the service.
and that was about 1130. guess what time i got home? Josh says it was 145. but either way. acording to mapquest.co.uk it is meant to take 3 hours and 39 minutes. we did it in 2ish hours! and at one point i noticed we were going 104 miles per hour. that is in english miles. Was shockingly fast though. I tried to sleep but it did not happen.
Hemel was great though. I got to talk to John Arnott. and saw two people that i met in Denmark last summer! cool
and it was warmed up there. that was lovely!!!

It is so cold at the moment.
I am not in anyway enjoying being here cause its freezing cold and i dont like being here. erm. I am cold and want to be at home. England is stupid in the winter cause the heating sucks.
"oh you shouldnt be cold. you are Canadian. what is wrong with you" could it be that in Canada we turn the heating on in the winter and dont sit around in the cold weather? I think that the answer is yes.
Basically today sucks and i dont want to be here at all.

On the Road Again!
Guess what my people.
I drove in England. no lie. and it wasnt even my idea! i was told to do it!! of course i did not have to be begged. I did it very willingly.
it was not a long journey. just across the estate, but it was more driving then i have done in the past 7 months. so i was happy. and then when i was totally done it was the weirdest experiance.
I threw the keys to josh. it was just weird because it was something that i never would have expected to happen you know?? so i was a very happy girl. and i drove on the "wrong side" but it was the English correct side. sooo fun!! and there may be some more driving in the near future!! haha.
Well. that is all. what a trill eh. soo great!!
kjd.

walking...
So here in England my main mode of transportation is my feet. sometimes it is in Joshes car but mostly it is my feet. and i dont mind. sometimes it is a little wet and that is no fun but usually i just tuck the bottom of my jeans into my socks, a trick a friend showed me, and i am fine.
Well. On the night of October 15 2008 at approximately 937 i was walking home from church and it had been raining. there were puddles on the road. mostly next to the side walk. i was walking. cars were driving. I saw one coming so i waited till it drove by and then walked past the puddle. then the next time i was not so wise.
The car came. I walked. it hit the water at about 30 miles per hour. i was in the wrong place and the wrong time and was then covered in dirty england puddle water. head to toe. i had just showed that day and was wearing clean jeans. the only joy in this event was that i had on a winter jacket.
so then i said something i regret. (a swear) and cried all the way home. well to Evies house.
how sucky is that. i am shocked that people think that splashing people while they drive is funny. you can get a ticket for it here. for real. I saw it on the news.
but i have since recovered and dried off. I think by tomorrow i will be able to laugh about it.
Maybe.

Seven Months Later
So. I have been in England for 7 months.
Erm. What can i say. I am close to Blackpool but not in Blackpool. But i like it here.
England is a good country. It calls to me and says "stay Karlye"
Today i am staying late because i cant be bothered to go all the way home and come back. I have kids cell tonight! i do enjoy that! and then tonight i go home and sleep and then in the morning i can have a proper sleep in!! oh i do like that too. Yesterday was my day off and i watched three films. not in a row. I took a break to make pasta bake. pasta bake i think is not given the props that it deserves. It is so good. cheesy and saucy all at the same time. It comes second best to my darling steak. I do like food. England has yorkshire puddings. so good.
I think that is all i will say today. I am going to read a book i think. maybe knit? I have become somewhat of an old soul being here. i like to call it embracing my inner grandma. everyone has one you know. but sometimes we just forget!!!
Stay Alert, and Stay Safe.
