and now, #19.

Goodness sakes, friends, what a week it has been.

So.  We had the burglary to deal with last weekend.   Sunday-Tuesday we were dealing with police, scenes-of-crime officers and housing/contracting people.  Wednesday finally felt like a normal day.  We went back to school and were there all day like usual, and then had snowboarding lessons with the youth group.  [The youth group is going on a ski/snowboarding trip in April which we are excited about.]  We come back from our snowless snowboarding lessons to find that our other flat, #19 has a broken lock, due to an attempted burglary.  Great.  So yesterday and today have been spent meeting with police and housing people.  There have also been some issues with our next door neighbor this past week.  Wednesday night he went off on Paul and Barry and was throwing various objects out the window.  Up until a few weeks ago, he was very "normal", but he also has a mental care worker.  

So.  As of now: we have our lock fixed, the police are keeping a closer watch on our street and Antony is getting help at a mental care facility.  [The same care facility that former neighbor #21 is at...maybe they are having a reunion.]  The Biltons and Clarks have been wonderful through this whole ordeal.  I am so thankful to have them supporting us and helping us through everything.  

Hopefully next week won't be as dramatic and exhausting as this week was.
