Morning
Guess its time for an update before the year runs out and not much seems to have changed this year, I am still in the same job at Fitsystems in Brighton which I enjoy, still with my lovely wife and Daughter living in the same flat in Haywards heath.
But taking a closer looks things are moving on,my wife has in the last year passed a course in Child care and her driving theory test and has got permanent leave to remain in the UK.
My daughter has settled well in to both nursery's and we are waiting to hear what school she will be going to in September and is getting increasingly independent and now has a book instead of a blankie and enjoying Octonauts on Cbeebies.
In the last year I have passed 2 exams making me now a Microsoft Certified IT professional. and grown my own business see www.TomSeymour.co.uk part time although the website is a work in progress as I am relaunching the company in February having not advertised since August whilst doing exams and working on my future plans.
I am still trying to work out whether to stay in my current role or not as I need to do extra work to survive which I enjoy and there is not much stress as that all gets passed up to my boss. As he does not filter the sensitive areas down to us.

France Holiday.
Morning
In September for a late summer holiday, we spent almost 2 weeks in my parents flat in France. This was the first time I had taken Ju-hee and Hanna there and we had a great time visiting the area fortunately I did not have to practice too much of my French managing to get away with basics and pointing. Although I did give up at the idea of going through a MacDonald's drive through on my own. But that was mostly due to the fact there was a big queue and everything was on the other side.
Due to the very warm autumn we have been having we still managed some beach time and I enjoyed a swim in the sea. We also did some other sight seeing, although Hanna was disappointed that none of the castles had princesses in them. But the view from the top was worth climbing for especially in Apremont.
Hanna asked me a few weeks afterwards if we could go to the big boat where daddy's car can have a party in the bottom so I guess she remembers the trip. She enjoyed the bunk beds on the ferry and had trouble deciding which one to stay in even after the lights went out.
Since my last blog, I have passed the Microsoft exam 70-680 which means I am now a Microsoft windows 7 technology specialist and I am taking another exam next week to compliment this. I am also still working for Fitsystems and independently although I have decided to stop advertising whilst I work out our long term plans in order to keep progressing.

Ju-hee's mum visiting
Morning, it is still getting difficult to update this blog a lot seems to happen but not much change. We recently had Ju-hee's mum visit which was good and interesting to get to know her more but language difficulties prevailed although she is very easy to get on with and always wants to be helpful.
We did enjoy a trip to Stonehenge and Bath doing the tourist things we do not usually do. I did have to point out that spiritually something was wrong going to church in the morning then a pagan worship site in the afternoon. Although Hanna’s discovery of the cow pat put things in to perspective especially as I was with her at one of the furthest points of the site.
The next day after staying above a town pub (another shock for my mother in law) we went to the town of Bath where we did a bit of shopping and the tour of the city by Bus of which during the second ride Hanna managed to fall asleep on my lap which as we had gone out with out the buggy meant I had to carry her the 20 minute walk back to the car.
Recently we have also been trying to have more people around for supper which is good although keeping the time spare from work can be a challenge.
Yesterday we went to an OMF day at church which was interesting giving details on a few countries in detail and the Diaspora and Millennials (18-35)'s work although unfortunately only 3 millennials where present but plenty of prayer power available. I was also interested in the new (for OMF) idea of going out to start a business as mission. Although I am unsure how to found an IT support company abroad although it is tempting to try. But we have decided to wait for God to lead the way and for me to get my 2 planned MCTP exams out of the way.
Northlands Church is still going well we have a new website at http://www.northlandschurch.org.uk/
Thanks for your continuing interest.
