Ok. I am going to attempt this blogging thing. Blogging seems to be a great way to keep family and friends up-to-date about our life as my husband's military career takes us around the world and away from everyone we know and love. Yes, I know there's Facebook, but you can only post so much in a status update. And only 2 of my many family members are on Facebook. I do not promise any profound statements about life or any mind-blowing insights into human behavior. What I can promise is plenty of snarky sarcasm, recipe postings, crafting projects, pictures of my kids, pictures of our family travels and adventures, and what I'm sure will be the occasional rant. I am not a professional photographer, so bear with my photos until I get a better camera. Also, because of all the crazies in the world, I will not be using anyone's real name except my own. The hubs will just be The Hubs. I think Miss Priss and Little Man will do just fine for the kids.
So, as you all know, we just moved across the pond to Merry Old England. At Christmastime. Ever since I was in the 6th grade and had my first World History class, I have always wanted to come here. It has always been such a magical place, in my mind; the castles; the chivalrous knights. So much history. So much wonderful literature. And here I am. I have the chance to visit so many places that I have only read about. I can't wait to get settled and start traveling.
As for getting settled, we have been here in base lodging for a little over a week. We have looked at, at least, a dozen houses. We found one that we really liked, but the owner was giving us the run-around. We have found another one that we like, and hopefully, this is the one. I am ready to get Miss Priss enrolled back in school, and for the Hubs to go back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love my family. But when the four of us are together all day, every day......let's just say we all need a break from each other.
Everything is so green here. A very welcome change from the dry, brown-ness of Texas. Yes, it's wet, and yes, it's cold, but right now, I don't care. There is green everywhere!!! Soft, green grass. Moss is everywhere; on rooftops; in between the bricks on the sidewalk. As we've been driving around, there have been so many times where I just want the hubs to pull the car over so I can get out and take pictures. There are honest-to-goodness thatched roofs here, people. I was going to post some pictures from my phone, but I seem to be having technical difficulties.
That's it for now. I'm going to go have a nice hot cuppa for my poor sore throat.
