Its Official....We're Moving to England.

Well I know this sounds silly but we bought our plane tickets today and suddenly it hit me...we are moving to England. I know that we were told about this move a few months ago but I don't think I ever really realized it. We're moving all the way to England. Oh my goodness....breathe.... Ahhh its an adventure right? We're living Sam's dream (and Sam says that I'm living mine by being married to him). :) Everything will be ok though and it'll all work out (at least that's what I'm telling myself). Plus God has a reason He wants us there and all I really have to do is trust in Him.

Well today Sam and I have been running around like crazy people trying to get all this moving craziness figured out. We had a meeting with the movers today and figured out when we are going to send all of our stuff (next week is the first shipment); we applied for my VISA so that I won't get kicked out of the country after 6 months of living there; we bought plane tickets that cost way to much and we won't get it all reimbursed (long story...arg); we found out that our stupid airline (the only one that allows pets) won't let us schedule/reserve two pets spots on the plane until 2 weeks prior to the flight (don't even get me started...) plus they want to charge us an arm and a leg to have the boys flown there, actually 2 arms and 2 legs (oh which we have to pay for ourselves); we made vet appts for the boys to get all their shots and paper work filled out so that they are ok to enter the UK; and we figured out how to ship our car over there. Busy day, uh? Oh but there is so much more we still have left to do. :)

I just want to get there and have all of our stuff (not broken or damaged) and a cute house and know that the boys handled the flight ok and then I think i'll finally be able to relax and be excited that we get the opportunity to live in England. But please continue to keep us in your prayers as we make this move. I tend to get really stressed out and worried about all the little things, oh who am I joking...I stress and worry about EVERYTHING that is involved in this move. I'm just so thankful for a husband who has such a postive outlook and who handles stress like there isn't anything to worry about. I'm a lucky girl because there is no way I could do all of this on my own.

On to a better note...we decided to set up a Vonage phone account so that we will be able to keep a US phone number while we are in England. So that way everyone can call us (on our home phone since our cells will be a UK #) and not have to worry about paying for long distance. If you'd like our new #, send us an email or message on facebook and we'll pass it along. Just remember that there is a huge time difference when you call. ;) Its an 8 hour difference for my fam and friends back in the Pacific Northwest and 6 hours for Sam's fam in the mid-west. Anyone not in those areas. you'll have to figure it out. ;0)
