The West Way

Wow... I guess I should update this since I have been here in England for a month! It really is starting to feel like home (minus good mexican food and family). We are SLOWLY getting the house in order... it's a process. When we received our stuff we asked the movers to unpack everything, which is really a good thing, except now I have stuff EVERYWHERE! Everyday we get more stuff put up and it looks more and more like a house and less like a storage unit.

We are also getting used to Bubba's new work schedule. It's hard that he is gone every other day but he is off for 3 days every other week, which is nice. I will hopefully be starting a job at the Child Development Center in a week or so... hopefully. I'm not completely done with all the paper work, but we a keeping our fingers crossed.

Life here is VERY different from back home. Most things (in our area) are closed by 9pm, some even earlier. It's different getting used to that and the fact that if you want to go out to eat your choices are limited. There is not a whole lot to do around where we live and you have to drive at least 30 minutes for a larger town. (even though it is 15 miles away)

For those who keep asking about the baby (and now that I have internet at home) I will try my hardest to do a better job at keeping you informed. I will also try to convince Bubba to take a belly picture so you can all see. (He thinks belly pictures are weird, whatever) Everything is going good and my last appointment went well. I have an ultrasound on the 17th of this month and we will hopefully find out what we are having :) We are excited and getting a little nervous, but everything in the "baby department" is going good. (Now if we could get the room cleaned out so we can get baby stuff in it)

We miss everyone back home, but are enjoying the time we have together over here. We were able to go to Scotland for a couple of days and go see a couple of castles. We really want to go back and see more, but have to wait on leave and things like that. The weather is nice right now, about high 50's low 60's everyday. It rains every couple of days (usually for about 5 mins) but supposedly we are in a heat wave... I can handle this kind of heat wave.

We will definitely try harder to keep you informed about what is going on in our lives. We miss you all :)
