Last Week in the US!

I blogged a few days ago about getting our visas and passports done, but Blogger ate my post! We finally received them in the mail this past week, just-in-time! We have booked a cottage that was recommended to us by hubbs command. They aren't the best looking, but they will do during our house hunting time. So I feel as though we are on the right track now. I'm feeling pretty confident about things, I have some houses picked out for us to go look at. Hopefully, it won't take us too long to house hunt.

I am feeling anxious about the coming days. I have a Dr. appt tomorrow, and then we have to go apply for our tourist passports(so that we can travel while we are in England and surrounding parts). Then Tuesday, the movers come to pack up our stuff. Wednesday, they load up the truck. Last time the military moved us, they set it up to take 2 days, but it actually only took one. I'm hoping that they'll pack and load the same day, like the last time. Thursday, we are supposed to drive to Orlando and drop off our cube for it to be shipped. And finally Friday, we should be flying out. Although, we still haven't gotten tickets yet, waiting on the Navy for those! We have several small things to do in between all of the above, so it's going to be an extremely busy week! It's hard to imagine that this time NEXT week, we will be in England. I am super excited to be on some quiet land, as the website for our cottage claims it to be. I am worried about transportation tho. I'm hoping we can rent a car until our car arrives. Our stuff isn't supposed to make it to England until the end of July. So, it's going to be different, but we'll manage somehow.

I came across a quote, while reading a blog earlier:

Change is inevitable, growth is optional.

So true! And as always, I'm sure there will be some growth within me during our journey overseas. I have grown a lot in the past several years due to this military lifestyle.

In case I don't update again before our move, due to all the stuff we have to take care of this week, I will update as soon as I can in England! I won't have a phone, or internet, so I'm not sure how long it will take me until I can write my next blog again. Hopefully sooner rather than later!!
