I wish we could say we are settled, but our furniture and car still has not arrived. No worries, we should HOPEFULLY get everything very soon. Hopefully. Ha. It's the 20th of July, and we were told the 27thISH..so...crossing my fingers! I keep thinking about how NICE it's going to be to zoom around in my little cubical again! It'll be like a little slice of home. I never thought I'd fall in love with that little box, but it has grown on me. In the winter, I'll be able to use my cool little disco dashboard/cup holder lights, since supposedly the sunny days get shorter.That's assuming I'll actually get the little box to move in the snow, of course. It's also going to be nice to hook up my ipod in it, and listen to some REAL music! Ooooh, it's the little things.
I'm getting used to the whole driving thing. I haven't gone down a wrong street yet, *knock on wood*. Yesterday, in an attempt to find a salon that accepts visa cards w/o a smart chip in it, I went to downtown Lincoln..not sure if that's what it is called, but that is what I'll call it. I give myself major points for this little journey into town because it's full of one ways, and two ways on a single lane road, and just some other very confusing roads. I've been avoiding driving thru there, but the time came for me to do it yesterday. I tried to just stay with traffic, and if the gps suggested I went down a road that looked questionable(because the gps has been known to take me down some wrong way roads in the past), I would just keep going past it and let the gps reroute me. I could tell the gps was getting annoyed with my doing this, but it was for the better. I didn't want to end up on some one way road, going the wrong direction. I EVENTUALLY got to my destination, probably about 20 minutes after I should have. BUT, I got some experience driving around Lincoln, and some good scenery, so that's a plus. Also, if you ever visit England, be SURE to use your turn signals. This is very important. They REALLY don't like when you don't, and they will let you know!
All in all, I'm enjoying it here. Well, honestly, no I'm not. I'm trying to enjoy it the best that I can. It's amazing being in England, but then when you can't go anywhere and use your bank card, or ask if they take Visa and they look at you like your stupid, then you're really wishing you were back in America where you don't have to ask that question..99.9% of the time. Or, when you are driving and you really wish you could be on the left hand side of the car, on the right side of the road. OR, if you are looking for something particular in a store and they don't have it..and you really don't know where to go to get it..because if anywhere would have it, it'd be that particular store..and they don't HAVE IT! OR, it's 6 oclock in the evening and that's your potential "ME" time to go out to do some looking around, and then you realize everything closes at 5. OR, you're freezing and it's JULY. OR, it's now a warm day and you have no AC(which, it's really seldom warm, but we've had few days like that). OR, you would love to have internet, but the internet company can't get their crap together and give you a date when they can come out to connect it. So they keep telling you that they will call you the next day with a date, and they never do. OR, you are super hungry and wish there was an Olive Garden or an Applebees, and there isn't..and nothing here sounds good. OR you look at the britsh pound price and realize that you will pay much more than that price. Okay, well enough about venting about why I wish I was back in America...other than the obvious of, OKAY...I miss my dog and my family back home, are we done yet, here?
But really, I'm doing fine. Really. I'm grateful.
I must say, I love getting comments on my blog. I love logging in and seeing that I have comments that need to be moderated. On that note, I'd LOVE to know who is commenting on my blog, so PLEASE give me a hint or put your actual name. lol. One of the comments I got, was from someone named ME. So I clicked on their name "me", and it shows that they also have a blog, with one post. The blog is called "A place for me to scream" and then the title of the first post is conveniently called "My First Post" followed by "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!". Now, this post could very well be written by me, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. So, whoever you are, thanks for the comment! Would love to know who you are tho!! lol.
Well, that is all for now..I must attend to my children and start our day. I hope you all have a great one!!

Hey girl. Jason is trying to get into an exclusive program called the Olmsted Scholars where we would live over seas for 2 years while he gets a masters degree in that country, in their language.... As scary as it is to live in another country, I am praying hard for it. We have been trying to get his detailer to let us overseas but he keeps refusing... I guess my point is, uh, be thankful they speak almost the same language there? If he gets picked up for this program I also have to learn the language, as well as the children... Our options are Hebrew, Japanese, Spanish and French. We REALLY want Israel, as hard as it would be, but that is our big desire.

Before I forget, this is Amy. Haha.
And that would have been ME who commented!! But I'm pretty sure that somewhere on blogspot, they have me as Amy. So, sorry for the confusion. I really haven't kept up with my blogs. :p
I'm glad you're trying to make the most of it. Although some things are frustrating being different than what you're used to, I'm sure that it's not as hot and humid there as it is in Florida. :p Give hugs to the kids for me. Miss you guys, but love the blogs. ;)
