Yes folks, it's true. We're heading to the United Kingdom. I think we'll have to get our own double decker bus to tour around in? Seems a family of 5 is big these days :) We were given the opportunity... and had to make a quick decision. After much heming and hawing... praying... seeking advice... flipping coins... playing spin the bottle (what? Ok we didn't do that) -- we decided to go. We felt like itw as the opportunity of a lifetime - so with some sadness, bitterness, worry and maybe even a touch of regret before we even leave - we said yes. While we're nervous and overwhelmed -- more importantly we're excited, thrilled, nervous (in a good way), anticipating so much and just happy to have the chance!
No - we aren't moving closer to "home" which is always kinda our goal... but, well... if you know me well enough you would expect this decision from me :) Sounds like something that Kristi would do is what you're all saying in your heads now! Pack up her family after just buying a house and settling down... moving overseas witha 2 year old... 3.5 year old and newborn for goodness sakes! Subject her family and friends to an even longer flight and more time-changes to think about when calling and visiting. Yep - I did it... and I'm suckering in my dear husband along with me.
"Cheerio mates". Oh wait... that's not right. "Bloody hell" - yes yes, that's right BUT not so appropriate (even though they said it in Harry Potter!). Let's just go with "Long live the Queen" -- that one works? Meh -w hatever. We'll learn.
