You're moving to England?

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.
