Last few days in England

We have just over a week left in England. Eight days before we fly out. It's bitter sweet. Iam glad to be going back to the States and I am thrilled about being closer to family. However, I am going to miss England terribly. My younger 2 sons grew up here. This is their home. They only know England. It is going to be quite different for them.

Wednesday will be our last night in this house. This is the house Griffin grew up in. He was 2 months old when we moved in. It's his home. He is really excited about moving, so that's good. He can't wait to get a new room. :)

We we be leaving a ton of great friends behind. The great thing is we have friends in Texas. At least we aren't arriving not knowing anyone. That should make the transition easier.

We have gotten the hook-up on a church. It seems nice. David is already getting emails from some of the youth. I have been talking with someone from the church via email. Thanks so much to Melissa for passing on our info.

Our phone and internet is being turned off on Wednesday. We will be able to check our email and such once we are in billeting, if their wireless works. :) We final out of housing on Friday. Dave finals out of the base on Tuesday. After he's done with that we are taking a taxi to London and staying the night at a hotel near the airport. We fly out at 12:35 pm UK time and will arrive in St. Louis around 6:30pm their time, if all goes smoothly with our connection in Chicago. We will be spending the night near the port and heading out to Mom's on Thursday morning. Hopefully the truck will be there when we get there. :)


So, this will be my last blog post for a while. :) Don't miss me too much. LOL
