Set Sail

So the blog has taken a backseat- or quite literally it was thrown out the window for awhile.
As we were prepping for our move back home- we got a curve ball- amazing work opportunity (in England) for Chris that literally came in after we shipped our stuff back. ( 3 days after the ship left England-)
It is probably good I did not blog during that period or you would sense RAGE and ANGER about the timing of the events. I was very hung up on the fact that my iphone 4 was waiting for me at my sister's house ( don't even get me started about not seeing my sister on a weekly basis ). Even now I can't quite laugh at the situation as it was a good thing we were in a hotel so I couldn't throw the tv at my husband's head. We eventually made the decision to stay together ( I swear I wasn't under duress)- we felt that if we could limit our moves this would be the way to do it while having a great work opportunity for Chris. (Btw I literally consumed all the Hidden Valley Ranch and Salsa in the runup to our move back home and am now kicking myself)

So where are we now- kind of back where we started in a rental corporate townhouse with none of our stuff ( because it seems our stuff had to arrive in TX go through customs and set sail again)-the positive side is we have friends now so we have borrowed clothes, toys, etc. We spent a month in MI and TX and yes I hit Nordstroms, Pei Wei (3x), 7-11, Target, Red Robin, Tex Mex, the movies ( oh I miss my butter popcorn and icy fountain gallon drink with ice. The kids are fine for them- their little world will be consistent back to the same school and same play friends .


Other news had my first of 2 English weddings- observations a lot of hats and feathery combs sported by the ladies. ( I tried one and it looked so stupid on me that I could not wear it)2) best man speeches are WAY over the top- all I can write is nothing is sacred in that roast. 3) the Brits just plain drink a lot more (probably an added effect since there were Kiwis and Australians there)
