Our First Driving Experience...

Well, Micah and I rented a car today. Let me tell you, driving on the wrong side of the road is a bit more difficult than I first thought it would be:). So far not accidents, but day one isn't quite over. We haven't left base yet with it and probably won't until Monday when we begin house hunting. The speed limits are quite fast off base and those roundabouts are crazy. You know the roundabout by Whatcom, that is nothing like the roundabouts here!! You go zinging through them and just hope you know what you are doing:). I think we will be ready by Monday.
Micah and I are still adjusting to the time difference. We are pretty tired. For those of you in Washington we are 8 hours ahead of you. We have been trying to get up early but that is harder than it sounds. Everyone tells us to just keep getting up at a normal time and after a while things will get better.
Well, we are off to another drivng lesson on base....wish us luck!

Safe and Sound in England...

Hello Everyone!
Micah and I have arrived safely in England. We flew into London last night and got to our hotel around midnight London time. We had a great flight with a little turbulence but nothing too bad. We flew on a 777, what a way to fly. The plane wasn't even close to being a quarter full so we had our choice of seats. We just watched movies and ate some food. Both the meals they served were good, which was a surprise for airplane food.
Micah and I are currently living in a hotel on base and we will be here for a while. Our sponsor family is so great!! Josh works with Micah and his wife is Elizabeth. When we got to our hotel on base this afternoon Elizabeth had already been then with magazines for me and info on local letting(renting) agencies. I opened the fridge to find milk, eggs, meat, cheese... all the basics. She even got the things I would need to make spaghetti just so we wouldn't have to worry tonight about anything. I hope Micah and I have the chance to sponsor someone while we are here so we can do the same for someone else.
We will start house hunting next week and we will keep you all updated on what we find. Once we find a house to live in it could take around a month until we can actually move in. So that just means more hotel living for the two of us. I am very much looking forward to moving into our own house and getting all my clothes back!! It is kind of chilly here, much like Washington, and I am missing my fall clothes:).
Please remember to pray for us as we begin our lives here. We are so excited to be here and we know that God has a plan for us in bringing us here. Check back in a few days for another update!
