'ello friends...


















So the big news in our lives is we are moving to ENGLAND!! Can you believe it? I know I still can hardly believe it. Orders came down and we are all thrilled! We will be leaving Florida the end of July. I know what you're thinking "but you love Florida Robin." And I do, I really do love this place but I am dying to experience living abroad. All the history, architecture, pubs, villages, cobblestone streets, fish and chips, pubs, well you get the idea.

We have decided as a family that we would like to live off base once we get there. We really want to get the full European experience by living with the locals. On our way to England we will be stopping in Arizona for a week or so to see the family and friends again. It won't be likely we will make it back to the states this Christmas so this visit will be very important to us.

Also before anyone starts to panic yes, we are taking Princess with us. Our little 4 pound Chihuahua. She is part of the family and there is no way I could leave her behind. It's a lot of work getting a pet into England but she is worth it.

So stay tuned and I promise to try and write more often, thanks for stopping by...Cherrio!

I am sure you will enjoy your stay in England and I think it is great that you want to live off Base that way you get to know everyone on a much friendlier basis ~ enjoy your Fish and Chips (They always taste better if you eat them out of the paper while sitting in your car :o) ~ Good Luck with the move ~ Ally x

It will be exciting for you all ! Glad you get to make the visit before heading out. One of my sons was stationed in England once for 3 years and loved it.

Linda gave me the link to your blog so I can now say 'Welcome to England' when you finally come over!! Let me know if you need any advice on anything, do you know where you'll be based yet?

Uhmmmm Arizona is NOT on the way to England lol. I know you're excited and have mixed emotions. Cheerio is a greeting not a cereal....and the water closet is NOT where they keep the cooler lol.
Have fun, we're all still just a blog or email or facebook away. What a wonderful experience for Gabby!!
