Travel Slackers.

Well, we've been major travel slackers lately. But, in our defense, we've got a lot going on.... we put in our 2 month notice on our house and we've decided to move. I know, I know, we have a fabulous house in a wonderful town, but its far away from Christopher's work, we're tired of not having a parking space/driveway, and our letting agency is slacking off on taking care of things they should. So, we're moving. We're still on the great hunt for a house, but we're hoping to find one soon.

I'm settling into my new job and loving it! I'm making friends, which is fantastic! Its been so hard to make friends out here and since I'm finally out and about I'm meeting people!

So, I promise, within the next couple of months we'll have something more interesting to post about than ordinary life...that's not what ya'll are signing in for, I'm sure....lol

Working woman...

Well, not much is going on the travel front over here in England. But, I got a job!

About 6 weeks ago or so, I started working at the CDC (Child Development Center) on base working with kids. I thought I'd love it, having been a nanny before, but it was AWFUL. The people weren't nice, there were looong days, and let me tell you right now, when its the snot/spit up/drool/whatever of a kid you love, its fine, but when you go home at the end of the night covered in stranger's kid's nastyness, its pretty disgusting. So, I put in for a transfer and started this week at the Britannia Inn, the hotel on base. I'm a guest service representative and so far, I really like it. I think its definitely going to be a great fit!

Angus is doing well...he's huge and still crazy, but we love him! Here's a picture of him the other day on his walk (which he is OBSESSED with)...

In other news, I started a new blog. Most of you know, we've been trying to get pregnant for over 3 years now, and we got some great news on starting our journey with IVF, so instead of clogging up our travel blog with infertility stuff, I started this:

Hope everyone is doing well!
