We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams - we really are. We've seen some amazing sights, grown as a couple, and throughly enjoyed living life in England.<br />
<br />
However.<br />
<br />
There is a downside.<br />
<br />
We miss out on things. I missed my best friend's wedding shortly after we got here. We weren't able to take part in moving Jery's mom into her new home. We missed the birth of Jery's younger brother. I missed another good friend's wedding this past weekend. I will miss the birth of my best friend's baby in a few months. It's not feasible to fly home to be at every special occasion, we can't jump on a plane and head west any time something happens.<br />
<br />
Yes, yes - I knew we would miss things when we moved over here. I knew military life would be difficult at times. I married the love of my life and he happens to be an Airman. I wouldn't change it for the world, I will follow him wherever the Lord might take us without thinking twice about it. I only wish it was easier to miss out on things. To miss the life that is happening back home, the things that must go on with us or without us.<br />
<br />
Though life will continue to go on, today my heart is heavy with the memories we will miss out on. Probably the only downside to living overseas.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089649996842791236.post-35600949092636586012011-01-04T21:07:00.000+00:002011-01-04T21:07:26.712+00:00here's to 2011.I've never been a big "New Year's resolutions" kind of a gal - simply because I've never been really good at keeping them - but this year I'm gonna try something new. Goals. Things which are measurable, obtainable, and practical. Last year I said I wanted to buy a sewing machine and learn how to use it. On black Friday my sweet husband allowed me to spoil a Christmas gift and purchase one, but 2010 ended with my totally awesome sewing machine still in its box. This year I'm going to set goals, and I'm going to achieve them. period.<br />
<br />
So here's to 2011 being an amazing year for the Huddleston's.<br />
<br />
1. USE my sewing machine.<br />
<br />
2. Send birthday/anniversary/thank you cards and gifts ON TIME.<br />
<br />
3. Blog.<br />
<br />
4. Get to goal. (I began a weight loss journey with Weight Watchers UK in July and have lost 30 pounds! I am 10 pounds from reaching my goal weight!!)<br />
<br />
There they are folks, for everyone and anyone to see. Goals for 2011. On day 4 of 2011 I have blogged and sent one birthday card out on time! The Lord has amazing plans for our little family this year and I can't wait to watch Him lead us.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089649996842791236.post-42075559234040312602010-12-31T12:59:00.001+00:002010-12-31T13:08:33.117+00:00hello world.It's been a long while.<br />

He sent me a text about 830 saying he was getting on the plane and he would let me know when they landed. About two hours later I got a page in my classroom asking if I could step out - I said no - so they sent someone. I went to the front and they said I had a phone call. *really? who calls me at work!?* I picked up the phone and it was our friend Jeff who was suppose to be on this plane headed to Africa with my husband. He told me one of the flight chiefs wanted to talk to me. I don't think I'll ever forget his words. "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Camii</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Jery</span> had an incident on the plane, we've turned the plane around, landed back on base, and they're taking him to the ER. He's fine, but if you could just meet him there as soon as you can." I don't even think I responded - he gave the phone back to Jeff and he promised me he was "fine" but told me to head over there. With tears rolling down my face I walked out of the office and told work I was going to meet my husband at the ER. Of course I have to work 50 feet from the ER and he was about 15 minutes away. Those 15 minutes felt like an eternity! They couldn't tell me what was wrong with him... but I wasn't stupid.. you don't turn planes around for nothing. I sat in my car in the parking lot and told myself I had to pull it together - crying wasn't going to help the situation. I asked the Lord for strength and peace and walked inside. I didn't know how he was getting to the ER nor did I have any idea what to expect - so I sat there. When I saw ambulance lights in the window my heart dropped to my stomach. I got up and looked out the window just as they opened the back doors - as soon as they did I saw his backpack and knew it was him. I watched them pull his stretcher out.. he was covered in blankets and all I could see was his head. As soon as he was in the building I went up to the window and let the guy know that he was my husband *because he couldn't possibly have figured that out on his own..* he calmly told me they were getting his room ready and would let me back as soon as they could. So I sat there again. At some point the ever so nice and calm technician came out and told me I could come on back. I walked into the room and there in a hospital bed covered in cords laid my handsome husband. Eyes open and alert. PRAISE YOU LORD were my first thoughts - he's alive and breathing! Quickly followed by what is wrong?! Turns out he stopped breathing about an hour or so into the flight. The stewardess came to ask him what he wanted for breakfast - he answered her - and when she came back he wasn't breathing. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Fortunately</span> because of the type of squadron he is in they had a medic on board. He claims he has never had to slap someone so hard in his life, but he was able to get <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Jery</span> to wake back up. He hooked him up to an IV and stayed with him until they were on the ground again. In the ER than ran several more tests on him trying to rule out seizures. None of his results came back irregular and we left the ER with no real explanation as to what happened. God is so good - our Healer, our Strength, and our Comfort. A couple months later we still have no real explanation as to why he stopped breathing, but nothing has happened since then to give us any concern. He has seen doctors and run more tests and everything comes back normal! </div><div> </div><div>So he didn't go to Africa. and I didn't blog. but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">i'm</span> gonna! </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089649996842791236.post-38626060153961484472010-04-23T19:12:00.003+01:002010-04-23T19:16:57.574+01:00new job.I have started a new job and my blog sucks.

We plan to celebrate our April wedding as our anniversary, but since it was our first I thought we should do something! <div>A year ago this past weekend I married the man God created just for me. We fit together perfectly and complete each other's personalities. Things that stress me out are an easy fix for him. When I am an emotional wreck he is my rock. He likes to clean the parts of the house I hate to. He doesn't have a problem eating left overs, and I can't stand them *I will say I am getting better on this one!* Doing speeches make him so nervous, and I can do them easily. I love to cook and bake, he's confused in the kitchen. Saving money is a struggle for him, I prefer to save. Honestly I could go on and on. We are just perfect for each other. </div><div>We spent the first few months of our married life planning our big wedding. It was a perfect day. I only wish it hadn't gone by so fast. People constantly told me before our big day that I needed to slow down and enjoy the entire day. I tried. I made a conscious effort to see the little things in the day, to enjoy every moment, to not stress over anything and thank God for everything. I did all of these things, but it didn't slow down. I walked out of the room and down the isle to my handsome man standing in Air Force blues. We held hands and said our vows. Kissed and walked back up the isle. Everything was perfect. </div><div>After the wedding was over we spent another month in Abilene as I worked to finish my bachelor's degree. Then we said good-bye to our friends, family, and our two pups and boarded a plane. Flew on the longest flight of my life. My husband of course had done this before so he was able to calm my fears and assure me everything was going to be just fine. </div><div>We landed in a foreign country without a return trip ticket. The days that followed are somewhat of a blur. We embarked on the most amazing journey. Spent a couple weeks in a hotel, then moved into our house and began unpacking everything!</div><div>We traveled to Bury St. Edmunds, Cambridge, Great Yarmouth, Dover, Ely, London, Bathe, Stonehenge, and our favorite trip - Germany. We have seen things we never dreamed of seeing. I've flown in a C-130 over the Dover Cliffs. </div><div>By the grace of God and the help of my mom we figured out how to put both our dogs on an international flight. Jery has been promoted, and I couldn't be more proud of him. We have met amazing friends. Mastered driving on the wrong side of the road. We have celebrated both of our birthdays, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years together in a foreign country. We have started going to church consistently, and it's been life changing! </div><div>We have done so much as a couple, and it's only been one year! Only a lifetime more to go! It's been fun, hard, stressful, delightful, educational, adventurous, scary, and so rewarding. I wouldn't change a thing! I can't wait to see what God has in store for us for our second year of marriage! </div><div>Thanks for joining us through this adventure! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a picture of us on our anniversary!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbWN7Kqp4kFSO-nMgy6w70H6k9su2IZHtOJ7zLHYGH1mwBKusgYVaj17WTsFRjlo0OhyfwQBZxfUIQ-ZXGqdneWUDfJTdn8bmzdORsulUcMrt4IRWCvvXC1JjPYlOtcrKUO6ZN6AQjGyo/s1600-h/IMG_4616.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbWN7Kqp4kFSO-nMgy6w70H6k9su2IZHtOJ7zLHYGH1mwBKusgYVaj17WTsFRjlo0OhyfwQBZxfUIQ-ZXGqdneWUDfJTdn8bmzdORsulUcMrt4IRWCvvXC1JjPYlOtcrKUO6ZN6AQjGyo/s320/IMG_4616.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433601823950000130" /></a><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089649996842791236.post-71745668865789438012010-01-18T18:26:00.001+00:002010-01-18T18:29:29.092+00:00dear headaches.<div>please go away.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoGkBk7bexdjuT1IPSYMifR8VY-io59ZhfqyPeL8lDFmfXsjH6DOOR6_rNYXM1tsnav0sCFI2u8B3YrZZ3q194q2ng_XB96qcz_coUCiC3oSLDEU6_fd0e6quiwJ8znoreijiRRx0jwWs/s1600-h/Bulldog.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoGkBk7bexdjuT1IPSYMifR8VY-io59ZhfqyPeL8lDFmfXsjH6DOOR6_rNYXM1tsnav0sCFI2u8B3YrZZ3q194q2ng_XB96qcz_coUCiC3oSLDEU6_fd0e6quiwJ8znoreijiRRx0jwWs/s320/Bulldog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428148522227555858" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">thank you. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089649996842791236.post-3317348746713080892010-01-15T12:58:00.002+00:002010-01-15T13:07:36.708+00:00well it happened.<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">After almost EIGHT *holy cow we've lived here almost eight months.......* of living in a 220v environment the inevitable has happened. I blew something up. And that something was our printer! You see when you move to a foreign country such as this place the plugs are different. They're shaped different yes, but thats not the important part. They run off a different voltage. And when you move to this said foreign country from the states - it's a problem. Cause ya know, us Americans - we gotta be different! So we run our plug ins off 110v. Simply meaning - my stuff won't plug in. Some companies though have gotten "smart" and created dual voltage, so all you need is a little adapter. These companies are my friends. Dell, Apple, Lexmark, HP, Kodak - just to name a few. </span></div></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So anyway.

It made my morning and made my Christmas - it also made me cry. <div><br /></div><div>Being away from family during the holidays makes being military feel real. When we were in Texas we were always able to be around family. It was just <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jery's</span> job, and we lived basically normal lives. Being half way across the world, being military is our lives. It's made this job, this career, become real. My husband serves our country, and I support him in every way possible - it's just what we do! We could not possibly be more blessed to have an amazing group of Jesus loving friends to spend the holidays with, this year they will be our family. Our military family. Our British family as one of our friends like to put it. It's what you do, and those of you who are military - you get it. Those who aren't, just trust us, we aren't alone for the holidays. While our hearts at back home with our families, we're here and we're having a blast. </div><div><br /></div><div>I know our families are missing us this holiday season, and we only dream of being together one day. We miss you terribly and can't wait to celebrate the holidays with you again. So do something special with us in mind! Know that we love you and miss you too! </div><div><br /></div><div>We pray all our friends and family - no matter where in the world you are - have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Celebrate our Saviors birth. For HE is the reason for the season!! </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089649996842791236.post-24021478848224238582009-12-22T11:50:00.003+00:002009-12-22T12:12:32.951+00:00a christmas party.<div style="text-align: left;">Who knew that you could realize so much through a little ol' Christmas party. God is good. He is everywhere, and He is teaching me lessons wherever I am in life - including the squadron Christmas party.</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the weekend we went to Jery's squadron's Christmas party. It really was a nice night out and a good excuse to get dressed up! What I wasn't prepared for is the lesson God was going to teach me. Shortly after we found our seats they "began" the party with a slide show. It probably lasted 8 minutes or so, but it taught me a life long lesson. </div><div><br /></div><div>The last Christmas party we were at I could name everyone in every picture they showed. We knew people. People knew us. We wandered the room and chatted all night with people we KNEW. </div><div><br /></div><div>I saw two pictures of people I knew. One was my husband, and the other was our good friend who was sitting next to us. In a room full of 200+ individuals I knew three people. We are the newbees. For the first time in almost 7 months, I felt NEW. For the first time in almost 7 months, I realized what my husband felt in our first weeks here. He was he one who had to walk into a NEW building, on a NEW base, and meet all these NEW faces. I just went along my merry way learning how darn inconvenient this country is, and complaining about it. Complaining about how long it took to get Internet, how empty our house felt without our belongings, how I would probably never learn to drive on the wrong side of the road or how to count pounds. How silly I was. My husband never complained once. Never hinted at complaining about being the NEW guy, about leaving all the guys he KNEW and having to learn to work with a group of strangers, he never said a word about how difficult it must have been to leave a plane he could have worked on in his sleep and coming to a plane that is completely NEW. </div><div><br /></div><div>As I sat and watched the slide show I wanted to cry. To ask for forgiveness for how selfish I was. And to trust the Lord that next year I'll know a few more faces. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our God is an awesome God. He met me where I was and showed me an area in my life that I need to become more selfless and more supportive of my airman. I was speechless as I leaned to kiss his cheek and thank him for the man of God he is. I am so very blessed. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here's a couple pictures for you to enjoy:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My handsome husband and my new hair do!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_FyFNQM7wA6fUAySYuOSFiGdwFOtSLcNU5ZPSuJkhwTLXxSF3Np42CbIgk1Ih24A1y-yOobzW39QyHu4VzdovqzucWjGxJFfZ_o2OLJmWnZ5WBMz0dy8P-sfjOqY7SKjqaw-BgP3hpwo/s320/IMG_4468.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">These guys rock our socks off.

Of course working with 9-12 year <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">olds</span> there was plenty of screaming and running towards the windows to watch it snow. There's something about snow that makes kids act as though they've never seen it before. I wish I could live my life through their eyes sometimes. All I could think about was the ice that was going to be covering the roads that lead to our little bungalow. But at some point I did leave, and I drove very slowly, but safely, home.</div><div><br /></div><div>Friday morning we woke to a snow covered ground. SNOW. In our front yard!!!! Being from Texas this is a first for me. For <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Jery</span> it's no biggie. He'll even drive to the BX in it. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is the kind of snow I like. Snow where I have no where to go. I can bundle up in as many layers as I possibly can, and head outside with our pups. Samson LOVES the snow. As we figured he would - he LOVED the sand volleyball court in Abilene.

That's five months without:</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">our families, </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">the majority of our friends, </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">a walmart, </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">a target,</div><div><div style="text-align: center;">a bed bath and beyond, </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">good Mexican food - wait - good food period, </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">normal television, </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">American roads, </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">or American time zones. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>BUT I have to say we're blessed. In these five months:</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">we have been on more road trips than we have in the four years we've known each other,</div><div style="text-align: center;">we have seen amazing places, </div><div style="text-align: center;">we have learned to rely solely on each other, </div><div style="text-align: center;">we've figured out how to drive on the other side of the road, </div><div style="text-align: center;">we've memorized British currency, </div><div style="text-align: center;">we have mastered bringing our dogs into the UK (with some help from my mama!), </div><div style="text-align: center;">we've learned what a Tesco's is, </div><div style="text-align: center;">we have laughed harder than ever before,</div><div style="text-align: center;">we have cooked at home more often than not,</div><div style="text-align: center;">we've fallen more in love with each other,</div><div><div style="text-align: center;">we have made some fabulous friendships, </div><div style="text-align: center;">but most importantly we have seen the faithfulness of God and the importance of a prayerful heart. </div><div><br /></div><div>We have discovered that there is alot to living in the UK that no one warns you about. No one tells you how inconvenient life is without a Walmart. Everyone leaves out that fact that traveling on a British economy is rather expensive. They don't want you to know that in the summer time your house will be infested with flies and it will seem as though you live in a third world country. You wouldn't want to know that in the winter time there is only 6-7 hours of daylight. If they told you how annoying not having closets is - you wouldn't want to leave yours. They could even forget to tell you how a day trip to London makes all this seem petty - I've figured that out on my own.They probably won't mention that leaving all your friends behind sucks - but it's only God's way of opening doors to new friendship. The best part is, you can keep all your old friendships! </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So when I get home sick, annoyed at the inconvenient way of life, or just bored of the four walls of our house I do something like this: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I take the Tube to London to stand in front of the Towers Bridge to let my husband take a picture. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuMbaBFRtsSYNa6mYNRdSVimsEfViuGit_qmoO-6fseWZCvXoz2OXgRtyAEnFdm-YLuCLGlsjHRx-fWzaaj3t-cbwRZbPevOuJ6pf2tf7qzBB1WV8lrMhyjmOWTqie9NUos9AiB3m-F0/s320/IMG_2826.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then of course, I take a picture of him. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fjaA-jdAUPhJ1YNlA6O7Vl_fXI1XR5cTNczBLqpfrr9RVc4Kpy0Iyup44zKQzfM95Dv7meaGaECX4KpmWJjud3QoDpeE5eOKF5Rjy_INq6zKvrc-gZt94tOiVdjXcve9a1ImYx_fuAU/s320/IMG_2840.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I convince myself to get on something like this.. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_3ccXShtznpw-E0pRnLIe0xDeJFCfa8GOvv8hHCZ6VcjS52OhIlmqBpRkawofz5etz08vC1YiuI1VhvtdnP3tRU3xSH-b5OKSsxEDZXzcrQ_MbW3MKM8loSQis6uxMHMNe_nAlf313gA/s320/IMG_2897.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">to see a view like this.... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9RSGzvtLX_cqIE-sLZLXHi3OT7HR38IKQHvVrsomUh0wMmIuvxpdv2BmCQz724ITbCuBU4dHPTgWtQdL36civdkTTROkQBeyVsgPQP7dk2Z5-c-6GIglxHX_uKbbJZY8nfc78Rj8uikI/s320/IMG_2872.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I definitely take the cheesy phone booth picture with Sharron [my friend I met because God is good in England too!]</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqK5ye1YUHrwuVq64svRdHSuMXvdGpDOHroGhweG6b4kGp5dCSU1tiTF_hU0EBemA-ccy5ErTacgvdLBksDnchqd1OWQUS9DctdJ762tRrvbRd34cnSKUWvp6SJP9gc0B-HBzfJs9C-70/s320/IMG_2909.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I feast my eyes on Buckingham Palace.. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvLXY5vMILMReKt8iDEfgcQmTMLNQr-GxrPRP1spKAXWdPpWzee3Lynm2eSzDn4gswn-NU1xjhDoPgeAg-1iCWcIwdkDdnmYVmNdT4-6TCmkaMPbPsF0UptOXXcquTKv78ETjqoicw5JA/s320/IMG_2921.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then do a Charlies Angel's pose on its lawn. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeY4EjVVwUc1aLj8OzFU6aGbv0UnRzEV8rf6G7sj4jFaoio6uaVv4IwZSQ5VYKtN5iKcFl3L4DF5Xp28aozS_iDPQKWR1P5gelWmOxoqe-ntUWs60N2J5QfaGI9C-7Gdn68ekDeAUNsS8/s320/IMG_2928.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I discover that there's a China Town in London. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQHZEyyGIxw0uApzkOtGB07HPVSYhFNGNeDQwybVvkWux_yGcMSXIUvgrQ8jWgXGKtB0MgJPkXCqpblxsh7GeivuMIa-ZOY7gDIG13dMg9R11G3yyAvGHYcxGM5qdhmVCKWLS4VVxpBt4/s320/IMG_2935.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That these are being replaced by newer, uglier, not nearly as cool, more modern buses. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnayAVMJ1NYbwPnsRUjJ9IMUPLi-wGWRAOmT2r9wSwPhnf7l10YNU0C09ATWar2GkW0at0neG5q1ZuGZ7JJcmowpYbKb0tu0SCfWkMlbLO3p5Fmbc2Ba0tCUneMPtULB1TElAMDqbrTc/s320/IMG_2940.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And I use my cell phone's "Sat Nav" to find this.. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiBa4AtAAywH4Om_t64WE5RnA-bDSgvxn9WHMZJ8Ephl9ZMPHr4cNnweE1tS7dc6SIQvrAe3XHkAqAubY2lPmmd0U-Gvqrz6pkBEXm8HzVWjICPy8FFjcw1VMot7rR8V2vYwTaSrkYwbo/s320/IMG_2943.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Then I take the Tube back home, and am thankful for our cute little bungalow we call home.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A little over a year </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">4. Who asked who out?<br />He said he really liked me, I said I really like him - wow that seems cheesy now, but at the time it was life changing! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />5. How old are each of you?<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">He's 24 and I'm 23</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">6. Did you go to the same school?<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Nope </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">7. Are you from the same home town?<br />Nope - He's from IL and I'm from TX! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />8. Who is the smartest?<br />We are both brilliant in our own areas. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />9. Who majored in what?<br />He has majored yet, and I majored in Communication Sciences and Disorders! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />10. Who is the most sensitive?<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Me - hands down. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">11. Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?<br />England! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />12. Who has the worst temper?<br />I think we're pretty equal in that area - both pretty hard to make mad, but once we're mad - we're mad. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />13. How many children do you want?<br />He'd be happy with one, I'd like 3/4 please. </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">14. Who does the cooking?<br />We both cook - depends on who is home! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">15. Who is more social?<br />Me probably. He can come off as shy when he is around people he doesn't know. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />16. Who is the neat freak?<br />Neither of us can stand a dirty/cluttered house. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />17. Who is the most stubborn?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Me - for sure.<br /><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">18. Who wakes up earlier?<br />Right now we get up about the same time, but it depends on what shift he's on. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />19. Where was your first date?<br />Going to Clerks 2 and dinner. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />20. Who has the bigger family?<br />Our families are pretty close in size, but mine is closer in proximity so I see all mine more often. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />21. Do you get flowers often?</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've gotten several bouquets, but dead flowers make me sad - so he normally sticks to something else.<br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />22. How do you spend the holidays?<br />Being military makes that interesting. Being military overseas makes it even more. So far we have spent them with my family for the simple fact that they were closer. But now it'll be just us and friends for several years. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />23. Who is more jealous?<br />Me. I don't think he has a jealous bone in his body. He's the most trusting person I know. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />24. How long did it take to get serious?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I'd say about a year. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />25. Who eats more?<br />He does. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />26. What do you do for a living?<br />He's active duty Air Force, and I'm on the job hunt! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />28. Who's better with the computer?<br />He is way more knowledgeable, but I have more patience with them. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />29. Who drives when you are together?<br />Since moving to England - me. He drives a British car and doesn't care to much to drive my America car. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />30.

I hope that you are all doing well! We are wonderful! Fall is here, and I couldn't be more thrilled to actually live somewhere with four seasons! It's beautiful! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jery</span> completed his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">FTD</span> course last month, which helped him become more familiar with the plane he's working on! And I am applying for a new job! I really do enjoy my job, but it has nothing to do with my career field. So when word got to me that they were hiring at the school, I jumped on it! I won't know until sometime next month, but I am looking forward to hearing back from them! Now for the pictures.. because lets be honest - that's the fun part anyway!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Our squadron held their annual spouse's day and took us up on one of the planes!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRqYrJfTKXZt374ci3Z1vvmecrq2A5iCTCbRMnNTmkV-dqzgUAuKgkeE9buWag_1jTexFOh1J2qS5Gqof2i4bSQvmtZ9lXGigtUgjHtH9EUhaicaVH4gRAKYN_MFy1xd6wsWSReGjrcbs/s1600-h/IMG_4273.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRqYrJfTKXZt374ci3Z1vvmecrq2A5iCTCbRMnNTmkV-dqzgUAuKgkeE9buWag_1jTexFOh1J2qS5Gqof2i4bSQvmtZ9lXGigtUgjHtH9EUhaicaVH4gRAKYN_MFy1xd6wsWSReGjrcbs/s320/IMG_4273.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389788319047004882" border="0" /></a>Here's our chalk getting ready to go!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK2W1ppk5wptiKlH39pMKia10J6mfcYSJbqwNtfb_ewB1BZnvSbKPDpi_XPqB_GM9MB6G-iElHiaO6kN4fqdluvSWOJy5szDho5ajMit8kVCNlVmkPExL7K2ugmn9jlSdBPZRmEXL9Yx0/s1600-h/IMG_4272.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK2W1ppk5wptiKlH39pMKia10J6mfcYSJbqwNtfb_ewB1BZnvSbKPDpi_XPqB_GM9MB6G-iElHiaO6kN4fqdluvSWOJy5szDho5ajMit8kVCNlVmkPExL7K2ugmn9jlSdBPZRmEXL9Yx0/s320/IMG_4272.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389788311240424450" border="0" /></a>We were flying over water so we had to wear life vests and on top of that it was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">flippin</span> cold!

For those of you who aren't aware the OLYMPICS will be in LONDON {approx. 75 miles from my house} in 2012 {and we'll still be here!!!!} I am completely thrilled {even ordered the first of the four official coins}!! I think everyone in the car thought I was NUTS - but that's ok with me..

Think for a second why the United States celebrates the Fourth of July.. Now imagine celebrating it where we are. But it didn't stop us from having a huge celebration - which our friend's daughter <span style="font-style: italic;">A </span>completely enjoyed!
