25 days and Counting...

It's July 2nd and we are going to be taking off in a plane to live in the UK in 25 days. Wow...where did the time go. Addison turns 5 months old tomorrow. Today Kevin and I went to CAT health services to start our medical visits in order to get checked out and start our series' of immunizations. Eventhough the UK is pretty safe in terms of diseases and such they have different strains of things and they don't immunize for a lot of the things we do here in the States. It was quite ironic that Addie was there to lend moral support for her parents this time when we got our shots. I almost forgot how much I hate needles until today. Kevin and I are also on the look out for new bedroom furniture. Since our new house does not have any built in closets we have to find an armour and dresser to hold our digs. We also had a gentleman from Allied movers come today to do a moving survey on our home to see how much stuff we have and if it will fit in the container we are allowed. Right now we only have 1/2 of our 40' sea shipment container and 1/2 of our airshipment container accounted for...so this means we have more room to send over more of Addie's stuff earlier and plenty of room to buy lots more things in the UK before we come back....woo hoo!!! It looks like we'll be living in a furnished apartment for the first two weeks since our house won't be ready until August 14th, so hopefully by the time we get in our house our air shipment will make it to us and then a couple weeks later all of our stuff will be moved into our new home. Don't worry...CAT is helping us out by stocking the apartment and/or house will all the basic necessities for us to function day to day...essentially we need to bring our clothes and other special must have things until our big stuff gets there. I'm just hoping our ship doesn't hit an ice berg on the way over...hee hee. Also we know there are some scary things happening in the UK right now, so please put us in your constant prayers and know that we'll be okay!!!
