Alright, the big move has come! We have officially moved to England and it is an adventure! We arrived Sunday and there is so much we still need to do. The flights went well and were of course super long! I'm glad I get to avoid that flight for a while! The worst part is that we are stick inside a tiny room with only a fridge and microwave which makes for interesting meals.
Today we are going to take another look at a car we both like, a 2005 Rover 75 and are pretty excited about it. And tomorrow, we are going house hunting which we are beyond excited about! This weekend, I think we may make our way to go see something (not sure what yet).
Now the driving part over here is a little intimidating but what we both realized is that it's the nerves that is the worst part. The driving really isn't bad! We just have to remember that the driver has to be the one closest to the center line and we are good. Also, the roundabouts are getting better! We were both terrified about those! But now that we understand what are actually supposed to do, they don't seem as scary! Lee has been doing most of the driving but now I have started as well. I am quite proud of how well I am doing.
Sorry, no pictures yet!
UPDATE: We bought the car! It is beautiful! It is in great shape, had all the paperwork needed and then some! It's nice to have some peace of mind that we have done something right. It is so quite and is a very smooth ride. We are going to buy a new CD player for it and get an oil change.
I also just did my first alone drive! It was to go get the car and of course I forgot my cell phone so I was on my own. But I only got turned around once so overall, it was great. It doesn't even feel like I really even have to think about what side of the road to be on and roundabout are easy. So we are adjusting well! I will make a new post tomorrow after our house hunting search!
