We've Arrived!

We've landed in England!  And so thankful we had a good flight! We had FIFTEEN bags!  And every single one of them arrived.  We were so thankful.  The biggest hurdle was getting them from baggage claim out to our colleagues who were waiting for us.  We could hire a guy and his cart to help us or each of us push a cart.  The kids are now big enough to mostly push a cart themselves, so we opted for that.  And we made it!  A few difficult turns, but we made it.

 We were in a jet lag stuppor that first day.  Since we arrived so early we decided to take a nap.  It was hard for us to all wake up, but we were a bit more coherent after that.  We kept it easy that first day just picking up a few things at the store and eating an early dinner.  We had a couple difficult nights of waking up around midnight or 1 and having a hard time going back to sleep.  So far, 2 nights in a row we have slept fine!

We're staying in a colleague's home while we look for a place.  It's in walking distance to our office and the high street.  It's nice since we aren't cleared to drive yet.  Hopefully we'll be driving soon.  I'll definitely have to post about that!

Costa Coffee is an English coffee house.  We had them in Prague and enjoyed going because of their babycino, frothy milk for the kiddos complete with a marshmallow and pretty design on top!  They are free if you purchase a regular size coffee!

 This pretty Church of England is on the way to the high street.  So beautiful!

It's going to take some time before we are really settled with a place, bank accounts, driving, schooling, etc.  Just trying to be patient in the wait!  We'll get there, slowly but surely!
