Week one DOWN

So I started my first job here in England on Monday! I'm a Veterinary Operations Clerk at the Vet Clinic on RAF Feltwell. It's about 10 Miles from where we live in the opposite direction from where Austin works. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to work everyday, but the drive is totally worth it! The drive is so peaceful and and really pretty.

As for the job it's GREAT! I love what I'm doing and working with Animals is what I really want to do. I have also made some new friends, everyone seems really nice. So I made it through my first week and it was really great. I feel like I'm picking things up really fast and it all seems to make sense!

I survived my first week of work and think I'm really gonna love this job!

Flowers

I love all the flowers they have here in England! It's great because every weekend I can go to the market and get fresh flowers for my home. Plus there are daffodils everywhere here. They are one of my favorite flowers.

It's funny because I don't have a green thumb at all, my mother would not be proud. She always had the most beautiful flowers and could make anything grow. I on the other hand can't make seem to keep anything alive. I want to plant a lilac brush in the front yard because I love them and they are sooo pretty and always smell really good.

We love England so much and it's seems like everything have just bloomed overnight. Everything here is so green and lush. It's hands down one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I know I'm so blessed to live here and I want to live every minute to the fullest while we are here. Not everyone gets a chance to live here and so I want to make sure I enjoy every moment we are here.

We are so happy being here and can't wait to see what happens next. We are planning all the places we want to see while we are here. I think we are gonna need to live here at least 4 years if not longer to see it all. Over all life is good and we love out new home.

The First!

Well yesterday I dropped Austin off for his first TDY here at RAF Mildenhall. We are both so excited that he is going to get to travel so much while we are here.

For his first TDY here he sure got a good one! He went to Finland for a few days. Being alone in the house is really kinda weird. It's hard because I have never stayed alone without having Luke and Leia here. As everyone knows my dogs are my kids, and they keep me company when Austin is gone. On top of that our house makes funny noises! It's a brand new house why does it make noises.

So to keep myself busy I went with the Janes to Bury St Edmunds for some shopping. Retail therapy always helps! I got some fabric to work on some quilts and we will see how it all goes. My first quilt is gonna be one for my baby sister Emily, I hope I have it done by her birthday!

I interviewed for my first job here. It's at the Vet here at one of the bases. I'm hoping to start out working the front desk and then which over to be a Vet Tech when we spot becomes available. I haven't heard anything back yet but I hope to hear something this week. It would be the perfect job for me, and I know I would be really great at it! So everyone please keep your fingers crossed that I get the job.

Other than that life goes on! I love being in England and it's soooo wonderful here and it really feels like I fit into everything here. Plus I love the lifestyle! Everything moves alot slower pace and lets face it I love a slower pace!
