Scooter or Tokya or something

The May's have a new member of the family! His name was Tokyo, but we really dont think that suits him very much. He is a year old Cockateil that another Military member was giving away because he just didn't have time for him.

(He is a really pretty bird)

We are so happy to have his as a member of our family. I think he will make a great addition to our family. It's going to be interesting to see how he does with the dogs and the dogs do with him.

Tomorrow we are gonna go to a couple of the pet stores in the area to get him some new toys and stuff to warm up his cage.

London Apartment

So we spent the last weekend in London for the Britney Spears concert. We stayed in a really AWESOME hotel. We had our own apartment that we shared with another couple we came to the concert with. It's great it was a two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms. It wasn't in the heart of London but we got a great deal 90 GB pounds per night. It's about 160 dollars, which in London is a GREAT deal. Trust me. It had a really nice view

It was a really great hotel and we are already planning our next trip to London because we just didn't have time to see everything or nearly everything we wanted to. We plan to stay at the same place even if it just hubby and me. Over all our London apartment ROCKED!!!

My First "TDY"

So I'm going on my first TDY for work if you can really call it a TDY. We are having a remote clinic at RAF Alconbury this thursday for work. It is only a day trip but I still feel special because it's like a TDY and I haven't even gotten to go on one.

I have been really busy getting prepared for it though pulling all the files and getting everything prepared so that it's easy as possible to get everything going. We leave really early to on Thursday we have to be at work at 645 which is like almost two hours before we normally would. I think it will be a great experence and hopfully I get to go on alot more!

Make that Number Two

So I'm now surviving my second TDY since we got here to England. Austin went to Sweden for the week and left me home! But oh well you gotta live with it. I'm trying to stay busy while he is gone, which seems to be going very well. The day that Austin left I had work and about half way through the day I started getting a sore throat. I made it through the day but crashed as soon as I got home.

Saturday I woke up feeling pretty crap but knew I had alot to do that day. I started with going to the bank, then took my car to get it's MOT done. MOT is a compulsory annual test of older motor vehicles for safety and exhaust fumes(pulled definiction off the net). Needless to say it didn't pass, they say I need new brake disks, and a couple light bulbs are out but those are the easy fix. So needless to say my very first paycheck from work is going to getting my car fixed. But we got a really good deal on the car so I guess this makes up for it. By the time I had finished the MOT I felt horrible and just wanted to go back to bed, but I didn't. Instead I went to Jess' baby shower, she is a really sweet girl I met at work who expecting a little girl in September. Once I got home from that I was really tired so I got into my PJ's and just hung out around the house.

Sunday I slept in for the first time since I started work. I woke up this morning feeling alot better but decided to just kinda hang out around the house and rest so that I was feeling good for my week. I did go and put gas in my car and get some grocerys for the week that hubby is gone.

Now I'm watching TV and getting the house straightened up for the next week. I always feel better about starting my week with a clean house and having all the dishes and laundry done. I'm ready to start my week!
