So Corey has 4 girls on his team from England and they are all fun and cute and hilarious!!! (and good players we hope)
We love them already. This is what we love:
"that's a right nice car you have there"
"...they just keep bringing the chips then?, you don't have to pay more?"
"I turned around and there was a lad, right there in my room"
And Emersons comments:
"Mama, they can speak Spanish"
"The English are taking me to the movies tonight"
Isn't it true that when you are around them, you want to speak like them, and soon whether you meant to or not, you are adding your own little english accent in. Scary.

I wanted to wait...
I wanted to wait to FIND my cord to download my pictures onto this post...but I feared KT would take my blog off her roll if I didn't blog soon!! (oh the pressure)
Let's just say we were totally the Griswolds moving here (and if you don't know who they are, you are not old enough to read this blog)!!! We had SO much stuff. We had Corey's truck loaded down and on the top were bikes and on the back was the grill. Hilarious! I will post the pictures later, because I feel them worthy of being seen.
Since then, we have been a little busy.
Moved here Thursday night
I had a job interview on Friday
Got the job on Friday
Had to enroll 3 kids in a private prep school, order summer reading, teach Mac multiplication (1-12),have kids tested to make sure they are smart enough to get into the school, buy $500.00 worth of uniforms, move into a friends house with them (5 Roses in one bedroom with all of our luggage...), finish remodeling our rental house here, have PODS forget to deliver all our possessions on Tuesday, call them they will deliver Thursday (yes they came), begin to move into rental house. Also coach new cheer team Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00-1:00 (set up by previous coach, thanks a lot), try to find reasonable "work" clothes out of clothes left unpacked. Buy "chapel shoes", God forbid they wear tennis shoes to chapel, get uniforms altered to fit our height challenged boy, have numerous adult beverages to cope with all stress.
Seriously, we are busy, but enjoying being here. Life has not fallen into a good schedule yet, maybe after we move into the rental, maybe after school starts, maybe never...
