Hey Everyone,

It seems no one goes on here anymore….  :-(  Anyway, so here's an update from us.  Pete's in St. Louis signing the papers for him to leave Enterprise.  He had been wait 2 months for his British passport to come in.  It finally did.  And 2 days later they finally returned his US passport which they had the whole time too!  Well, mid May I had sent mine in and a week later Hayles (because her stuff was at the drivers license place getting her provisional. It's been a mad rush getting all this type stuff done!!  So here we are mid June, and it's all over the news about passport office delays!!  Today I sent an email to our local MP asking if he could look into rushing our.  And believe it or not, I had a response before lunchtime!!  WHAT?!?!  Anyway, they said give them a few days and they'll advise.  I'm really hoping we can rush it along!  Then we'll be there sooner!  And, Pete's getting really excited too!

I have a big Pampered Chef show tomorrow I am SO excited for!  Only problem is it's 3.5 hour drive away!!  But it's for a good friend so that's why I'm doing it.  Ok, off to bed….

Hey Everyone, Linda asked about anything we may be selling, so I'm posting here to show pictures and if she doesn't want it, maybe one of you does??

 table, leaf, 6 chairs.  The table has a broken leg, but should be able to be fixed, and all chairs are in good shape  $150

$50

Double mattress and frame $150

Dresser and nightstand $75

triple dresser $75

Queen pillow top mattress (badass comfortable!), headboard/footboard (black) $250

twin trundle $50

double dresser w/mirror $150

dresser $75

This is our bed. we JUST bought it, so I cannot do cheap.  But if anyone is looking for a TOP quality memory foam king size bed WITH secret under storage compartment and headboard, I would sell it.  I have to look up what we paid, but I think in dollars it's near $5,000.  I know, ridiculous, but, I'll keep it if no one wants it.  Also, we'll sell those two little nightstands, $50??

I didn't price the sofa's because I"m not positive about selling, we may sell one…..

News….

So, with mixed emotions, I'm letting everyone know, Pete is leaving Enterprise.  After 18 and 1/2 years.  We don't know what he's going to do, or where we'll end up, we'll start a new chapter.  It's scary, but it's exciting!  We won't say no to an extraordinary opportunity if it pops up over here, but my guess is we'll be coming home.  It's a difficult time for Hayle, as she has only one year left.  And she's done incredibly well with her current teacher and school.  In fact, her teacher cried when I told her today.  Which made Hayle and I tear up too.  So, if we can't find a school, since we don't know where we'll be, staying here for one last year is also a possibility.  But a difficult one if Pete goes back to America for work.
The house should go on the market in the next week or two, we've begun cleaning, UGH!!  And taking out the garbage!  And that's just Hayle's room.  Hayle and I may sell bits and pieces at a car boot sale (like a flea market) because I cannot just throw things away!  And ebay isn't so successful for me.

I can't really answer questions about why he's leaving, only to say, his boss wants to shake things up over here.  We had an awesome year last year, but it wasn't as awesome as England in comparison.  But in my opinion, comparing Wales to England is like comparing, what?  Bananas and oranges??  So, onwards and upwards!! He'll take his experience, talents, and good looks (duh!) and make lemonade!!  He's telling everyone at work from yesterday, today, and I think the notice goes out this afternoon?? So then it's out there.  So nothing on Facebook from me for now…….. I've only told one person outside of family, that's Dana (oh, and now her teacher), but now we can.

OKTOBERFEST ANYONE??

Hey Everyone!  I know it's February, but just got a note from Pete's colleague in Germany, asking if we want a table at Oktoberfest.  There's NOTHING I'd love more, than to go with all of you!!  The dates of Oktoberfest are Sept 20th to October 4th.  Please look at flights and hotel and see if you can swing it??  It's a memory to last a lifetime!!!   He needs to know by end of week if we want a table.  It works like a lottery, sort of, I think.  He said we'd have a good chance for a table in the afternoon, but nighttime is out.  but that's probably best.  I'm telling you, IT'S FUN!!

Murder Mystery

Hey everyone, I've booked a flight 17th Feb to 24th Feb and would love to do this Murder Mystery Train if you all want to.  We'll need a number of who's going and someone to take charge?  I know I've asked before, and I know all the girls are in, except I don't think I heard from Linda.  But I'm not sure of any spouses, or kids……
