Hi everyone! Hope you all are well :)
Well, we have been in England 5 days now, and we are quickly getting settled. We've been house hunting for the past few days and the 7th home was the lucky one. The owner is having the carpet cleaned and a few other things, but we should be set to move in this week sometime. It depends on the base really, because they will be l0aning us furniture and other goods until our things arrive. The only thing the home didn't have that we wanted was a conservatory, but we talked the owner into putting one in! The Brits use the conservatory as an extension of the dining room, but we do plan to grow some things in there also. Our little village school has a small market and a primary school (elementary). I haven't checked yet, but they may have a preschool for Hunter to attend next year. Something else we also love is the village has a great playground and a running track!
So driving here was alittle harder than Aaron expected, but he has already got the hand of it. The only hard in the round-a-bouts which take the place of traffic lights and intersections. These little European cars fly around those circles and it's a little frightening to jump in there. Plus we still haven't figured out signal while on them- it's very different from home!
It is absolutely beautiful here! There huge Meadows filled with this yellow flower called rape weed. One field can cover acres and acres. I've tried taking pictures, but none have done it justice so far.
Yesterday we spent the afternoon exploring Huntingdon which is the town that our village is in. The town was actually established just after 1200! We walked through a park next to the Ouse River. There are some beautiful old buildings and hotel in the area.
Here is a link to some pictures from out time here so far!

We are doing great and already enjoying our new area. We hope you all are doing great as well. When you get the chance, please send us an email and catch us up on whats going on at home!
Love to you all- Candace
