Hi Everyone - Sorry I haven't been around much these past few months.
It has been a really crazy time for me. First there was spending a month in San Diego helping my mom move out of her apartment. Then there was flying back and forth between San Francisco and the UK while my husband was in Calif on a training visa. And now he is applying for a green card, which means we are moving to the SF area. So my last couple of months have been dealing with getting our house in the UK cleared out so that tenants can move in, getting all our stuff either packed up for the big move to SF, put into storage, sold, given away, recycled or tossed! Ack!
But it is all done now, and I am in Calif. for good now. Whew!!! I am working out of my company's office over here and am hoping (praying) that my transfer back to the States comes through! :-O
But we are really settling in now, and are actually in the process of buying a house here. If it all goes well, we should be able to move in at the beginning of December. I CAN'T WAIT!!! In the meantime, we are staying in a hotel in a room that is like a little tiny one-bedroom apartment. That is getting really old, really quickly!
One sad thing is that we decided it would be best for Tikka if she stayed in the UK with our friend who takes care of her when we are on holiday. Tikka loves her as much as us, plus she gets fresh chicken and prawns, so we know she will be fine. She would be very frustrated here (after that awful long plane ride), because we would not be letting her out of the house. At least back in the UK she will be able to continue the life to which she has become accustomed.
Anyway - I'm looking forward to having another SF area TDK get together one of these days! Yay!
Happy Halloween, everybody!
