Our new house in England

Today during my lunch break, we went to the letting agency to sign the rental contract on our house and pick up the keys. It's a 5-bedroom, 3-story house in Red Lodge just southeast of the base and the town of Mildenhall. We loved the area and the convenience of its location to both bases. (To see the neighborhood, just throw our postal code--IP28 8GQ--into Google Earth or maps.) Also, because most of the places we saw had tiny master bedrooms (for our King-size bed), we opted for the five bedrooms. There are two small bedrooms and a bathroom on the third floor which will all basically be the 'master suite.'

The movers are scheduled to bring our household goods tomorrow. This is basically all the stuff we shipped back in the beginning of August just before closing on our house. The other items we had at the TLF for a month after moving out of the house in Del Rio is still on its way. Supposedly, this "unaccompanied baggage" from the TLF was to get here a lot sooner than our "household goods". Because of that, we packed some of the more important stuff we would need sooner (bedding, pots and pans, utensils, winter clothing, toys, etc). Ironically, it's been 7 weeks now and still hasn't arrived. Nevertheless, we'll be happy to get our stuff back (minus the damages we're expecting from our less-than-stellar packers.) We'll get some after-move pics later on as we get somewhat unpacked and settled.
















House Sweet House! (It won't be home until Cynthia works her decorating magic.)
















Kitchen. The fridge and freezer are located on the far right behind the upper and lower cabinet doors. Dishwasher is behind the door just right of the sink.
















The backyard will accommodate our trampoline just fine!
