Well it's official... we've purchased the airline tickets!I can't believe we're leaving in a week.
Here is the scoop on our upcoming adventure...
We're flying to London Monday, March 3rd. We will be picked up by Mark Dallimore (UK country manager Abe hired last month) and another hired car service to get our masses and the mountain of suitcases we are taking with us to Basingstoke where we will live.
After two houses falling through we are almost nailed down on a house that we are excited about. We have made the decision on renting it from pictures sent from Mark so we hope it is a cute as it looks. We do love the location as it is near Abe's office, the LDS meetinghouse and the Tennis Club:) We also love that it has plenty of bedrooms so lots of you can come visit!
We have tickets to return on August 18th (the first day of school) but we don't know for sure if that is when we'll come back at this point. We may stay through the end of August.
Anyway, that is the scoop so far... so watch for posts starting next week.
We love you all and please keep in touch we would love to hear from you!
For those of you who are interested in seeing where Basingstoke is on the map, here is a link to google maps.

DO NOt commit my bedroom to anyone until I have worked out my itineraries. I hope to see you way more in Britain than I do in the average six month period in Provo. And if I have to get Berkeley out of town for a few months, she's coming to you, too.
Third time's a charm on the rental market, right?
PLEASE don't encourage Zach to come home with a bad lad south-of-the-Thames accent. It will be cute at first, but I guarantee you will tire of it. Love you all.

Rob and I love you guys, are thrilled for you, and know you will be back before we know it hearing all the good and funny stories...and the ones that sweet abe will try and tell through his tears (what a teddy bear).
