Didn't I just move?

Yes!!! I was really looking forward to this move because it was into a bigger house on base. The kids are excited to have larger bedrooms, and I am so glad that we had an open living/dinning area. I am so glad that I have an American washer and dryer!! We also have a garage that we can actually park in.

The kids get to sleep in almost an extra hour since the schools are within walking distance.

The only downside is living like this for a little while until we get unpacked.

 

 

 

As usual the TV and speakers are the first thing to get opened.

Tea Time

Ive been having tea for years; it all started with all my stuffed animals and my dog Cleo. I can't think of any little girl who didn't have a tea set and sat amongst stuffed animals and pretended to have tea. My daughter had about 3 tea sets and I melt to pieces when I see a cute tea pot.
But I never thought that as a grown up I'd be having a proper tea in England.

 A few ladies and I went out for tea, at a tea house called Peacocks And I could not resist the hot chocolate, they really know how to serve it up. We had scones, sandwiches, jellies, and just about anything you can imagine. I must come back with my daughter just the two of us, I can't let her go back to the states without trying out some English tea.

These dishes are so cute.
The hot chocolate had a small chocolate on top in the shape of a teapot.

 

The restaurant's theme is so cute and quaint, it's like you're  in someone's home and sitting in there kitchen.

 

 

This was a ham and cheese sandwich and it had the best cheese I've ever eaten.
If you ever get a chance to travel to England find a tea house and cross it off your bucket list; even if it wasn't on your list. It's a must do!

Valentines Day

A few days before Valentine's day I attended a wine and design held by wives club on base and it was so much fun. I think I did a pretty good job on my picture especially since there was no teacher. Not the mention the was and appetizer's were delicious.

 

Valentines day is not really a big anticipated holiday for us we often just go out to dinner or get ourselves a little something. I love my husband and really don't need a gift or expensive flowers we've been together a long time. I was completely surprised when he came home with these beautiful flowers. I usually get mad when he spends his money on flowers that will just die in a few days, but since we have no garden and I can't very plant anything since we are not going to be in this home much longer it was ok.




Later that night we met some friends for dinner, and drinks. And boy did I have fun! I haven't danced like that in a long time. It felt 19 yrs old again and then the next morning I felt a lot older than 19.




Happy Valentines day!!
