We have reservations!







Scott just made reservations for us at "Caversham Lodge House" in Reading for June 2nd through the 9th. Hopefully during this week we can scope out some more permanent housing around town. The address (if you want to google it) is 164-166 Caversham Rd, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 8AZ. It looks like it's really close to the downtown area and only a block from the Thames!



I'm getting so excited! We've bought our plane tickets, and have a temporary place to stay! This is all really happening!



I think our first order of business once we get there is to of course find a place to live, but soon after we hope to buy a laptop so we can keep in contact with all you guys, and also buy bikes. We're hoping we can use them as one of our primary means of transportation around town. I guess once we're there we can see how hilly the area is, and if it looks like we can make it work.



We're going to start packing house things up this Memorial day weekend. Our parents are coming down next weekend to take it back to Arkansas (I can't thank you guys enough!).



Scott starts work at his new job on Thursday morning June 5th. Wish him luck!

UK work permit? Check.




We received notification that Scott's work permit was approved, and that it was sent to the Jacobs office (Scott's work) in the UK. They're mailing it here to us now.
We're also in the process of applying for our visas. We go to get fingerprinted on Friday 5/16. The whole process should take a week.
Also, we got out plane tickets for June 1st. Yay!
I guess that's all to report for now...
