We have landed!

So we took off this am to our new two year adventure.  

We have now landed in London and are taking the cab to our new home. Luckily it has wifi and thanks to my sweet friend Scarlett I have an app to blog on the go!;). 

God is so amazing and in the middle of fighting back tears and missing home and family and friends already, he gave us enough grace to keep our heads up and keep moving forward. While watching a sweet guy carry all of out 10 bags on a cart to the car, we passed a lady I had briefly spoken to in the JFK airport while we were in line to board. She had a sweet little boy that keep wanting to race Finn!  She said to me "Wow that's a lot of bags". I then explained that we were moving for two years. She said "Here let me give you my number, I know what it's like to be new". What a blessing to see his grace and love in the midst of such huge change.  Praising The Lord today for his presence in everything we do. 

     

         

No goodbyes only see you all soon!

A precious friend of mine has said since the beginning that we will not be saying good bye, only see you all soon!  We have been so blessed with such wonderful family and friends, and we have spend the last month enjoying as much quality time with them as possible before our big move.  We have been quite busy. We started off with a little British bash at my families house. 

We had a wonderful time with our family and the kids had a blast with their sweet cousins! 

        Then we took our first trip over the pond to do a little house hunting. We found a wonderful flat in a beautiful area of London. While we weren't house hunting we found a few fun things to entertain the kids too. 

Playing on the pirate ship at Kensington Gardens was Finn's favorite. 

  

Reese enjoyed the cupcakes we found in Primrose Hill. 

 After a fun, but quick trip we headed back to Tennessee to enjoy our last few weeks before the big move day arrives. Clearly Finn enjoyed the plane ride home. Being upgraded to business class was a real treat!

         Our precious friends threw us a wonderful going away party (or a see ya soon party ;). We had an amazing time. Below is a picture of the beautiful cake. It was perfect and delicious. 

We have been so blessed over these past few years with wonderful friends.  We can't wait for them to visit us over the pond. They are truly blessings and we will miss seeing their sweet smiling faces everyday. 

     We will be leaving for our new adventure very soon but before we do we took a quick trip to the beach with my sweet sister and her family to enjoy a little extra vitamin D.
