P was recently promoted and is now Head of IT for You-Rope as opposed to Head of IT for Brrringland. It is a huge jump in responsibility and he is travelling a lot more. Hopefully, this will be the first step of many and the next leap might be to the Land of the Free? I will keep my fingers (and toes and legs and eyes!!) crossed. I am definitely a Buffalo Wing kind of gal and would jump at the opportunity to live and work there.
We also decided to buy a car and are now proud owners of a 2006 Ford Focus 5-door hatchback. We lived without a car for over a year but it's so convenient and we love having it. We have done quite a few day trips and it has really been enjoyable. We can now also pick friends up from the airport (as opposed to putting them on the bus or in a taxi) so I hope that more of you will come to visit us here!
We have also found another rental property not too far from where we live now. The difference (and oh what a difference it is!) is that we'll have a second toilet! Yahoooooooooooooooooooooo! A lot of houses and flats here only have one bathroom (even if they have three bedrooms or more), so uncivilized. But what else can you expect from this place? The reference checks are being done now and all being well, we will move some time next month.
No post is complete without a couple of photos of our baby dawg, who is not so much of a baby anymore at just over five months old. These were taken by a friend and can you tell, it's not easy being beautiful!
