First Few Days!

So we have been pretty busy since Rob has been home. The day he got home the weather was so nice and very unlike England. The forecast for the following days were supposed to be equally as nice, so we decided to go to the beach the next day. We woke up and Rob wanted to take his first shower at home and the shower broke while in the middle of his shower the gasket broke and the water turned off. We packed up all our stuff for the beach and then called the realtor to get the shower fixed. The beach we went to is Southend-on-Sea. It is about an hour and a half away so a fun car ride. When we first got there we wanted to walk up and down the boardwalk to see what they offered so we got some ice cream to eat while we decided.

We finally settled on a little seaside café and ate lunch. It was here that I tried fish and chips for the first time since we have moved over here. After lunch we found a spot on the beach (which is not sand but tons of little rocks and seashells). When we first got there the tide was out which was a little depressing but we did get to see it come in which was very cool. While laying out Rob kept making fun of all the little kids whining that their feet hurt when walking to the water. When the tide finally came in we decided to walk to the water and we finally knew how all the little kids felt.

Those little rock hurt so bad. Before we headed home, we bought some freshly made sugar doughnuts, which were delicious. The next day we headed to base to shower and do some grocery shopping. We also stopped and bought some patio furniture and we love using it.

That next day which was Sunday we spent the day laying around and made ribs for dinner, we then went to the movies and saw Iron Man 2.

He's Back!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to update with this very important news but we have been kind of busy… yes I said we. Rob got home on Thursday and like I said we have been busy. The weather has been gorgeous here the past couple of days, so we headed to the beach on Friday and yesterday we grilled out and did yard work. I will update with more details of what is going on, on this side of the world soon but I just wanted to let everyone know that he is home and safe.
