6Jun2008: Day13: One more look at the house

So today I got out of work at 2:30 and drove up to Gillingham where the new house will be at. I took about 20 minutes, but there was some congestion at some spots. Overall, it would be better if I were closer, but the house is very nice. The back yard is very nice as well. Makenna will really like exploring it. It is all enclosed with a high fence, but there are a lot of trees and such around. Nice little park. The landlords have agreed to put in a dryer and another king size bed. The bed they have in there is only about 6 inches wider than what I would call a double from home, but apparently, that is what they call a king size here. Whatever. I think they are full of it. Since the single is the same size as back home, then I would be suprised to see a double that much smaller than what the king is. We'll get used to it I guess. They are going to buy a widescreen tv as well for us. We will have to buy sheets and a comforter, but we're not paying for the heat so, I'm not going to spend much on blankets, just keep the heat up at night. It doesn't get that cold here anyway.

No pillows though either, so we'll have to buy some of those. If anyone is coming over for a visit bring sheets and a pillow if you can.

Hopefully we can move in next weekend. Work has a van I think we can borrow. The items we shipped are apparently in customs, so hopefully we will have that next week.

We finally got access to some cash and we now have a checkbook for out accounts here. Crazy thing is, they have to mail us a pin. You would think we could just get one online, but no.

The coworker's wife who Teri went with yesterday called up again today and Teri went out for lunch with her. Unfortunately, when we move to this new place it will be more distant from them, so it may be harder for Teri to keep that relationship growing, but another coworker lives right across the street where we will be moving and she has a 4 and 6 year old, so hopefully we can get together with them sometime.

Tomorrow we are going to travel into London on the train to see the Tower of London. Hopefully, Makenna will be good and I'll get some good pictures and footage to put up.
