Home with a dash of Twilight Zone.

    We're here!!!! We landed in London at 8 AM and were picked up by Kyle's sponsor... who also happens to be Tiffany Williams... one of my best friends from 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. ......what? I really don't think I'll ever get over that. She has the same job as Kyle and will be working in his office with him. He has one of the nicest offices on base BY FAR. Almost nothing has changed since my dad was stationed here... which isn't necessarily a good thing. A lot of the buildings are old. Apparently they are planning to update some of it soon, though, which is definitely needed.. 
  We got a lot accomplished today. We set up a pounds sterling account, got a room at temporary lodging, and looked at a couple of houses. The housing office gave us two options: Lord's Walk and Feltwell. Lord's walk is a more convenient location, since it is practically on Lakenheath, but the neighborhood didn't look very nice, the washer and dryer were IN the kitchen next to the stove, and it was next to a busy street, which we had enough of in Biloxi. Feltwell is 13 mins away, but is much more peaceful, the housing is a lot nicer and it has a fenced in back yard.... so we went with that one. It is under maintenance for the time being, so I am not sure when we can move in, but we will sign for it on Monday!!  For those who know the layout of Feltwell, our neighborhood is RIGHT next to the giant field where they do fireworks for July 4th. :) 
   I tried to tell Kyle not to sleep until it got dark, so that he could beat jet lag and fix his sleep schedule in one night... but he didn't listen to me and has been asleep the past 4 hours. I took that time to walk all over base and memorize where everything is.  That nerd can go ahead and have fun with being awake all night. I will be asleep.
   I walked to the Dental squadron, but they were already closed by the time I got there. I'll have to try again on Monday and beg them to help me out, because I flat out can't eat anymore. I'm really hoping that they know their stuff, and that they won't turn me away for being a spouse. :(
