I cannot BELIEVE were moving to England! It is still so surreal to me. Sams report no later than date is July 15th. Since he is in weather he has to do a two month training course at Keesler. Which if we just met and you didn't know was our last base!
I think while he is there Lilly and I are going to move in with my mom and collect BAH. That will be a nice chunk of change in our pocket so we can deal with expenses for England.
I am also really looking forward to having that extra time with our families.
The base we are going to is called Mildenhall. It is in Suffock.
We will be right around The Fens. From what we have heard the weather is rainy and dreary. perfect coffee drinking weather. ALL YEAR LONG!
Our neighbors here at Scott came here from England. They were telling us lots of cool things! Her husband said that about an away or so away from us there are 20 castles to explore!
So of course I Google'd and found some AWESOME pictures!
We are so stinking excited. We're still deciding if we want to live on base or live in a little country side home.
There is so much to be done though before we move. We have to get passports and visas. The whole family has to get a medical clearance.
Your pets also have to be medically cleared. Sam and I looked into it for moving Kodi to England and realized we will be spending about $2,000 to bring Kodi with us. So we have decided to leave him here with my mom in the states! We are going to miss him SO much. If we are able to save a good amount of money while we are gone we may still ship him. He will love being at my moms though. Huge fenced in back yard and a big house to play in!
So if you would like to send some prayers this way that this all goes accordingly, it would be really appreciated!
Speaking of asking for prayers Sam and I have realized something.
About a month ago I was talking to a very good friend of mine. We were talking about how God works in our lives and how he shows himself to us. We got talking into a lot about God and Revelations. I personally have never read revelations so I started.
There is a verse Revelations 3:16
"But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!"
We started to realize WE are lukewarm! We go to church sometimes and live our lives as good people. We talk to God and pray to him. We trust in him and rely on him.
But that's not enough. We are living with Jesus but we aren't living FOR Jesus. We decided to change that and be more proactive. Make church a #1 priority. When we went the Sunday after getting back from vacation the message was about being lukewarm! How is that?!
It always seems like service has the message we need to hear that day!
Sam and I have decided to re-commit ourselves. I have questioned getting baptized too. Its something I still have to think and pray about though.
Sam and I go to O Fallon Assembly Of God.
We LOVE this church! When we first started going it was in March I believe. My best friend here Brittany is a member of the church. She offered an invitation and we accepted it and enjoyed the service so much! We really like the Pastor there. He is really personable. Always remembers our name and when he delivers his sermon it really speaks to us.
In the title you may have seen "Microwave free?!"
I read a post on a friends facebook about a science fair project it said the following:
"!!!!! ATTENTION !!!!
Here is a Science fair project presented by a girl in a secondary school in Sussex . In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference, after the experiment which was repeated by her class mates a number of times and had the same result.
It has been known for some years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about, it's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it.
Microwaves don't work different ways on different substances. Whatever you put into the microwave suffers the same destructive process. Microwaves agitate the molecules to move faster and faster. This movement causes friction which denatures the original make-up of the substance. It results in destroyed vitamins, minerals, proteins and generates the new stuff called radiolytic compounds, things that are not found in nature.
So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these 'Safe' appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed him when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it's safe. But proof is in the pictures of living plants dying!!!"

then this picture followed
it got me to thinking. Sam and I use the microwave for EVERYTHING. We use it several times a day. Lilly has a waffle almost every single morning for breakfast and i heat it up for 30 seconds in the microwave. gross!
So I took it out of our kitchen and stuck it in the garage. It is a hassle to reheat everything in the oven or stove top BUT i feel better about our decision already! We are going to try to make this a life style change. It grosses me out thinking about how much we use it!
I will hopefully remember to update this again soon and include pictures!
Ill make another post about Lillys party!
