It’s always Autumn in England

The paperwork for my Duel Citizenship has come through! I now go to a ceremony to accept it, which I will be doing at the end of October. Then I can get my British Passport! I am excited. Duel Citizenship is kinda fun to think about.
Even though on a day to day basis, it doesn’t make much difference to my living, it does mean Evan and I have the choice of living in the UK or America and travelling in the EU will be much easier!

Our container is being delivered today!

It arrived in the US on 1sts August and took about 2 weeks to clear customs. So, since around the 14th August, it has been sitting in a warehouse somewhere in South Carolina. I am glad it is finally being delivered. the only answer we ever got when we called the company was that they didn’t have a truck available to send up here to us. Last week, I sent an email to EuroUSA saying that a month was far too long to wait for it to be delivered. I also emailed PSS in England to complain. PSS is who we hired in England, and they use EuroUSA on this side. I don’t have a complaint for PSS, they were always very prompt, very friendly and always followed through on when they said they would call or be there. They were excellent at keeping in touch with us to let us know what was going on.

EuroUSA has not been that way. On August 1st we called to see when it would be through customs and delivered. Their standard answer was always, ‘we will call you back’. We would wait a week and hear nothing. Call them again, and their answer would be, ‘we will call you back.’ My complaint to PSS about them was that, if on the 14th August, they would have told us, it will take a month to get it here, because that is the next truck they have, at least I would have known what was going on. But just telling us that they would call us when they had an answer was very frustrating. They never once called us back, by the way. The only call we ever got was from the driver of the actualy delivery truck. On Monday he called and said it would be delivered today. He called again last night to let us know where he was and to tell us he would be here around 10am today.

So, now I only have about 30 minutes before all of my stuff arrives. It is very exciting!!! It kinda feels like Christmas. I don’t remember exactly what it is I have in there!!

My birthday is coming up in 20 days. I have started my ‘wish list’ on Amazon. What made me start thinking about this was the ‘Social Calendar’ on Facebook. It has a way you can import your wish list from Amazon straight into Facebook. How fun is that! So that is what I did!

I have some fun books that I want. Plus some books for work that I want. A couple CD’s, movies and of course a digital camera! It is actually the same camera we have now, but much better. I think I would actually like an SLR, but I haven’t spent enough time deciding what I really want or need.

Anyway, take a look at Amazon and buy me something!

Where does the time go? Yesterday was August 15th and suddenly today it is September 16th. How did that happen?

Job - Great

Sam’s football games - Great (3-1) but they only got beat because the team was a division above Lapel.

Car - Great. But it does have to go in and be looked at, the battery seems low, but it might be a spark plug

Weather - Great. I love the weather we have been having, I would guess it is in the mi-70’s, just perfect!

Cats - Great. William caught a chipmunk and DESPERATELY wanted to bring it in the house. It is the first time he has caught anything that I am aware of, so it makes me wonder if it was sick or old or something.

Here is the latest news on the car. We have had endless delay after delay, but we have received half the cash up front and the rest will come when the final paperwork goes through.

The dealership has agreed to release the car we are buying with the final payment being made once we get it from the insurance.

Here are two pictures of the car. They are not great, because I have taken them from the dealers website, once we have the car in hand, I will post some more. Evan is picking it up at noon after they have detailed the car for us.

This is a 2001 tan (brown as the dealer calls it) Mustang GT with charcoal leather interior. It drives great and just had 4 new tires put on it. We drive it off the lot at noon today…only an hour to go. Unfortunately, I had to come to work and Evan is picking it up on his own and driving it to Sam’d football game tonight.

I GET TO DRIVE IT HOME FROM THE GAME!! I have never really been excited about any car I have purchased in the past. This is the 5th car I have owned in my life and it is by far my favorite!
