Good evening friends! I know in my last post, I promised some pics and a blurb about our trip to Inverness. I have not forgotten this; just have been a bit side tracked. I will post some pictures soon, but wanted first to share with you the latest development in the Whimsical World of Wendy.... As you all know, we have been sent here to Aberdeen Scotland on a short-term assignment with COP. Our stay here has been an amazing one, with still many adventures in our exploration of the UK and Europe still to come.
Today, however, we received our official marching orders for Brian's next assignment. Brian is really excited to announce that he has accepted a Supervisory position with COP in beautiful, balmy, (insert chortle here) Anchorage, Alaska! That's right folks, looks like the cool weather we've been acclimating to here in Scotland will soon turn colder! I suppose now we will add "Whirlwind" to the title of the blog since Brian's report date to Anchorage is August 1st. That means we will leave for our European holiday in less than two weeks, come back to Aberdeen for a short spell, and then head back to Bartlesville to start packing up the house and readying it for sale. Whew! Makes me tired just thinking about it. I guess we are in for a very busy summer. At least we will get to have some of that wonderful, muggy, Bartlesville heat before we depart. lol
While I am nervous and stressed about it all, I knew the possibility lay just within our grasp and I am so very proud of Brian for this promotion. I will deeply miss each of our wonderful friends and family that we will leave in Oklahoma, but look onward to yet another adventure! And, of course, our door will always be open for our friends and family should they make it that far north!
That's all from me for now. I am still sorting out my feelings, and compiling a mental to-do list for myself. Thankfully, there won't be much packing up to do on this end...but boy, I don't look forward to cleaning out the closets, nooks, and crannies of our house in B'ville....until next time, friends!
