Some very unhappy things have happened in my life lately. The hardest one is that Doug left. I know that the news is going to get out anyway might as well hear it from me. I live in a small town. I know there are a few of you out there that this will totally come as a shock. Send me your number and I'll explain everything. For now this is all anyone needs to know. I'm more scared now than I have ever been in my entire life. I've never been in this place of so much uncertainity. There are days that all I want to do is just stay in bed and cry. i've never felt so kicked around, sucker punched and damaged. I know I have an amazing support system most of those are 4,000 miles away and I feel that. I know I'm not alone, but at times it feels like it. I thought I had my life pretty much mapped out for me. Stay in the military, raise my family, and sit on my front porch with my husband and turn old. Now life has thrown that good ole curve ball and now I'm not so sure. I know I've made mistakes in my life, I've fallen down really hard, questioned God and wondered if he was still there, and I've been so ready just to give up lately. Fortunately I have two small reminders that my life is worth living that eventhough things look really bleak they are the little lights in my life and I need to cling to that for dear life. I've hated myself and questioned who I am. I am a mother, a child of God, still a wife, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law, a grand-daughter, great-grand-daughter, an aunt, niece, sister, and a member of the greatest service on earth. I have a family that loves me despite all my faults and would do absolutely anything for me even some pretty extreme things. I love them for that. They have been there for me through the last few weeks of tears and pain. Miles may separate us but we've got phones, facebook, and lots of prayers. They lift me up, make me smile and laugh, and keep me focused on the most important people in my life: Paige Jasdelynn Beckham and Clay Riley Beckham. I know in the days ahead I will have okay days, hard days full of pain, lots and lots of tears, and maybe someday, though I can't even see it now one day I will be just fine again. This is just life and it sucks sometimes, but you can either sit around and feel sorry for yourself (which I've done a lot of) or you can dust yourself off get up and take a swing right back a life roll with the punches and learn to duck next time. My life has done a total 180 I've decided that it is time to change my job. Not getting out of the military just making it better for my kids and me. I've got to get a lot of school done to accomplish my new vision for my life and in the end I'll be an officer in the nursing field. I love caring for other people and want to be able to touch someones life. I'll probably be calling alot of you young people that are in college namely my little brother and hopefully get some help. I've got three years to accomplish this goal and I'm going to need all the help I can get. Then hopefully I'll be on my way back to Oklahoma to finish my schooling at the greatest university on the face of the earth OU. So there it the nitty gritty truth about my life why I've got tons of lemons and lots of lemonade to make. Life just happened!!

I can't even begin to describe how excited I am. I feel like we haven't seen each other in years. I now have a deeper appreciation for all the single parents out there with multiple children. I don't know how they do it. I'm ready to fall apart, scream, and rip my hair off my head after just a few hours. Paige is pretty easy unless she is in a mood. My mom use to tell me I was having an attitiude Paige's can remain for days!!!!! Clay Riley is trying so hard to tell me what he wants, and if I guess wrong it could be a bad day. The two of them can be laughing, having fun, and keeping themselves entertained then it flips on a dime and all I hear is screaming, crying, and my head is about to explode. I have to remind Paige he is only 1 so many times a day. Then there is that whole privacy issue. I can't sit, go to the bathroom, take a shower, or pretty much anything without two kids premenantly attached to me. I haven't quite found a hiding place they can't find for five minutes of peace and quiet. So as you can imagine I'm very much ready for my other half to help me wrangle these two wild horses. It has made me more appreciative of my husband I never really realized how much he helped and how much I need him just to be my blocker at times too. He is an awesome and amzing Dad to these kids and they don't even know how lucky they are to have him in their lives. Yay Yay so happy!!! Boy am I blessed or what.Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-21264535769168136582011-01-26T15:32:00.000-08:002011-01-28T06:15:59.191-08:00So Many New Things<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb5DMr-ES8cT3xLByXnznhiBhFw4xvpPJFwnw3RZVF2tRgx8-YLLIlfnZr_PCjiNRYjKUqIkNJH6niNxLxjgRKbj8j2c6Am21qAyC5j39LAI3czrGoWD8cL2idtB576aPO3_YSICGbYPOK/s1600/P1020817.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb5DMr-ES8cT3xLByXnznhiBhFw4xvpPJFwnw3RZVF2tRgx8-YLLIlfnZr_PCjiNRYjKUqIkNJH6niNxLxjgRKbj8j2c6Am21qAyC5j39LAI3czrGoWD8cL2idtB576aPO3_YSICGbYPOK/s320/P1020817.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

This month has been so crazy for me at work. Finally getting my products posted, and still going to crazy uneccessary classes. My EPR is due this month, I test for Tech on the 7th of Febuary, haven't had a free minute to study, trying to file my TMO claim online, trying to get all of my tax stuff together so I can do taxes soon, sick kid (Clay Riley), attempting to get Doug here but getting blocked at every turn, and did I mention I'm going to Africa soon. Paige joined girl scouts. She had her first meeting and enjoyed it. She already earned her first badge. We start selling cookie next month. Let me know what you want I can ship it. Paige has also had another play at school. This one was pretty cool. She was old mother Hubbard. It all starts with the queen of hearts making the tarts ect... and now she asking all the other nursery rythmes if they have seen the knave. Sorry about my poor spelling. It was really cute I almost missed it because of a wreck on the A14 where a lorry (18 wheeler) collided with a tanker (carrying ethanol). I was 10min late and felt like the worst parent ever. She also got awards for the second quarter. One for knowing all her 30 star words the other for reading at level 4D. They expect by the end of Kindergarden for them to be reading at least a 3C level. Not sure what all that means just glad she is exceding the expectations. We have another party thing tomorrow at her school a family event and I'm still up waiting for the last of the cookies to finish. Clay Riley is amazing me more and more everyday. He is talking a lot more and knows how to say "eat" and "more" using sign language, they teach him that at daycare. He has been my sicky. Pink eye on Sunday, bad poops and vomitting on Tuesday. I was suppose to be in a class, but baby comes first. The latest in my life has been the disappointment with Doug's visa. UPS delivered to the wrong office, theb even after that office directed them to the right place they put that the office refused the package and sent it back to the embassy. Still not quite over it. We finally got our internet after a month and a half. Everything here is on slow mode when it comes to that kind of stuff. Okay so here is my list of things you might wat to know before traveling here. 1. you drive on the left hand side of the road, it came pretty natural for me maybe because I'm left handed. 2. Tom Tom is a must I could make it anywhere without it. 3. The way they talk at first will be cute and different then you will totally hate it cause you can't understand them and therefore can't have a conversation with anyone without say "what" every other word. 4. No AC in the summer. They only have heat. 5. The weather (rainy, sunny, rainy, cloudy, rainy, cold, windy, rainy, cold, snowing, and did I mention rainy. 6. You will want to pull over in your car at times to try and take pictures of all the historical beauty. Don't. 7. Roundabout (enough said) you either make it through to your exit or go around til you get it right. 8. US money is crap here. $1 is .62 pence. That is all for now. I'm very excited about going to Africa. Nah nah nah at Matthew. LOL!!! It is going to be a wonderful adventure for me and I'll definately go more than once. Well the cookies are done so I'm going to bed. 11:32pm.Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-70781658746700836992011-01-08T11:40:00.000-08:002011-01-08T11:40:28.111-08:00Happy B-Day to Me!!!Had a pretty good birthday. I have decided this will be the last one I think 29 is a good year to stop aging. At my new office they bought me a cake and everyone in the entire section not just mine sang happy birthday. It was good and I was a wondeful shade of red. Paige gave me one of her fav stuffed animal and sang happy biirthday to me. I had to work so I celebratedn with the kids today.

The kids got way too many toys and now is the task of finding where to put them. We stayed home all day in our PJs and ate cinammon rolls for breakfast. I cooked us lunch at around 3pm. We had ham, corn, green bean casserole, rolls, and mashed potatos and gravy. It tasted wonderful the only thing missing was evryone we love. The kids played and played with no need for a nap at all. I was ready to call it a day long before their batteries wore out. There was still a touch of snow outside, but the sun was shining most of the day. Paige sat out reindeer food and cookies too. Her favorite present was her new Honey doll that replaced the one that was lost when we got here. She got it from her Papa Bill. Clay Riley was just taking it all in he seemed to enjoy Paige's toys too. We were set to go to the churches Christmas Eve service but it got pushed back til eight instead of six. So we were all dressed up with nowhere to go. We took some pics in front of the tree though. I did add some pictures of the house too. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!!Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-46657270591074057732010-12-20T08:50:00.000-08:002010-12-20T08:50:51.925-08:00A Lot Of Catching UpSo I've gotten way behind on this blog. Finding an internet connection and having the website work at the same time is almost impossible. We did go to London on Thanksgiving didn't get any pictures of the church didn't think it would be very proper taking pictures during a service. We made it to see Big Ben, the London Eye, (looks quite scary), and the aquarium. All three were amazing. I do have some pictures. That really took up a majority of our day. Paige was excited all the way there and glad to finally see Big Ben. We got our household goods on the 2nd of Dec just in time to get the tree up and start the unpacking process (still going). A few things were damaged just waiting to hear on them. The kids took pics in front of the tree with Clay Riley in a suit no coat, but adorable nonetheless. Paige is doing her trademark smile with the head tilt. Gotta love them. We have really settled into our house have gone to the movies and some restraunts close by. Tomorrow we are off to go ice skating. We got our presents sent back home in plenty of time and are anxious to see everyones face when they open them. Paige also had a Christmas play, but it takes forever to download the videos. I'll try to post them on facebook. I did make some butter crunch not quite the same they didn't have almond bark here. I had to use chocolate chips instead. Most everything for Christmas is here still looking for a box from the family and Paige's gift from mom and dad. Thank you to Doug and Janice for the wonderful Christmas card and the present. It was lovely. Heather you've got your hands full with that little cutie she is precious. We really really wanted to be home for Christmas, but.... things didn't work out that way. I've had a few moments, but am really looking forward to being with the kids and holdin them tight. LOVE YOU ALL!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-31168136842922049252010-12-20T08:30:00.000-08:002010-12-20T08:30:02.568-08:00Thanksgiving Play<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was awesome. She made this Momma so proud. She sang beautifully and stayed still when it wasn't her turn. It was an awesome time together. Afterwards we had a feast (paige's word). It was really good. We are still planning on going on Thanksgiving to St Paul's Catherdral. I'm really looking forward to it. Paige really like the flowers I bought and told her they were from Daddy. It made her sparkle even more. In most of the videos she is on the left side back row.We still haven't gotten our household goods. Hopefully soon though. I'll be in class most of next week so may not get to talk to anyone on Facebook. I also got a new addition to my camera collection hope to get up a picture or two. Hope to try and webcam on Thanksgiving with the family. Love you all!!!!<span id="goog_74617556"></span><span id="goog_74617557"></span>Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-42288601411074570782010-11-17T08:57:00.000-08:002010-11-17T09:59:26.118-08:00SOOOOOOO Busy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNrrLb6h-UBbuebk80o6ZzuY105wUVz0S2_Fqp5VsU2-UZI6mEqSDO9LTjYsHl6nCjpF3kKzhhxgjcyzOB0JJGfLm852kuCXT4GJ_YpwQllbvTN75K90qxS3boSFwIsW8gLL-O_qHcTGU/s1600/P1020427.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNrrLb6h-UBbuebk80o6ZzuY105wUVz0S2_Fqp5VsU2-UZI6mEqSDO9LTjYsHl6nCjpF3kKzhhxgjcyzOB0JJGfLm852kuCXT4GJ_YpwQllbvTN75K90qxS3boSFwIsW8gLL-O_qHcTGU/s1600/P1020427.JPG" /></a></div><br />

We officially moved into our house this last weekend, but don't have our household goods yet so we can't get the cable, internet, and phone hooked up at home. I've been in class since the beginning of this week and can't get on facebook even to say hi. Paige is doing great at school and will be in a Thanksgiving play next week she will be playing the part of the winter season with one other girl from her class. We have been using the library on base a lot mainly for movies, but alot of books too. We have ventured out from our house a little and found McDonalds. It is definately a little different than what we are use to back in the States but the taste is the same. I took a pic of Paige and her happy meal. They have free tickets to see Alpha and Omega so we will probably go this weekend since the movie theater is just around the corner along with a KFC, Blockbuster, and Staples. We will go see Megamind here on the base soon though. Clay Riley is adjusting well. He still fusses when I drop him off in the morning, but is fine after I leave. He has a cold right now and his nose is constantly running. He keeps me busy. Another thing about Paige she is learning Spanish in Kindergarten. I was quite impressed that they start teaching them another lanuage at such an early age. Clay Riley will more than likely be the one to develop the British accent a lot in part to the fact that several of his teachers at the CDC are British. I can wait until he starts talking more. Me I'm doing okay miss my hubby, family and friends very much ya'll are on my mind a lot especially this month. We will be going with the church group to London on Thanksgiving to one of the cathedrals. I'm super excited to see London. My overall assessment of England: Don't like the weather but can get over that, love just driving and peeking out the window at all the sights. Patty as a fellow photographer you would love it here the entire place is just waiting to be photographed. Shana you would love Tesco or rather Skylie would love it they have awesome cute girl clothes. Well I gotta go pick up the kids will write when I can. <span id="goog_1160447104"></span><span id="goog_1160447105"></span>Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-44785092494408144392010-11-06T12:38:00.000-07:002010-11-06T12:38:02.401-07:00Catching Up With An Old Friend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_PzyQasu6KDTHDRxNeD9izpNvBn-CEb2fy0yI0ubonc5GOWXTW9o0v9xDVCJW4uWtX6-6Psz8Qq6LGEvu3HKtz4m_RcTz7Osl3JKE-lhJjUIdh3lLM8LbTGnW3QTgj_IVWdDt-aeSSNnj/s1600/P1020397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_PzyQasu6KDTHDRxNeD9izpNvBn-CEb2fy0yI0ubonc5GOWXTW9o0v9xDVCJW4uWtX6-6Psz8Qq6LGEvu3HKtz4m_RcTz7Osl3JKE-lhJjUIdh3lLM8LbTGnW3QTgj_IVWdDt-aeSSNnj/s320/P1020397.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

Leea was my supervisor at Altus and has been around to watch both of my kids. Paige adores her. We went to her house and then off to a bazaar on the base she is at. It was awesome a little pricey, but well worth it. Leea treated us to a lot. Paige has developed a lot more courage. She tried the bungee attached to a trampoline. I took pics. She wanted to do it again. WOW!! She has grown leaps and bounds. I'm becoming quite good at making it from point A to point B. Leea got Paige a beautiful fairy dress and Toy Story 3 for both of the kids. She is watching as I type. I can't wait to have visitors it was really nice to see a familiar face today and have a great time with the kids. I think I'm going to like this place!!!Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-48288075455924998302010-11-04T13:20:00.000-07:002010-11-04T13:55:30.180-07:00Our New Home!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcB9xWNjF9sl4IcKZUotRxMq0alA4VD399ZWczrULst12DD5ee7XikdyzdPRwIevyebT52yyxRxmDkJlzZT9rXCdli6pwUEr8vIH1yUQkhs3hgZGa2uKgQ9b4PAUChfSS-fi-s4ikh4Uka/s1600/P1020376.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcB9xWNjF9sl4IcKZUotRxMq0alA4VD399ZWczrULst12DD5ee7XikdyzdPRwIevyebT52yyxRxmDkJlzZT9rXCdli6pwUEr8vIH1yUQkhs3hgZGa2uKgQ9b4PAUChfSS-fi-s4ikh4Uka/s320/P1020376.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It is awesome. The entire place is wonderful. The landlord and his wife seem really nice too. The gardening is included in the rent which means no mowing or trimming hedges for me. It has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The neighbeorhood is really nice as well. We have our own private drive and only have to share it with two other houses. Me and paige went and looked it over again today while the painter was there. She is so excited her room is painted purple, her favorite color. We haven't ventured out too much yet however we found out (cause a certain little girl couldn't hold it) that we are about a mile away from the UK's version of Walmart but better (It has an escalator in it). It is also close to a movie theater and McDonalds. Paige is thrilled. We are going to start attending church here on the base and are already scheduled to go with them to London to St Pauls cathedral on Thanksgiving. It is going to be great. I made a friend who wants to go with us to Legoland when we decide to go. We have a train station close by that you can ride into London about an hour ride into London and they do the big bus tour for like $50 for all three of us just for the bus ride not sure about the train ride. Things are really starting to come together. No such luck on the passports, but am in the process of starting over to get new ones. That may mean we won't get to come home for Christmas, but you never know. I think we are going to like it here even more once Doug gets here. Well I took some pics of the house hope you all like. Start getting those passports ready we want lots of visitors.Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-49268959236017272852010-10-31T03:52:00.000-07:002010-10-31T04:27:26.427-07:00Trick or Treat Smell My Feet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyEnvJN221wnYMyORK02i4cfRAUdXpKw4ZMosslL7GuIlmPNShSxq5-SLc8IHNaj0f-vUBOXC1uuZ3fT87WQFkFGfU7J-m-J2q788GRqEY96C9Zo9oOsmIZ6nlSr48tTuw1wLp_GYoBE6w/s1600/P1020339.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyEnvJN221wnYMyORK02i4cfRAUdXpKw4ZMosslL7GuIlmPNShSxq5-SLc8IHNaj0f-vUBOXC1uuZ3fT87WQFkFGfU7J-m-J2q788GRqEY96C9Zo9oOsmIZ6nlSr48tTuw1wLp_GYoBE6w/s320/P1020339.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

We got up early did some much needed cleaning in the room. Then at noon off to go get a car yay!! We got a Ford Mondeo 5 dr hatchback. It's pretty nice and roomy definately British specs. Made it back to base in one piece. Then off to the Subway for some late lunch/dinner. once we got back to the room I got the kids dressed in their Halloween costumes. Paige was Dorthy and Bub was the tin man. They looked adorable as you can tell from the pics. We walked all over it seemed like. There were tons of teens out trick or treating too so different. We actually had to stand in line a few places. Then they had people lined up at the truck of their cars passing out candy. Definately different but a good idea. parents dress up too. It was a great night. We had a blast. paige got freezing cold so we went back to the room, got bathes, and some hot chocolate. Paige is watching How to Train Your Dragon. Clay Riley is piggin out on M&Ms. In the words of my daughter it was the funest day ever.Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-18422474495514282462010-10-28T04:13:00.000-07:002010-10-28T04:13:01.077-07:00Telephone Booth Pics<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP44uCuINljMfCUjWlySpjZ7venLJFesnMAVdCPzRHImJgJSSLmjawgvAqMoqMMn8BorGnNhbjyIed3aP5VEst_0q2tmMhvk9ktzhESxnifByjkaTt5zseinECqITTGIKXFsf25UNFdxX8/s1600/P1020333.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP44uCuINljMfCUjWlySpjZ7venLJFesnMAVdCPzRHImJgJSSLmjawgvAqMoqMMn8BorGnNhbjyIed3aP5VEst_0q2tmMhvk9ktzhESxnifByjkaTt5zseinECqITTGIKXFsf25UNFdxX8/s320/P1020333.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

She was really nervous, but seems to be making new friends. Clay Riley starts CDC Monday. YAY!!!!! The house hunting begins Monday as well. Hope to here back from a lady today on my favorite will post pics when I have 'em. Going to try and get a car soon. After school we went to get the kids flu shots (Paige got the mist and Clay Riley a shot).They both did really well then off to our fav place Subway!!! We took some pics at the phone booth in front very London!!!Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-84771875186003109642010-10-26T08:25:00.000-07:002010-10-26T08:25:43.383-07:00Rain, Rain Go AwayWe've been here for a short time and have gotten a lot accomplished. Paige starts school tomorrow and Clay Riley will start daycare on Monday. We have been walking all over the place and today was the worst because it was raining. Paige has been amazing she just follows me all over. We had to replace her umberella and get one for me and bub. We went shopping for school supplies and found pretty much everything. Going to try and get a car next week and then off to find us a house. Hopefully a 4 bedroom, but a 3 will be fine. The kids have been adjusting fairly well we've played out on the playground almost everyday. The rain here is more like sprinkling, but the wind will blow you away. I wonder at times if I'm still in Oklahoma. I haven't been able to sleep very well and the Advil PM is not helping. Any suggestions? I can't get the video that we made posted so we may have to make a new shorter one. All of the boxes I mailed to myself made it in good condition and just in time. The kids halloween costumes are in there we just had to get candy carriers. All is well if the rain would just go away!!!Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-8703765154561125972010-10-22T02:08:00.000-07:002010-10-24T07:58:31.206-07:00All In One Crazy Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBjDiufAWyXxkeF8FPwTF1pZf4RgqopSM3w7TTmEvHVN2Ui91dSigCd6GMIpw0fZlauGTwg15zybkuDVTJcnHOwbuiHm8nXkLWz5c0ywgxT-v6mOhuIWMgDKRbrDvEMzuqeZ2rF0wfjJ0W/s1600/P1020273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBjDiufAWyXxkeF8FPwTF1pZf4RgqopSM3w7TTmEvHVN2Ui91dSigCd6GMIpw0fZlauGTwg15zybkuDVTJcnHOwbuiHm8nXkLWz5c0ywgxT-v6mOhuIWMgDKRbrDvEMzuqeZ2rF0wfjJ0W/s320/P1020273.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div>Our morning of the 20th started out at 0700. Got up, got a shower, got kids ready, repacked stuff, and got out to the car at 0821. We stopped at IHOP and had a wonderful breakfast with Daddy one last time. It was great. Left there about 0930 off to the storage building to put the bike in storage 0945 left there off to the City. We made it to the airport parking lot at exactly 1100, we had to park on the very top row, so down we went to the terminals then up to the ticketing area where we were greeted by Mom, Matt, Papa Bill, and Shana and her kiddos. I didn't get to visit long :( had to get the bags checked and get our tickets. I think I had already started sweating by then. Lots of pictures and lots of hugs, they let Doug go back with us, thank goodness. Security was quite a line but we traveled very quickly. I started crying when mom hugged me for the last time. There is somsthing about know that you won't see your mom for awhile or for that matter anyone else standing in that airport with you. It hit me really bad, I wanted so bad to hold it together for my kids. I was really happy mom kinda followed us around each corner of security until we had to hand over the boarding passes. Paige thought it was kinda crazy she had to take off her shoes and questioned the security lady about, thankfully she was very kind to a quizitive 5yr old. We made it to the gate which was all the way at the end. Lots of walking right at the beginning. Changed a diaper and made a decision to leave Clay Riley's car seat behind for mom to mail. Still was pretty weighed down as we boarded our tiny airplane. Looking back at Doug was the hardest thing and knowing he was breaking down same as me. Paige had noticed my tears and it finally hit her that Daddy was not coming she started crying. Not as much as I thought she would, but enough to break my heart. I held her hand as we took off. She loved it from then on looking out the window, trying out the bathroom for the first time ever. Me struggling to keep a 1yr old in a seatbelt was not fun. When we landed in Chicago, it was a relief to have a wheelchair waiting to take us to the next gate, again all the way at the other end. The lady actually pushed the wheelchair and rolled my carry-on behind. I'm still sweating moving Clay Riley from one hip to the other this was the only time I wished I had brought his stroller. Sitting and waiting for the plane was a task. I had a little boy that wanted to explore and a 5yr old that was thristy and hunger. We solved the hungry by openning up some fruit snacks I had packed and some chips from Shana. I gathered up everything to make what seemed like the longest 150ft to the food court to get a drink. Finally called Doug and Mom to tell them we were in Chicago. Boarded our flight to London at 1710 (5:10pm). I was quite the expert by now just wheeling my kids and carry-on down the aisle hoping that all toes, arms and legs were not in the way cause I was not stopping. We got to our sits towards the back thankful for a bigger plane. Paige had an empty seat next to her and a very kind young lady a seat over that proved to be a big help for this tired momma. Clay Riley fell asleep soon after take off. The served us dinner, drinks about 4 times, and a crossiant for breakfast. Paige and I watched Toy Story 3 on our little TVs in the headrests in front of us. Later she watched Disny Cahnnel for a while until around 2200 (10pm) when she finally sacked out. Clay Riley woke up for about two houra at some point not too happy but got him back to sleep then tried to get some rest myself. (that didn't happen every well). We landed in London at 0650 England time about 1250pm our time. We got off the plane and just followed the crowd. I think my body was dripping in sweat when we finally made it to customs. We were lucky and got pushed through customs rather quickly (the joy of having to small children, people feel sorry for you). Then we were off to collect our bags. I was running on pure adrenaline (mis-spelled but don't care) by that time. Loaded down with 4 bags, 3 heavy carry-ons, and 2 beautifully rested children I started to make my way up to the pick-up line. A very kind gentleman that worked for the airport stopped me and told me to wait that he was calling for help. Bless those wonderful people that could see I was starting to come apart at the seams. We were rescued by a man orginally from Afghanistan. He was very nice and kind assisting us all the way to the "meeting spot". Where there were several people holding signs, however none of them had my name on them. I was too tired to care at the momented, needed a restroom, and something to eat and drink for my squirmy children. To get that accomplished I had to wheel out cart with luggage everywhere. Got a donut and drink for my kids, went to the information desk twice to have them call for my ride. Blahhh!!! I didn;t even know what time it was. Just when I was about to burst (although I think I already had and was comforted by a 5yr old telling me everything was going to be okay) into tears I heard my name and was greeted by an Army guy going to the same place and waiting on the same driver as me with his family. We connected and sat with his family and chatted forever (it felt like that long). I finally got to go to the bathroom and change Clay Riley standing up cause there was no place to lay the poor kid down. Waiting waiting and more waiting probably close to 2 and a half ours late our driver shows thanks to Chris (the Army guy). We enjoyed a chat with a very English lady about her little boy turning one. She took a fancy to Clay Riley and by the time we left he waved "bye bye." We loaded everything onto a small trailer attached to a van (the driver called it a bus it was a van), surprisingly enough bags for 7 people fit perfect. Then we were off and I mean off like a rocket cause apparently that is how they drive here like their back-end of their cars are on fire. We went down a corkscrew out of the airport parkin at I would say 45mph. Oh yeah, I told Paige we were on a roller coaster and to hold up her hands. She thought it was great fun where I was afraid we might not make it to the base. We arrived to the base at 10something. I couldn't even tell you quite how we made it in one piece. Unfortanately the celebrating came to a hault when we discovered we had lost an important piece of luggage. Paige's carry-on was missing which just so happened to contain our passports. I was actually starting to question myself about if we had packed it on the trailer when Erica ( the Army guy's wife) came out saying they were missing a bag that contained their laptop, birth certificates, marriage cert, his orders and othe important info. So we both think our bags are somewhere in between here and London on the side of the road. We are all hoping that they fell out close to the airport and someone (God bless them whoever they maybe) well turn them in. Finally met my sponsor and got settled into a very nice room still upset but upset and comfortable. Got ahold of Mom and Doug later on. We are doing okay. Went to sleep at1500 and woke up at 2300 kids too. Called Daddy and talked for a long time. Went back to sleep and just woke up and about to start a new day. It can only get better.Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038293738745267844.post-4714753926609970822010-10-17T21:09:00.000-07:002010-10-17T21:09:51.181-07:00Three Days and Counting<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm really new at this thing but here goes. I'm going to be PCSing to England in three days. My kids are going with me and my husband will be joining us later. I've been staying back and forth between my parents and his parents house since the 4th of October. In the short time we have been houseguests we have made at least 6 to 7 trips to Lawton, 2 to Anadarko, and 2 to Altus. We have been enjoying our time here and have helped throw a baby shower for one of my cousins and his wife, had two different dinners with family (we have a lot of people and coordinating something takes alot) so I've had awesome Dad burgers out on the grill, and tonight we feasted at Olive Garden (my fav place), and today we also too family pics with my three brothers, their wives and kids, and my youngest brothers girlfriend who is totally awesome by the way!!! We have mailed at least five boxes to our temp address in England one containing the kid's halloween costumes. I'm so excited, scared, and nervous all at the same time. Paige (my oldest) is fearless. I personnally think that reality hasn't hit just yet for her that we will be far far far far away from her cousins, and grandparents. There have been a few moments over the last couple weeks where I have felt like a horrible mother for taking my kids so far away from our families here. I keep telling myself that this is a chance of a lifetime for us and it will be great for all of us. Here's to meeting new friends, tasting new foods, and traveling to new places.</span>Sami (Thompson) Beckhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577746711214624245noreply@blogger.com1
