New Journey, New Life.

Whew! It's been a whirl-wind these last few days! Where to start?

So my flight to England had me up bright and early at 4:45 a.m. Saturday morning. I went to the airport with my parents, drank coffee and said my goodbyes and made it through the gate a little early because be had noticed that my flight was showing a delay. I get to the gate and talked with the desk attendant and she assures me that the flight will only be 7 minutes late and EVERYONE will make their connections! So what ends up happening? The plane ends up being 40 minutes late, my connecting flight is clear on the OTHER side of the airport and I miss my flight after running from one end to the other!

From that point, I ended up playing the run-around game back and forth between terminal 1 and 3 (in San Francisco by the way!). The lady with my flight wanted to book me on a flight that would go out the next day which meant I would have to cover my own hotel and get meal vouchers from them. I said no and her informed me my only other option was to run to their sister company and see if they would help out. A total of 5 laps around the airport and trying to get booked to a different flight, then trying to get my luggage, etc. and after going through security four times, I manage to get, run, and make it to my re-booked flight with a mere 4 minutes to spare! Phew! I felt awful for the two guys sitting next to me because at this point I am completely hot and sweaty from running around with my two heavy carry-on bags, but we made it through okay!

The flight I was booked on was a 10 hour flight to Frankfurt Germany (which goes past England), then I had to jump a 2nd flight back to Manchester England. So, after a long 24 hours of traveling, I was tire, sore, stinky and about in tears when I saw my man!

He stood there at the gate, smiling at me humorously watching me try to maneuver my bags awkwardly until I reached a point where he was able to help. It was SOOOO wonderful to see him! He had this adorable grin on his face, gave me a huge hug and kiss and walked with me out of the airport eagerly wanting to hear what happened with my travels. He took me home where we ran a quick errand then got Chinese take-out. I completely crash and sleep for 13 hours and then the next day he showed me around town, we went grocery shopping and got a few things for the apartment!

Today (Tuesday) I'm tired but have so much to do! My 2nd night of sleep wasn't as good as my first (maybe about 5 hours broken up from 9a.m.-4:00a.m. then I gave up and got up at 4 a.m. and having been just hanging around ever since!) I need to do some cleaning and some re-organizing and it's just me here as my hunny has to work so I'm home alone in the house till Saturday afternoon! So, I think most of today will be spent doing that. Tonight I think I will go back to the sleeping pills for maybe a few nights just to help me get back on schedule. I've debated the idea of taking a nap, but I don't know...We will see! :)

I can tell you for sure I am so glad to be here! One look at my Brit and I was just so excited and had that feeling of just pure bliss! I can't wait to take pictures and post them for you all to see!! Hopefully I will make friends pretty quick too! Stay tuned! I promise I will try to get something up for you soon!

Live, Laugh, Love!

It's Been Over a YEAR!!

Last I wrote, I had just moved into my current rental and was getting ready to start an temp job that turned out to be a complete and utter nightmare and end as quick as it began! Thankfully, not a month later I was able to find what is my current job and I can proudly say I have been working out for over a year now with potentials of a promotion and raise! (More details to follow, I don't want to jinx myself just yet, so if you are reading this, please send out all the positive vibes, say a prayer, lots of love and care as this girl could use the boost! Not only would this job be a great step in the right direction for me and my career, it would also put me back on a schedule that I painfully crave to have as my current schedule is a nightmare! Don't get me wrong, my job is good and pay AMAZING...Buuuuttt...The hours are ever changing from day-to-day and week-to-week that its hard to have anything of a life much less see my hubby who is working a lot of hours as well.

New Years Eve...

What I should be doing is going and hanging out with friends...the roads suck, I can't stay over night because of stuff going on, and the last thing I need is any trouble driving home tired or drinking, etc. SO, I decided that just this year, I'm going to make my new years about me! Been chilling with a bottle of champaign, T.V. awesome chinese food, my kid, etc. I know it may sound lame to everyone else, but you have no idea how tired I am! I've been working like a freak'n race horse over the last couple days, I've gotta do some penny pinching because I have some expenses that HAVE to be taken care of. Half of me thinks I may regret this, the other half (including my tired, burning eyes!) are telling me that this was the greatest idea EVER! Truely everyone, this isn't me being sad, angry, emotional, or anything depressing. I'm loving life right now...but sometimes, life just gets too crazy and it leaves me physically drained! Work has been off the wall! Ton...

Better Things to Come?

So, I have officially packed, unpacked, arranged sorted, decorated, re-decorated (and so forth!) the new home!! YAY!! I absolutely LOVE the new house! It's a great size, not too big, not too small and very cozy! I honestly can see us living here for a long time! (As long as the neighbors aren't crazy! Haha!). It's a semi-dettached home with 3 bedrooms 1 full bathroom and one half bathroom. A nice little living room, dining room and kitchen as well as a back yard with a nice little porch! We have neighbors to our right and left, but none behind us, so we shouldn't bug too many people! I think the best thing about this home is that we have really been able to feel like we could settle into it and really make it our "home". Not just a "house" but a "home". I'm just so pleased beyond words! 2nd good news (and perhaps a start to better things to come!) is that I was asked to work a temp job that starts tomorrow morning! I will work with the...
