Either Homesick or Lonely...Can't Decide...

So today has left me full of mixed emotions. The workout at the gym and the sunny warm walk home was definitely a mood-booster! I was grateful for the break from the freezing cold, cloudy, dreary, rainy weather. But as the day moves on, from my apartment window I can see the neighbors walking by with there family, friends and loved ones and it makes me sad. It made me homesick for my family and miss my friends. That's where I realized that maybe I was more lonely than I thought.

I knew that this move was going to mean a lot of change and adjustment and until I'm able to work, my fiancee has to work, so it means he's gone the better part of the week sleeping in his truck. We've talked about him going back into real estate again after I start working. Ultimately, I want to see him doing something he loves and enjoying the rest of his working life. So, we will see what the future will bring! But I miss him a lot when he's gone and hope to have him home every night soon. :)

I also think what I need to do is just step out of my comfort zone a little more and seek to meet people whether it's here in the apartment complex or maybe even at the gym. But I'm hopeful! I think the more I get involved in the culture and such, the better the situation will become.

Bright news would be that Staples still seems interested in having me come interview when I'm legally able to, so that's exciting! My wedding dress is here also and fits PERFECTLY! :) I'm so excited about the fit and everything! It's absolutely stunning! I should also be getting my stuff from the movers soon as well! It will be nice to be surrounded by some of my things! So cross your fingers for a call to set up delivery (as I know it's here in England now!) I'm also working out daily at a fantastic gym that I got signed up for last week and I've been doing the P90X workouts (I do 4 days at the gym then the last two at home, but I go to the gym for cardio and the hot tub! :) I'll document the results as I see them and let you know what I think of the workout as I go!

Alrighty! Time for some well needed sleep! I hope you all have a wonderful day! Remember not to take anything for granted! You never know what it meant to you till it's gone!

Live, Laugh, Love!

New Home and time to make new memories!

It's been a good week! Got moved out of the apartment, cleaned it out and got our deposit back. Moved into the new house, unpacked all the boxes and put everything in its place...Wel ALMOST everything! The only thing left to do are minor little projects that will have to wait because they cost money! (i.e. we need a shelf for all our movies which are sitting on the side board, can't afford to get a bookshelf now (we want one from IKEA which matches the rest of our living room furniture) Therefore, it will have to wait till we build up the old bank account again! It feels homey! I like that it's a mixture of old and modern. It creaks like an old house when you go up the stairs and walking around the upstairs area (Which will really make it difficult to for anyone to sneak around as it is so loud! LOL!)It makes other weird creaking and squeaking noises, but I just chalk it up to a house that is settling? It's too new to have any history! I like that there is space t...

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...

No, I think you are stuck with me!

Well, after a few days of playing around on Tumblr, I've decided that it will serve one purpose, just not the one that I have for this site! ((I know all 1 of you are sighing with relief! Lol!)) I do have the Tumblr site, but I've decided that the reason for keeping that is to post videos (which I will try to make more!) and just generally show you around England and expat life as well as share my adventures, etc. it's a very light and fun and hopefully interesting travel blog basically! :) This site I will reserve for my personal experiences to share with my closest friends, family, etc. so you know what's up with me personally! I will however, post the link to my new Tumblr site soon for your enjoyment! Alright, back to relaxing! Love you guys!
