I'm sitting here alone in this shell of an apartment that I have called "home" since the start of my England journey. It didn't hit me until tonight that I am going to be a little bit sad to leave! I loved my comfy leather chair and ottoman by the window where I could read, take naps, day dream and watch the world move at a recreational park space with laughing children, occasional barking dogs...Always laughter, which is something that is so up lifting to hear! It's small and cozy in here and in some ways, very secure. Not to mention how quick and easy it is to clean!
I LOVE the new house though! I'm excited to have SPACE! I love the fact that I will be able to use my surround sound system! I can play Dance games on my Wii without worrying if the dancing is to loud for the neighbors below! I'm sure I will fall in love with a new place to read, a back yard, new scenery, etc. (So excited about the conservatory!! I think that will be my new favorite place!) More than anything though, I hope the neighbors will be friendly and we will have the opportunity to make friends. I'm a little worried seeing that this neighborhood is filled with older couples with children...I hope they can make room for the little American girl with high spirits and big personality! I waved and said hello this morning to the neighbor across the stree and she said hi back...Soooo progress? :)
As of today, I've managed to clear the guest bedroom completely out (except the bed frame and dresser as they are too big for the car!), the bathroom, some of the living room and kitchen. I think Dave will be pleased about the progress when he sees it!
Overall, I'm excited and see this as a new step in life and like any other change, embrace the idea of change and possibilites that go with it! I'll always remember my first "home away from home", but I think this new home will offer more opportunities in bringing the family closer together (my husband and his daughters plus more opportunities to do things with the extended family!), it allowes room for growth if we ever decide to have a child of our own (my fault really, can't seem to make up my mind on that one!)....Not to mention it has it's very own sauna! LOL!
Will let you know how things pan out! Maybe even add a pic or two!
Live, Laugh, Love!
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.
