Goodbye England
« on: December 26, 2007, 10:42:28 PM »
The movers are coming to pack up our stuff tomorrow. Dh and I have been saying to each other, "I can't believe we're actually going" and just feeling really mixed emotions about it all. I don't feel completely sad yet, but I know I will. His family is coming to the airport Sat am to see us off and I know I am going to cry b/c I love his family and will miss them so much.

I came here thinking this was for good, or at least 5 yrs +, so leaving this soon is a bit of a shock, but I am looking forward to a few things that I have missed (mostly superficial things), like garbage disposals and the spray things on some sinks so you can clean your sink easier in the kitchen, mexican food, and being able to call and text my friends and family easier/cheaper.

Anyway, I wanted to say that i will continue to post on here and be a regular presence, however, my perspective will be different since I will be stateside again. Dh starts work on Jan 2nd, New Year, New Country, new life!!  :)

While reading your post I realized I felt the same way.  I was really hoping to be in the UK longer, but I was also looking forward to moving home.  Good luck with everything.  Take care and have a happy new year!

You're not alone (though it may seem that way), a few of us still on here can empathize!!

Best of luck; I'm sure it will be fine! ;)
