Well, today is exactly one year from the (first) time me and the boys landed here in our new home of England. It's kind of bittersweet, seeing as we were back on a plane to NY within 10 days, and we spent horrible, gutwrenching hours at the airport before being told we were going to be deported...
But it's been - even without the crap we've gone through - the best year of my life. Probably the best year (so far) of my kids' lives as well. Our lives are so much better. We're happier. We're closer.
It's hard to believe it's been a year. But most of the time, it's harder to believe it's ONLY been a year...and not our whole lives.
I'm a little too tipsy to go into this too much - four pints at a local real ale festival to celebrate - but I want to thank everyone here for all the help and input they had in the beginning of this adventure. Every little bit has helped make this transition easier. And I hope that I've been able to help others this past year, and for a long time to come.
