I can say that today is a milestone for me. Today is my first anniversary in the UK. I arrived on my spousal visa one year ago. It seems that not long ago does it? There have been highs and lows for me while i have been in the UK. Even now, i feel like not quite such a freak like i once did. I can do everyday things like errands and get myself to work and appointments. Boy did i feel like a fish out of water coming here.
All i can do each day is do my very best because i dont know what may happen or what or how people will react. Living as an expat in the UK is quite an adventure, so is marriage. For all of us here on uk yankee, we are all very adventurous people that have come to settle in a foreign country, whether if it is for education, work , or marriage/settlement.
I have learned the most from reading posts from members here. THere seems to me to be many fascinating people on this site. I like the fact that everyone here has a story to tell. Many here need to work in immigration. You know your stuff and are willing to help others out with questions that they may have.
The best thing for me is that during this past year that i have gotten the chance to meet a couple of members on this site that live in Portsmouth like me. I want to thank you for giving me a chance. Here's to 2 interesting and kind women.
For any one that is about to make the one year milestone, congrats. It is just the beginning of a new life for many of us that live here in the UK.
