It's time!!!
« on: May 15, 2014, 08:44:19 PM »
Tonight is the last night I'll be sleeping in my bed! Tomorrow I start my journey to England for the last time (atleast the last time I'll be doing it alone)!

I'm so excited and happy that this day is FINALLY here!
But strangely (or maybe not so strangely) enough, I'm slightly nervous and sad at the same time... I didn't think I would have these feelings, but maybe it's normal to feel this way? I think it's starting to hit me that this is different than just visiting my fiancé for a few weeks and that it's more permanent this time... I'm so excited and happy to finally be living in England and even more so to be with my Hubby-to-Be, but I know I'll be missing my mom a lot... I'm a total "mama's girl" and she's my best friend even though I'm 25 lol

I'm pretty sure what I'm feeling is normal, I just needed to get it off my chest because now that I put it all down into words, I feel a bit better

For now atleast, because I know saying goodbye to my mom at the airport tomorrow will make me sob like a baby!!! Lol

So. Many. Emotions!!!!! Haha

I think your somewhat mixed feelings are very normal, this is a big change in your life even though it is a happy one.

I wish you a bon voyage and happy thoughts on the start of your new life.  :)

Thank you!(:

Glad to know I'm not just trying to convince myself that it's normal to feel this way lol

This is so exciting!  I hope your new life in England is all that you hope and more.  Nerves and nostalgia are all part of the package.  Tomorrow will be hard but just focus on the final goal.  Technology is fantastic and your mom is only a phone call or a Skype away!  Are you making the move on your own?  If so, I applaud you!  I have already told my husband that he has to come help me move or else I may not be able to get on that plane,.  Have a safe and uneventful trip and best of luck in your knew life!

Normal- Normal- Normal ... Very Normal !!!

I have been doing the every 6 months for the last few years - just knowing I don't "have" to come back in 6 months is very scary ... 

I DID book with that scanner site, got a great price ... Will let you know how it all goes after I get there the end of the month ....

 I wish you many years of happiness and I do look forward to seeing your wedding photos ...

Have a safe and wonderful flight ....

Beatlemania- thank you!!(: and yeah, Skype/FaceTime is a life saver (:
And yes, I'll be making the journey on my own with my fiancé waiting for me at the airport ^_^ I have the whole romantic "run and jump into his arms and kiss eachother passionately as soon as I see him" scenario in my head haha


NMF-thanks for reassuring me! Lol it's really nice to know other people feel the same!  And awesome! Yes, please let me know so I can use it in the future(: I hope not all works well for you!
