be careful what you wish for

I was always told as a little girl to be careful what i wished for, along with many other things... some being reminded of the boy who cries wolf and not to make all those silly faces, or you may just stay that way. Though I, like most people never put much thought into it. That was until a few months ago. I had lived my life for several years wanting something amazing to come along. Something that was just it, and I was sure I would know when this "it" came along. And then "it" happened. Without warning or notice, my life went from the calm standard that it was in Springfield, Missouri to a whirl wind of adventure a moving that it is now. I would not go back and change anything, though, I now realize how true the statement is to be careful what you wish for. For anyone who might be a bit behind the curve of what is happening in these shoes at the moment. Here is a quick run down: Since April (all of this year) I have... ended a 4 year relationship, re-connected with a casual friend had a trip to Seattle, WA and fallen in love. I married the man of my dreams in August only after we also went on adventures to Dallas, New Orleans, Memphis and St. Louis. We moved out of the apartment we had been living in and quit my wonderful job as an assistant manager for Victoria's Secret. We moved out to my parent's house, went on a 2 1/2 week holiday to Colorado to visit some friends, ending it with a stop in Oklahoma for a few days to visit a few other friends. Finally getting my spousal visa approved, we booked ourselves onto the Queen Mary 2, an ocean liner to make the voyage to our new home in England. The ship was... interesting to say the least. We were the few non-pensioners aboard and most of the activities (IE walking, running, gym, pool and hot tub) ended at 8 pm! Though, we did get a lot of sleep and relaxation as well as some wonderful food. As well as an extremely large  amount of luggage across to our new home land. These bags were mostly made up of my clothes, some were Alex's but I have to own up to the fact that it was mostly mine. We also brought however, his bike, "George" I call him. Which of course took up it's deal of space. Upon arriving in England and our wonderful adventure northward toward London and on to trains, tubes and taxis we made it to Alex's great uncle Syd's house. Which, we are now staying at and commuting into London to look for work as well as living. We've been here since Tuesday the 19th of October and it has been a continuous roller coaster of events. From applying for jobs, to interviews, flat searches and the like. I have formed this blog to update all those who know me, as well as anyone who doesn't if it is of interest or assistance to them, to stay updated and connected with our happenings. Please feel free to leave comment and share what you may as I share how things are here in these shoes...
