I mean officially, today, we have been here for 44 days, and we have 44 more days to go until we get to go back to the old U.S. of A.
I remember waking up the first morning here alone (after Taylor went to work) thinking WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO? Unlike my dear husband, I resist change and I am a homebody. So this whole moving to the UK for 3 months was WAYY out of my comfort zone.
To be totally honest, I am still really homesick. I miss our puppy, our family, and friends. I miss the sound of hip hop on the radio, spanish moss, and crazy friendly rednecks. But nonetheless, I am still grateful for this experience. Not only have I been given opportunities I normally wouldn't have (like having a free place to stay in Europe), I think that it's really brought Taylor and I closer together. Aside from his 9-5 schedule, we mostly get to focus solely on each other. It's basically like our second honeymoon. We have no outside distractions or obligations. We just get to explore this new place together. In a way it's like we're doing it backwards, seeing a little bit of the world before we have kids, as opposed to after our kids are grown ups.
Anyway, this post is boring. There's no pics and nothing funny. Sorry.
My point is that even though I am homesick I am trying not to countdown until we get home because I want to work on living in the now.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you might miss it.

i am so happy that you guys get to have this amazing "second honeymoon". You are going to look back on these days of first being married and remember that they were some of the best of your life! sometimes i like it when you're not funny...this post made me a little teary. as does everything else in my life right now.
I will also quote another 80s movie and say, "Wherever you are, that's the place to be!" ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High")
