My partner (IAC) accepted a position in Wales on May 1st so we have had six weeks to let it sink in. Now that we are over the initial euphoria of our decision we are now having to face the daunting reality of actually moving ourselves, our things, and our dog (more on that later) a third of the way around the world! Due to the schedules of the three of us, IAC will be moving to the land of the Red Dragon by September 1st, and me and the pup will be following about six or seven weeks later.
We have been spending the last fortnight (they say that over there right?) reading about all these things that we should and should not bring with us from other US ex-pats in the UK. Who would’ve thought that our jelly roll pans wouldn’t fit in the ovens over there. Also, Aleve is a hot commodity among the Americans too.
The rest of the summer is filling up with a graduation, weddings (3), and trying to do everything in the Bay Area that we have put off (too many to count). So that leaves us with 83 days and counting until IAC leaves and I get to spend six weeks with the P’s back in Illinois.
