And another one...

Since I'm just getting this blog going, I'm sure a lot of people reading this are friends and family who already know a lot about me. This will be a short and sweet post just to give background of why I'm creating this blog.

In September of 2015 I met my husband Sam in a bar (like all good love stories begin), and so started the big love story that most already know. We endured the long distance relationship until July 2017 when Sam moved to New York with me. We got married that August in a small ceremony in Central Park with just our families and just recently enjoyed our beautiful wedding this August in England with friends and family.

Now I won't go into full detail but immigration was a massive fun sucker for Sam's big move to New York. There wasn't much that we could do in terms of traveling, since it took him about three and a half months to get his residence card. But anywho, the big question people might have is why leave New York? When we sat down and thought about what we really want out of life England was the easiest option. We want to travel, and we want to actually be able to enjoy our lives rather than live to work and work to live. It was massively hard to leave New York because we loved living in Ditmars, Astoria and I've got an incredible close group of friends that lived a few subway stops away. Not to mention I am the youngest in my family and have a very close relationship with my parents. Fast forward to now, and although I'm going through a similar situation of getting my visa in England the process was a heck of a lot easier and faster than New York. I've got about 8 weeks or less until I get my visa in which case the real fun will begin of booking weekends away, and actually working full time. I actually miss working because I need structure and routine, but that's why I've really started this blog. I want to use my time wisely and actually do something that I enjoy. It was actually Sam's idea that I start this because when we do go out we get to do some pretty incredible things.

Hopefully this will be a good way for me to see more of my new home, meet new people, and give people an idea of what to do when they are here or there.

Enjoy!
