So here I am, sitting on a couch in Los Angeles. I was in Dallas for a couple of hours two days ago. And then I was in Jacksonville for about a month before then. And then all the way up in Manhattan just before that. And tonight, I leave American soil to move to Australia. Sydney to be exact.
If you had asked me five years ago where I saw myself heading in to the year 2011, I would not have said to Australia. In fact, if you had told me I would be moving there, I would have said you were crazy. However, now that I'm hours away from that plane ride, I couldn't get there quick enough.
I'm moving for love. Yes, love. I found me an Aussie and after a year of dating long distance, I've had it. So I'm uprooting my roots and starting over 'Down Under' as they say. It's going to be a very interesting year, I promise you, and this blog is going to chronicle the crazy, hectic, wonderful, lovely and amazing experiences I'm bound to have.
I'm going to have a lot to learn. New measurements in temperatures, distance, weight. New lingo. New insects and animals. New food. New friends. New jobs. New apartment. And even kind of a new relationship with my Aussie, considering we've been a part for so long.
So I hope you enjoy this blog and 'the ride'... I know I will.
Been thinking about you all morning - wondering if you made it until 6 to sleep, feeling excited that you are halfway through the flight and anxious for the next update. So happy for you and so grateful we got to spend time together on your way. Love you!
