I’ve found myself oddly “homesick” lately in some ways. Actually, I don’t even think homesick is the right description since I can’t say the US felt like home but I am longing for things long past at this point. Allow me to start off by saying I love Glasgow. I love Scotland. I never want …
We’ve lived in Scotland almost eight months now, it really does feel like it’s been longer. Things are going well for the most part. I’m writing this mostly for the purposes of memory keeping, so pardon any rambling here. I’m enjoying my job so far. Of course, I would love to do something more creative, …
It’s so hard to believe we’ve been here seven months already. In some ways it feels like we’ve been here so much longer because of all that has happened in that short period of time, and in some ways it feels impossible that we’ve already been here this long. Every time I head south of …
Before we even visited Scotland in 2017, I was researching the process of bringing dogs over, trying to determine if moving to Scotland was even an option, just in case we loved it. No matter how much we loved Scotland we knew if the dogs couldn’t make it, or if they had to be quarantined, …
I’m taking a moment here to deviate a little from my usual ramblings. This post is specific to those wanting to move to the UK and/or who are in the process of moving. I’m setting up a “links” page but since that will provide lots of random non-moving related links I wanted to provide a …
Happy 2019! Time keeps marching on and one day bleeds into the next, though I find the end of the year calls for pause and reflection on what the heck happened over the last year and contemplation regarding what one hopes the next year might bring. I’m not much of a goal setter, if I …
Long time, no see! I’m slacking here, I know. We are quickly approaching our six-month mark in Scotland and I can honestly say we’re not quite where I though we’d be by this point; however, all in all things have been pretty alright, more on that later (likely in my New Year's post). Thanksgiving was …
I've dropped the ball a bit on posting weekly as I had intended. I’ve lacked some motivation lately, as I was sick for a little while and am now working on becoming a functioning human being again. I managed to catch the flu for the first time in… I don’t even remember when I last …
It’s hard to believe that we have been here three months. We have crammed a lot into those three months. If I think about it, it actually feels like we’ve been here longer. It’s been such a journey, it doesn’t seem possible that all of this stuff has occurred in the time frame of only …
Over the last few months the topic of “regret” has come up a few times on different FB groups I’m in and it’s generally someone who’s getting ready to move here or is seriously considering the move and is wondering if any expats in the group have regretted the move. This is a very real …
