Leading up to our two year mark I couldn’t help but to reflect on what the month leading up to our move was like. I looked back and felt anxious for ourselves. It was a monumental undertaking, there was so much to do and that was just to get us on the plane to the …
It’s been over a year since I wrote my “Regrets” post and I suppose it's about time to revisit that topic. I’ve seen so many varying experiences in some of the “expat” groups I’m in. There are people who hate the UK and desperately want to leave, there are those who love it and claim …
One of many common topics you hear come up when you have moved to another country is the question of where one’s home is. Most people think of the country they were born and raised in as “home,” whether or not they’ll be returning there any time soon, or ever. There are also many who …
Another summer has come and gone. Autumn came on much more suddenly than I recall from last year. It’s nice in many ways. The light and the air shift in such a way that things feel a little more magical and cozier which means it’s time for warm clothing, dog pjs, blankets and comfort food. …
How have we been here over a year already? How has it only been a year?! When I think back to the day we arrived in Scotland it seems like it was years ago. I felt so overwhelmed when we arrived here, it was nearly crushing. I still feel overwhelmed at times but in a …
I’ve meant to post about our actual flat hunt for about… geeze, I guess it’s been about a year. Well, there’s no better time than now, seriously, it’s time. Why? Now I can fess up and admit that we filmed an episode of House Hunters International. Our episode will air on the 15th of July …

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 …
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 …
