4 Months in (ok, like 4.5 months in)

On 18th Nov 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

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 …

NINos, Utilities, and Bank Accounts, OH MY!

There is so much involved in immigrating to a new country... duh, you knew that, I knew that, but really, it can be overwhelming nonetheless. I can say that I feel confident that all of my research prior to the move prepared me for the many things we'd need to do to start our lives …

Two Months in… Almost

On 24th Aug 201826th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

Well, here we are. In one week, we will have been living in Scotland for two months. I left my laptop in the U.S. for my brother to dispose of since it was literally falling apart and I just this week purchased a new laptop. I only mention this since I will essentially just be …

Our Last Week in the U.S.

On 27th Jun 201825th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

This is the week. We fly out this Saturday. It’s still pretty surreal. While I have a firm peace that all will work out, and it really has so far, my natural biological response to all of this has left me on edge. I’m not sleeping well, there’s so much to do and of course …

Preparation, now let’s Stress

On 27th May 201825th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

Oh my goodness… who would have thought that moving to a new country and starting our lives over from scratch could be so stressful? Ok, I guess I did anticipate this all being incredibly stressful, it’s just so much though. The good news is that our visas came through with no issues whatsoever. Thank God! …

Awaiting Visas

On 5th May 201825th May 2019 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

We’re in limbo! We’re currently in the odd stage of the process where we don’t have our visa approvals but we have to keep moving forward as if we do. I’ll explain. When you apply for a visa you have to provide an anticipated move date; however, you shouldn’t book any flights or make any …

WE’RE MOVING TO SCOTLAND!!!!

On 6th Apr 201826th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

Oh my sweet Lord… yes, it’s really been nearly a year since this idea of Scotland rooted in our brains. Honestly, I can’t even express to you how trying this has all been. Getting the application together for Ryan’s endorsement was a frigging nightmare because of all the moving parts, it was like herding cats. …

Holding Pattern

On 3rd Jul 201725th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

Not too much has changed since my last post. I feel like we are in a holding pattern and just sort of waiting for things to come together. We have an attorney assisting us with this process but she is unable to do anything until we provide her with all of the documents needed to …

In the Beginning

On 13th Jun 201725th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

Have I lost my mind? Am I dreaming a wee bit too much? Maybe. I am starting this blog with not the slightest of a clue where I’ll be by the end of this year. For me the thought of being here in my current place of residence at the end of the year is …
