six months

Tomorrow marks six months in London...seems hard to believe we've been here that long, even though it seems like a long time ago that we were packing up and leaving Seattle. I only speak for myself, but it still doesn't seem like home here. I don't feel like a stranger or total outsider, but definitely don't always feel like I belong here. So far it's been more good than bad moving here, but I gotta say I'm looking forward to moving back to Seattle. I'm really trying to stop thinking about moving back and enjoy being in London and all that it has to offer. I put together the collage here of things we've done, places we've gone and events that have happened since moving including Brighton, Brussels, Barcelona, Sicily, Seattle twice for weddings, Middy moving here, Tour de France, Wimbledon, Dave & Lisa visiting, Dad and Kathleen visiting, local sites, outings with friends here and much more. The next 18 months will bring more travel - Portugal and Budapest next - sightseeing in London, lots of visitors, my brother's wedding and whatever else this adventure brings us. I think about friends and family at home daily, but am trying to keep the fact that we are here for a limited time in perspective and have no regrets about missing out on something here when we leave.

I know exactly how you are feeling. It's so hard being away from family, but at the same time, so amazing to experience a whole new world. By the way, I love the photo collage, did you do that through picasa? I am going to steal the idea for our blog. :)
