Wow- that was such an encouraging story to hear today! I'm scared shitless, to be quite frank. I lived in Ireland for a year and in England for a year, both times traveling to these countries with no support network whatsoever. Ireland was wonderful but besides my housemate, I had grave difficulty meeting friends in Leeds, England. Thankfully, I met Andrew shortly after I arrived there and he tended to occupy most of my time and
energy outside of my MA. But yes, it is a huge lifestyle change and finding my bearings is going to take a very long time. It looks like And might be stationed in Glasgow, Scotland for his final two years before he leaves the Core. It will be quite an adventure living up in Scotland but again, a brand new beginning. We'll just have to see how things unfold.. Thanks so much for the encouragement! 31 hours til he's here [I know, i'm pathetic- blame it on my hormones]
