Big Changes

In the past 9 months since I've blogged, there have been some big changes to our lives, and obviously some big changes to the blog!  Yes, folks, it's true - in a couple of months we are being transferred to London.  After a long, tough year, what better way to start off with a clean slate and a new adventure?

Because of these big changes coming in our lives, I've been re-inspired to begin blogging again.  I figure I'll mostly blog about the move and cultural changes, but I'll probably throw in some other random topics when I feel like it.

So how do I feel about moving across the world? Right now I am thrilled, terrified, ecstatic, sad, nervous and a whole lot of other emotions.  In some ways, I feel like we are only baby ex-pats, since the differences between the UK and the US are not that great.  But the worry of the unknown creeps in, and I begin to wonder how difficult this will be.

One thing that comforts me is knowing we are doing this the easy way.  Adam's company is taking care of practically everything; we basically only have to direct which stuff goes to London and which goes to storage, pick out a house, and voila, move accomplished.  I know there's more to it than that, but really, it could be much worse.

Well I don't want this to be too long, so I'll save specific topics for other posts.  Long time no see, blog world!
