I like to be in America...

...Westside Story style..

You'll have to forgive me guys, it's been some time since I've sat in front of a computer and this keypad is taking a little getting used to. There are a few differences to our British one AND there is no sign for pound sterling..what the?

Anyway, as most of you know, I know reside in Knoxville, TN. I'm still struggling with wrapping my head around the fact that I'm not just on vacation, that I'm going to be living here for the forseeable future. That I'm going to be building a life here. I lay in bed this morning thinking about my England home, thinking about what the building looks like. Wish I had taken the time to snap a picture before I scurried away in the early hours of the morning. I'm constantly thinking about people back home, friends and family. Random people I would often see in the neighbourhood. Wondering if they even notice my absence. The world keeps on spinning. People keep on living their lives, just with one less person in it...Me.

I have been in the USA for just over a week now. I have;
*just received my social security number! Woo hoo!
*eaten at Dennys (not as awesome as I rememebr)
*had some great BBQ
*eaten beef jerky for the first time
*had my first s'more
*got a touch screen phone (I broke, it just looks so pretty)
*had an awesome weekend away with the husband
*learned to live with a kitty around
*fallen in love with the two new dogs my in-law have
*drunk red wine with my MIL
*gone for a walk in the woods with the husband (I freaked a little)
*kept in contact with my friends (thanks FB)
*had lots of hugs and kisses with the husband...which was the whole point of moving in the first place.

I'm gonna try and remember the details so that I can update via email on my phone. I know this is a really short post BUT remember to keep in contact with me on Facebook. I think I have a few new requests to accept but I should get to that today. I hope all my blogger friends are well xx
