Next Wednesday I pack up my last few belongings and move to from England to Florida. I will be moving with Andy, my husband, whose job is the whole reason for our move.
The usual reaction I get from people when I tell them about the move is “You must be very excited”, and there is no doubt that I am. But now that it is less than a week till I move I am also nervous a little bit worried and prone to extreme bouts of soppiness and nostalgia.
I am planning to embrace America and all it has to offer. I can’t wait to explore the country, watch the Super Bowl, celebrate Thanksgiving, drink bottomless coffee and go hunting for air potatoes (I am still not 100% sure what this is but I am doing it on my first Saturday there). However all of that will not begin until next week, now I must settle with the humdrum things that you can not escape when moving house like sorting out the sock drawer.
