Six Weeks In...

in #life6 years ago

So it's been about six weeks since I've moved to the United States from Canada and it's going great!

My son and I are all settled in with my boyfriend, @anarcho-andrei, and while there was an adjustment period with our kids (which I expected), everything seems to be heading in the right direction. So yay! My kiddo seems to be enjoying school and next week he starts speech therapy which is exciting. I'm actually really proud of how well he's adjusted to living down here. He's happy as a clam, which I am so thankful for.

As you all know, I have also started University after not being in school for like 12 years. I was a little intimidated going in because I honestly didn't know what to expect but I have high hopes for this semester. All my classes seem pretty straight forward and I have confidence I can do well in them. I have my 2D design class which I've been slaying, Psychology which I've always been interested in, Intro to Visual Arts which my design class helps a lot with and vice versa and last but not least is a mandatory University Success course which is really just a class you get an A in by just attending. Lol. I didn't want to jump right into a difficult semester after being out of the game for so long. Gotta take it easy.

And as for my relationship? Well it's amazing. I love him more every single day. Even when I'm bogged down with anxiety and depression ( like I have been this past week due to lack of sleep), he's there to pick me up and try to make me laugh. Even when I'm terrible to myself. And I truly do appreciate that because I know I'm not the easiest to be around when I'm like that. You make me so happy darling.

Last night we went on a date downtown Montgomery. We went for dinner at an Irish Pub where we indulged in some "Irish cuisine". We had reuben eggrolls for an appetizer which were actually really freaking good and then I had the shepherds pie and Andrei had the bangers and mash. All that Guinness sausage. And then for dessert we shared some bread pudding. It was so much food. Too much. So we decided to walk off our misery and wander around the downtown area checking out all the cool old buildings they were renovating and restoring. They were amazing! If only we had loads of money, we'd buy one and live in it. Crystal chandeliers and winding staircases, pillars and pianos, they were really fancy. Some not so much though, some needed a lot of work. Lol. Even though it was hot as balls outside, it was a nice date. We've been pretty busy all week so it was nice to spend some quality time with him.

So needless to say I am happy here, even after six weeks. Life is fantastic. Now.. I've got some homework to do!

Until next time!!

Great photo of you two. Glad to hear you are adjusting too. It can sometimes be hard to uproot like that. Best wish for you guys. Think of us up North when the snow flies.

I'm as excited for the next six weeks as I've been for the last six week. And the six weeks after that, and the next six weeks after, all the way down the line to the end. I couldn't be happier with how our lives turned out. I love you, honey :)

Congrats on the happy move down south! We hate to lose awesome people but I can't complain too much. The USA is my second favorite place in the whole world.

Cheers!
