Hi Stephanie it's me!! I'm not stalking you I just browse on here a bit. Haha.
I just went with the motion of it all to begin with and it didn't really hit me until the packers came around 10 days before we flew. I remember thinking 'what are we doing?' After that I was an emotional wreck. The hardest thing by far was saying goodbye to my friends, family, everyone I love..... to be on our own. But it was 'our' adventure. I can honestly say the last almost 2 years of being here has made me a stronger person, my relationship with my husband has excelled and it's made me appreciate people that little bit more. Don't get me wrong, I cannot wait to go back next year to visit everyone but deep down I know I'll be looking forward to coming back. I know I won't ever stop missing everyone but life is what you make it. Just think of it as an adventure and worst case scenario you can always go back.
