International move ✅

Ever plan something but when it actually happens you freak out?

I’ve been planning and looking forward to moving from the US back home to the UK for a long time. But when it really happened, I was kind of in disbelief. Sitting in my empty house having packed everything, and thinking… omfg, this is IT! I’m never going to live here again!

It all happened so fast and before I knew it, I was in my new house with almost no furniture and so. much. decorating to do. Me and my kiddo slept on a mattress on the floor until our new beds arrived, and ate our meals on a picnic blanket in the middle of the empty living room. Those empty house days are some of the best memories we’ve created in recent times. We needed a fresh start, and that felt like exactly how I imagine the beginning of a new chapter.

I still can’t believe we actually did it, and a few months earlier than I’d planned. The different school calendars mean my kid has finished school in the US only to start here in the UK with 6 weeks left until summer, but she doesn’t mind one bit!

So goodbye Florida… hello Cornwall. Here’s to our new home 🏡

@ArminArlert Kiddo is living for exploring the caves… I spend my weekends playing pirates and mermaids 😂
