It's been a while
Here I am, sitting and writing this at Houston International Airport after what has been the most wonderful time of my life. In the last week I did the craziest thing imaginable and jumped on a plane to meet a girl and to celebrate that little American tradition of Thanksgiving. I met the girl, celebrated thanksgiving and fell madly and deeply in love. Who’d have thought it, me, in love, not likely and yet here I am.

I’ve had the most wonderful break from the horrid routine I’d developed in Ipswich. I am headed back to the UK but I’m not headed home. Home is in the other direction and soon I’ll be back but its just going to take a little bit of time. I am making plans and I’ll have to adapt my attitude a bit when I get back especially where work is concerned. I need my present job to get the bills paid, get the debts cleared and to carry on paying for plane tickets. The next few months are going to be expensive and I’m going to be pretty broke but the end result will be a debt free me who can up and move with no worries.

Looking to the future I am going to have to start looking for a new job in a new country and that is going to be no easy feat but I shall endeavour and persevere until I can be with the one I love. Then the other issue with this move is that I am moving to a country where I am going to require a visa in order to stay and work in the country. So there is a huge amount of work to do and I am going to need every ounce of strength and support I can get. I think in a n effort to make myself more marketable I think I’ll undertake and finish my Certificate in Insurance as well as learning to drive. Anything I can do to improve my chances of getting a new job in the US will be an added bonus.

So 5 years after I got back to the UK it looks like I am off again. A whole new adventure. From what little I saw of the US and its people it is a place where I am going to be OK with plenty of places to explore and a girl who is unbelievably similar in personality to me. We have our differences well we need to after all we share the same name so something has to tell us apart.

I need to get going. I’ve a few hours to kill and I’d like to chill for a bit and watch a dvd and try to escape everything I am feeling and thinking. I’m back to posting again and I have lots of news to share of things gone by and things which are coming up. I’ll write more soon.
