I'm going to be leaving the States on November 21st. I've booked the one way flight for England that day, and it will be from that point on where I'll begin my life as an expatriate. But most importantly, I'll be with my husband. There will be no ridiculous distance between us anymore. We will finally close this distance. My husband is coming to the States this Saturday on November 5th. He will take me back with him on the 21st. I've already started packing. He will help me pack as well, for he'll be bringing near-empty suitcases. I still can't believe this is happening. I was certain I would be doomed to a lifetime of unhappiness, and that this visa would be rejected. I was so worried about that. I was worried that upon getting my documents back, that it would be rejected. And that I would be doomed more unhappy months away from him. I was even considering on giving up on him if it was rejected, but I know my loyal nature wouldn't stand for that.
Right now, though, I'm getting antsy. I have trouble enjoying anything else but packing. I'm ready to go home. I'm hoping that once he gets here, my interests would return. Because as of this point, if I'm not packing, I'm laying on my bed incredibly bored. I'm getting impatient. I've waited 6 years for this. I am not sure I can wait anymore. I'm ready to go! My mom is sad to see me go, though, and I hate to see her this way. She didn't want me to leave so soon, so I'm having to leave just a couple days before my vignette expires. I don't want to leave that late, but I will, to make mom happy.
I never thought I'd finally find happiness. It's just waiting for it that I'm not sure I can do. Each day is going to drag. At least until my husband gets here. I can guarantee that when he gets here, the rest of November will fly by and the 21st will be here in the blink of an eye.
So now you may be asking what is going to come of this blog now that I'm closing the distance? Well, the next posts will be about my expatriate experience. Because this isn't over. There's the Definite and Indefinite Leave to Remain visas. I don't have to worry about the Definite Leave to Remain until July 2019. But when I get there, I will not be a citizen yet. I will only be an expat. A spouse of a citizen, basically. When I get there, I'll need to pick up my biometric residence permit. I will also provide advice, at least to the best of my ability. I cannot provide legitimate advice otherwise I will get in serious legal trouble. I might just end up making a tab on this webpage full of general advice. But I cannot go in depth without lawyers gettin' on my butt. I don't want to get in legal trouble after successfully getting approved to go over there. But for the most part, I may be posting expat blogs. The "Distance Between Us" tab will also be updated to accommodate us when I get there :D
