Been living in the UK for over a month now. I apologise for the lack of posts, I've been busy trying to get settled in and spending time with my hubby. I have no regrets for moving. I do miss my family, but I am so much happier here. I am able to get to places a lot easier, I have many areas to explore now. But the best part is, I am with my husband for the long haul now. No more goodbyes. I really look forward towards the end of February. Why? Because by the end of February, I will have been in the UK for three months - the maximum length I could stay for a tourist visa. Once I surpass three months, that will be confirmation for me.
I keep dreaming that I am back home...I hate that. I wish it would stop. But I always feel better upon waking up and seeing my husband laying there beside me. I am hoping that I will get an accent soon...I am already getting into the habit of writing in British English (if you couldn't already tell by the "apologise")
I had gotten my biometrics card about a day or two after I got back. There was a bit of confusion getting it, but it is in my possession now. It serves as an alternative ID.
I just apologise again for the lack of posts. Trying to get settled in here. It took me like two weeks to get used to the time zone...as the UK is six hours ahead of where I had lived in the US.
Can't get enough of chicken tikka masala, or fish and chips :P I believe I am going to need to get into the habit of drinking tea more often though...I am still caught on preferring iced tea. Surprisingly, iced tea IS available in bottles at my local Tesco. (That felt good to say) The only thing I wish I had readily available, however, is Kraft macaroni and cheese. Man, I miss that stuff :P Back in the US, I ate it pretty much everyday without ever getting tired of it. I went on the Tesco website and it says it's available for £2.20, but I couldn't find it in stores. So I would have to order it online and get it delivered.
My only complaint so far whilst I've been here is the fact that I ordered my husband a Christmas present 02/12/16 (gotta get used to writing the dates like this as well) but it STILL hasn't arrived. It's been nearly 5 weeks. I ordered it off of Amazon, and it said it was going to arrive 29/12/16, but it STILL hasn't arrived yet! And it's 03/01/17 now. I ended up ordering one (not saying what it is in case he is reading this) off of Otaku.co.uk. It hasn't came yet and I have no way of tracking it, but I am hoping it will get here.
Also YouTube needs to get their shit together...I want to publish my playthroughs, but they won't allow videos longer than 1 hours at the moment in their editor. Noticed this 18/12/16 and it still hasn't been fixed....seriously, YouTube :/
But apart from those two things, I am really happy here and enjoying my time. Those two things are not even related to me being in the UK. Well...I don't know about the present ordeal. This isn't the first time Royal Mail has screwed my husband and I over.
My husband and I are looking for a place to rent at this moment. But for now, we've got time to relax. This visa shit is over. We can now relax.
Until 2019...when we have to do the Definite Leave to Remain visa shit....oh god....
Happy 2017 all!
