"Why did you move to England?"

Hello (to anyone who reads this..And I really hope people will.)

Well, where do I even begin???

^ That question has been in my head for the past few years now, so you would think that I know the answer by now!

I grew up in America. I loved it. I will always love it. (More about that some other time.)

Everything about my life in America was great, I have no complaints. As a kid I loved it so much and used to think I would never leave New Jersey let alone the US of A. But in 2007 my life changed when I met a guy from England. 

Some people thought it was cheesy, while other people I knew thought it was romantic. 

A lot of people judged me and tried to give me their opinions, but I didn't want to listen. I was going to stand my ground ..And I did!

Me and Sam fought hard to make our long distance relationship prosper. I won't lie it was really tough but really worth it! It all paid off on the 20th of May 2011 when we got married here in England. 

I have so much to blog about. I should have began blogging sooner but life has been extremely busy since preparing to move here and settling in here.

I want this blog to focus on my transition into life here as an American expat in the UK. I hope that it will help other Americans who are thinking of moving abroad, or are already living abroad. I'll also try to talk about non expat things and just write about things in general because I would like for my family and friends back home to keep up with my new life.

 I'll mention more about me moving here, what the process was like and how I am getting on now in later posts.

Before I end this I'll just simply answer the question to what this post is titled. It's the question everyone I come into contact with keep asking me and I only have this answer:

I moved to England to be with my soul mate. Simply because if I didn't I would probably live the rest of my life thinking "What If?" There's a huge world out there and I want to explore it and start anew because we only have one life and I want to live mine to the fullest. 

I know people are interested but some simply can not fathom why I moved, even after I explain why..

.:SMH:.

So here's to hoping some of you can understand it.
