6 months in.

We've officially lived in England for a little over 6 months. I can't believe we're 1/4 of the way into this thing.

In some ways I feel like we just moved here in other ways I feel like we've been here forever.

Looking back at our first impressions and the craziness of moving to Tunbridge Wells I am amazed we survived. It was definitely a bleak and stressful beginning.

Then I think about all of the little miracles that sprinkled the gloomy months and I am so grateful.

In 6 months, we've been to Scotland, Wales, Northern England, and Italy. In 6 months my little baby has started inching towards toddlerhood and Livvy has become even more grown up then I ever imagined.

In 6 months Lincoln and I have dealt with more than we ever thought we could. I never knew I could love him as much as I do today. His patience, kindness and friendship has become more important to me than ever before.

I've realized that while I still ache for my family and friends, my home will forever be where my gummy-smiling baby boy and sweet girl are playing. And that little home and little family can be happy even in a new country with many new challenges and new adventures.
