Once upon a time, we moved from California to cloudy England & it was a hard adjustment. I didn’t know if we’d make it to the end of our 5 year visa, but eventually this became our new normal, & guess what? Now the possibility of moving back to the US is the scary unknown! It would be a huge adjustment to go back, & the thought of going through such a major move with a little one is daunting to say the least.
Our visa expires this summer, & we’re hoping to extend it one more year while we plan our next steps. Our options are to apply for permanent residency & make this our forever home or move back to the US. There’s a lot of factors outside our control, #Brexit being just one of them. But I’m trying to see the positives in either outcome. Whatever happens I’m so grateful for this journey & the perspective it’s given me. It’s made me so appreciative of all that we have when so many find themselves torn between countries in much worse circumstances. Being able to travel & build a life in a new country is definitely a privilege & I don’t want to take it for granted!
