Really embracing this enthusiasm as I recover from a five-day flu (and as my appetite slowly creeps back).

London, r u real life? These sweet cobble stone streets and flower boxes get me every time.

Finally taking some time to explore our new town - and seeing the changing of the guard for the first time was a really exciting experience. London, you are growing on me... especially after enjoying a couple of cold pints in the pub for yesterday’s quarter final game in the World Cup. “It’s coming home, it’s coming home, football is coming home.” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We’ve spent just over one month in England (and one week in the new flat), and I can’t pretend I haven’t had daily dreams of my newly built, freshly cleaned Chicago apartment, my schnoodle/bestie who is still in Nova Scotia and my favourite burger place a couple of blocks south of our old apartment. Moving to a new country is hard, moving to an old terraced house in a new (to you) neighbourhood in a new city is hard. Right now it feels like everything is hard but I’m choosing to be grateful. I’m grateful for my new yoga mat (thanks @meg_glover902 @ctg.lover @christineeddywheeler for the bday gift!), a safe place to call home (and unroll my mat), an entirely new city to explore, and quite possibly the most patient, kind and level headed life partner in @jasonthurrott. Things might not be perfect right now, but eventually they will all make sense.

Thank you to everyone for all of the birthday wishes! It was a special day in our new city and while this whole adventure hasn’t exactly been smooth, I’m feeling very lucky to have this guy by my side (and into my 30th year). The texts, messages and sweet memories have been the best treat - I am feeling very lucky and loved.

We’re moved into our first London flat - we may be surrounded in boxes/bubble wrap, but we’re here! The next few days are going to be full of unpacking, cleaning and assembling. Luckily I’ve got this guy on my side who is much better looking while sweaty and much faster at building furniture. We may not have much right now but we have a bed to sleep on (no thanks to me) and a West London roof over our heads tonight.

Three weeks into this London adventure and there’s no one I’d rather spend it with than this #BrightonBae (even though there are days where the stress makes us a little less than lovable).

Finally feeling better and still dreaming of these Brighton views.

Back in London and dreaming of sea views with these sweeties this past weekend. There’s a lot to be said about friendships where you don’t see each other for five years but once you’re reunited it’s like you were never apart. Had the best weekend - and dare I say we’re really settling into London life nicely (thanks to friends and family here).

These are the faces of two very excited (but also very tired) humans who just secured their first London flat (West London, more specifically). Now onto furniture shopping so we at least have a bed at move-in - feeling like (almost) true Londoners now!

If you squint hard enough it’s ALMOST rainbow haven. Loving these days in London (and the outer edges of London).

The tourist in me was very 😍 over this photo (and still hasn’t grasped that we live here now).

Going to sleep somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean and waking up in London. The adventures never stop with @jasonthurrott and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you to everyone who has tolerated us over the past month while we navigated the immigration journey - we couldn’t have done it without you. To the family and friends who listened to us vent, reassured us things would “always work out” and let us be generally impatient human beings, we appreciate you and love you. Whether you were there physically or across the country (or border), we are feeling so lucky to have you. Stay tuned for way too many London snaps - it’s an odd (but lovely) feeling when a lifelong dream to live in Europe is realized. We’ll see you all across the pond! Xx

Just two kids in matching @2crowsbrewing shirts trying to keep their cool.

Everyone PRETEND YOU’RE HAPPY. Man, these mayflies are becoming an evening walk buzzkill. @jasonthurrott
