Turning over a new leaf... and a thousand others.

The family arrive tomorrow. Well at least the first mob of them do.

My parents, my sister, niece and best friend get here late tomorrow night and thus will commence a week of utter craziness..

The story is long, but the short of it is that I came to the states to visit my boyfriend seven weeks ago with plans to go back home in May. Three weeks in we get engaged and this Friday we get married!

I've lived in England all my life up until now and suddenly I find myself living with my fiancé and his Latino family in the state of Utah waiting for members of my very English family to come and join us for a week of celebrations and rushed preparations before me and my man tye the knot and I began applying for perminant residency here in the U.S. as his wife.

I purposefully put no comma's or breaks in that sentence because that's how life feels at the moment. No comma's and certainly No breaks!!

Life has spun out of control since Christmas, that's for sure.
I find myself on the verge of so much change and with little time to reflect on the reality of just how much. At times, what lies ahead can seem incredibly daunting and somewhat overwhelming but I know this is a right, new step for me.

There are so many challenges ahead; living far away from my family, living far away from my friends, becoming a wife, learning to live with a partner, learning how to cook, learning how to understand and how to speak Spanish, finding a place to study, finding a place to work, finding a place to live, learning how to finance, applying to become a perminant U.S resident, learning how to live in America, and learning how to fit into two new cultures... the list goes on and I want to capture it all!

Life is no longer me at home with my parents, attending full time work during the week and jumping off cliffs and playing card games with my other single friends at the weekends.

I am defiantly turning over a new leaf along with what feels like a thousand others... It is all very fast, very new and very scary but I'm hecka excited and very in love so bring on the leaves and let's start turning.
