Expat Wars
So I know Nick probably doesn’t want this splashed around the internet but…he went to see Bride Wars with me last night!
I can’t really begin to explain how grateful I am for him. If we were in America I would have gathered my bridal crew, recently engaged friends, and those who favor chick flicks and the whole posse would have gone en masse. MOH MB and I would laugh and say how we could never end up like those two and talk about the dresses ( I’m sure we both would pick Anne Hathaway’s). However, I tend to miss out on those experiences here because I don’t actually have any friends….
I know, I know I need to get out more. I live in a tiny village without a car though, and my dream of public transport England isn’t exactly how I pictured it. The movie gave me a swift realization, which is sometimes you really do need your girl friends. As much as I miss my close friends in the US I know I can’t magically transport them all here to cheer me up. So my promise to you, and to myself, is to get out of the house more and take up both old and new hobbies (and hopefully make new friends!). I’m starting modern dance classes next week and maybe even taking up a new hobby like learning French.
Since coming here I really haven’t done as much wedding planning as I thought I would. I’ve gotten into a bit of a funk when it comes to wedding planning and actually owning and participating in life in a new country. However, I’m going to get back on the horse and go for it. That caterer contract that needs nailing down? I’m on it.
Have you gotten in a wedding/life funk since you started planning? How did you climb out of it?
