My favourite time of year!

I just love this time of the year, it's getting cold, the trees look beautiful and I get to wrap up warm in my snuggly scarf and wooly hat! Last night Ben and I went to see a big fireworks display next to my old school. It was such a great night and I'm glad we got to see some fireworks together before I move away. Although I was driving the poor guy crazy saying "this is great but nobody does fireworks like Disney!", it's true, I can't really explain it but when you see a Disney fireworks show you'll see what I mean.



Ok, what can I update you on? Well, our spare bedroom is full of the things I'm planning on taking with me. When I say full I actually mean that there are a few piles of clothes, a huge Mickey Mouse and some photos. I'm really surprised by how little I have to take, it looks like I'll barely fill my two suitcases....although I still have 3 weeks before I go so that could all change!

My passport and visa were safely delivered to my house last week (and I'm very proud of how miserable I look in my photo!) so I am now official and should be let into the States with no problems. I still have to get medical insurance but it's so bloomin' complicated I am putting it off! I'm sure Dad will sort me out and we'll get it done next week.


Other than that not much has happened. I am now working until a week before I leave which is nice as it means I will have a little time to spend with my nearest and dearest :o)


I'm getting so excited about meeting the people I've been getting to know online and over the phone. I CAN'T WAIT for my flight and first day in Florida with Sam and Claire, I can tell we're going to have loads of fun. On the other hand, I am still having the odd nervous moment but I'm sure that's normal when moving away for such a long time. I know that everything will be fine in the end as this is something I have dreamt about doing since we first went to Disney World when I was 5! And if it all goes pear shaped, it's not the end of the world...I can add it to that infamous list of things in life titled as being "an experience"!!


Right, I must get back to the horrible job that is, once again, clearing my room. Oh and I have yet another cold, I think I caught this one from a girl at work. (Note to anyone wanting to do some temping - you get ill easily from the constant moving around and change of job!).

ONE MONTH TO GO!

Oh I missed it...I was getting ready to write a little post celebrating the one month mark and I went and bloomin' missed it! Never mind, I can now say....................
