Almost there.

It was getting closer and closer to me moving to Boston, yet I wasn't getting nervous!

Two weeks before I was due to fly I left my job as a restaurant manager at the Park Bistro, which I had worked at for 4 years, this made reality begin to sink it a bit, it was hard leaving some of my colleagues which had become great friends over the years. However the reality of moving was becoming more exciting.

Over the two weeks I tried to see as many of my friends and family as possible to say 'see you later' (I refused to do goodbyes as I'm not leaving forever !!) 

My birthday celebrations were also within those two weeks. So my boyfriend Scott decided to take me up to Aviemore to spend some time with him before leaving as well as seeing the bonnie highlands of Scotland! We had an amazing time seeing the scenery and spending time together. I also had the wonderful surprise of my sister and her boyfriend coming up to stay for a night and bringing the dogs up with them. So spent two days walking the dogs in the fresh air and dinning at night. 

It was just one week to go now and I still wasn't feeling nervous, it didn't feel real that I would be moving across to America in just one week.

This week I lunched and dinned out every night, it was amazing!

I went out for afternoon tea with my gran and mum one day, which was lovely, freshly made sandwiches and baked warm scones accompanied with a glass of proseco with a little raspberry in it.

I also lunched with my granny and papa which was great to see them, and I was treated to some dollars for my Boston fund.

My university girls were next, I went through to Glasgow to see them, two of them being Amy and Diane, so we were very excited and spent most of the night chatting about what amazing things we wanted to do in the states, whilst enjoying pizzas and cocktails. 

I also had a few nights out with my friends, one at shanghai shuffle in Glasgow (a karaoke bar), a night out at dusk nightclub and one final leaving night which we attempted to dress 'American themed' but it didn't go so well, however we still had an amazing night chatting and laughing and then pulling some terrible dance moves towards the end.

As it came to the Friday before I left, I realised that I really do have amazing friends and family, and I couldn't have asked for a better send off!
