The adventure begins!

[Valmai]

Wow i finally get to write one of these - but where to start?
Our wedding seemed to last 2 weeks because we had gone away and then had the party when we got back, but i have now had a week to recover. Our house is now ours again with wedding present stored away though im still finding bits of confetti about the place.
I now have a large amount of course work to get done, mainly because i took time off while away, but there are only 2 mths left and then it should be over and i should have a nice BSc in my hand!
As some of you know we are then moving to China in August so we have to get visas and vaccinations sorted for that, and hopefully find someone to rent our house. Who this is will make a difference to how much of our things we leave and how much we try and store in places - so im gonna cross that bridge when we come to it.
Right im meant to be working so im going to back to researching capitalism and terrorism - oh such joy! x

YEA! YOu started an after wedding journal!!!
China? That is amazing, I guess I missed why you were moving to China.. Your wedding pictures are amazing as well!

[mariaandmanish]

Yay!!! I'm so glad that you decided to start a marriage journal, Valmai! I loved your wedding pics, and can't wait to hear how everything gets settled in preparation for the next big thing!

Thanx i thought that at least this will stop me getting the post wedding blues! We are going to China to teach English for a year, we sent our CVs and got accepted by an agency out there. They will meet us in Beijing airport and take us to the town about 200mls away, then provide accomodation for us while we look at what offers they have found us, then we get to pick where we work. The jobs will come with accomodation, either apartment or house, so once decided we will then move in and start!
Its all quite exciting but because we own our house here etc it's going to take a lot of sorting out - though not nearly as much as the wedding lol x

That is really exciting! I would love to do something like that, then being able to do it with your husband is really exciting. Post wedding blues, I am sure you will be so busy with your new adventure you will not even think about it! :)
Just keep looking at your gorgeous pictures and remember that all your hardwork paid off!!!

Very cool I wish I could go to China too!! I wish you the best of luck and have a safe trip

Wow! China! I missed that earlier too. Best wishes with that and the rest of your courses.

Wow, China huh?!?!

That's a huge step! Congrats on being accepted!

[Valmai]

Thanks everyone! China has been in the planning since last August but there has been so much else going on that i try not to think about it too much!

I have so much course work on at the moment it's unbelievable, and i have a weeks placement in a school that has to be done. My lectures are dwindling off now though and next week is the last week so i can concentrate on assignments fully then.
Jamies sister has said she is interested in renting our house while we go to China which means much less hassle as we can just store most of our personal stuff safely in the attic.
Apart from that then life is on hold until at least the end of April lol Having got to my age without getting wed i wondered how i would actually feel but i have to say 'it feels GOOD!!' in an odd undescribable (?sp) way!

[NicksBride]

aww, glad all is well. Sounds like you are super busy! But in an exciting way. Hope to hear more updates on the move and your newlywed glow. :)
