My husband and I have now been in Oxford for two weeks! We are really enjoying it here and have made improvements to ourselves while being here. We have made these improvements by choice, but the city in which we now live has also forced the changes on us.
Oxford
Kindness from Friends and Strangers
Today I’m just going to ramble a bit about some of the kindness that I’ve encountered since being here.
The Journey to Our Flat
Traveling can be stressful, whether you are driving a couple of hours to see relatives in another state or if you are flying across the ocean to vacation in another country. Moving is also a stressful event for most people. Now put the two together.
Goodbyes and How to Deal with Homesickness
Saying goodbye to family for this move was one of the hardest things that I’ve ever had to do. I gradually said goodbye to friends over the course of a month or so, but saying goodbye to my family all happened in a couple of days time. I had a special dinner with my nieces and nephew the Sunday before, a lunch with my dad and stepmom the Monday before, and I said goodbye to my mom, sister, and husband’s family after breakfast at the airport right before our flight.
