One year today
It was exactly a year ago today when I boarded a British Airways jet from Heathrow to Phoenix and then promptly passed out from a combination of too much Baileys and panic attacks. I got on the plane a nervous wreck and stepped off a person full of excitement and anticipation. Much has happened in the passing year, a lot of it scary, some of it terrifying and much of it exhilarating, but my summation at the end of it is that I am so glad I came. I see myself and my life very differently now. I'm stronger, more able and less scared than I used to be, and I honestly don't think I could live in the confines of England again. It feels too small now, and I really feel that here in America you can do anything! Best of all, of course, is that I'm with the person I wanted to be, and life is sweet.
It seems quite fitting too, that today I received a call letting me know that I most likely have a fantastic job offer at a top University hospital here in Connecticut. Not bad for a headbanger.

Thanks guys. Yep, time sure flies when you're having fun! It really doesn't feel like a year at all. Nothing like risking everything to find out what you're made of!

Re: One year today
Congratulations Rockgurl. Like Bob, its been almost a year since we've been back as well. Although I've found it hard to come back to the States, I suppose I'm glad I'm back. I'm so very glad you've found a better job. I know it must have been disheartening for you in Phoenix. At least your posts reflected that sentiment. The very best of luck in your future endeavours.

Now we all know what you're made of, and it's more than tattoo ink!
Does that mean only 4 years to go until you apply for citizenship? Just IMAGINE what you can do then!
