Hola!

I say that at home quite a bit, but people don't say that here in "jolly 'ol England" as AJ says. (Deborah's husband, my brother in-law). It's weird the whole "home" thing. I think I'll always refer to the OC or California as home, but now Oxford is home too. It's a bizarre and surreal to just move away from one life- and practically into a completely new one. I do miss the United States and my family. My family mostly. Although I do miss driving my car (now Deb's) and my cat (Ella) and of course all of the conveniences, accessibility, and variety of everything available in the US. (ie: food, restaurants, stores, radio stations, TV channels, movies etc.) Of course here in England there are quite a few things that they don't have much of in the states such as pubs, health care for everyone and some great reality TV shows. Not to mention... legalized same sex civil-partnerships.

It is an interesting experience, immigrating to another country. It definitely gives one a lot to think about. It makes you think a great deal about priorities and what is truly important to you. Always keep your eyes on the end goal.

Anyway.... just in a reflective state of mind tonight.
