Last day

After days of waiting and counting the hours the day has finally come. D - DAY. I woke up this morning feeling an emotional wreck and I still feel ill, how I am going to get through this day without crying, I do not know. And I just don't understand? Why am I feeling like this, despite wanting it for so long? I can only answer my own question, that it is insecurity, leaving the known to concur more challenging things. The whole comfort zone, stepping out of it. I have been with the company for 5 and a half years where one of the years have been spent her, I think I have grown to attached to the company. I have always loved the work and I have met some great people and despite all the ups and the downs (believe me there have been a few mega downs) here in Budapest I am grateful for the opportunity that I was given and I am sure that I will look back with fond memories. I do think everyone should try living abroad for a bit it does open your eyes and it also gives you a sense of achievement. I have been living abroad now for more than 7 years, but I consider the UK as my second home. I will always be Norwegian and it will always be my home. However this was Gareth's first year out and I think he has come beyond far. He is more confident and he now knows what he wants out of life more in the long term goals. Jack will always be able to say I lived in Budapest a year and although he doesn't probably remember much, I remember when I was a kid we were always amazed with those that used to be ex-pat kids. He is only 3 but he is confident and he has experienced so much and I do think and believe it has formed his really funny attitude.

I certainly will miss the weather and I will miss the fact that it only took me 20 minutes to get to work and home. I will really miss the person that took over my position, as she is probably the nicest sweetest person I have ever met. I will miss my babysitter Beri and of course all my other friends I have made here, and I am sure that because of them I will come back one day.
