Living that Lux Life

I AM MOVING TO LUXEMBOURG.
Yep. It's ACTUALLY happening. I have a job over there, a flat, a partner, a kitten... I'm emigrating in August.
How on earth did that happen?!

It's storytime. The last time you heard from me I had just moved in with said partner into his lovely house in Leeds with his (now our) wonderful kitten, Cleo. I was also 18 stone and very unfit, but that's not related to Luxembourg really, but still a cool part of the last 12 months.
ANYWAY, my lovely other half was offered a job in Luxembourg, an incredible opportunity for him, and after a hissy fit (from me, shock) we decided to do long distance and see what life was like there and how I felt about moving in a year. We had a wonderful summer together and he left at the end of September. I was looking for work but wasn't set on moving until January this year, when I decided to move regardless of my job situation. Being in a permanent role right now and having never been unemployed for more than a few months since leaving uni, never mind since 15, really, it was a terrifying prospect that my heart truthfully wasn't set on.
I had my eye and heart set on one school that is the perfect school for me and checked their site daily for a job to come up, until finally one did, and I got an interview! I thought I'd failed the formal interview and looked at other options, resigning myself to the fact that I'd blown my chances - BUT I GOT IT!!!! And have already set up a sewing club!
So, after turning 30 a month ago, I am proud and excited to say that my first major act of my thirties is ONLY FLIPPING EMIGRATION. Toodleloo Brexit, Moein Luxembourg!
I also lost 3 stone on Slimming World and signed up for a 10k.

WINNING. AT. LIFE.
