it has officially been a month since I've packed my bags and left for England! It's crazy how fast this month has passed. One month has exposed me to many differences between England and the United States. The obvious difference of driving on the other side of the road. I'm able to walk everywhere (or grab a bus). Walking & biking are huge here. Manchester has lots of people, things to do, people walking to work, class, city center, etc. I have never walked so many consecutive days before. Another difference has to be the style here. Everybody dresses a little more "edgier" here. People are not afraid to mix and match different styles, patterns and colors. The best part is that nobody cares! I had never heard that the British come across "cold" upon first impression; but now I can understand why people think that. When in a large crowd it is easy to "spot the American" because they will probably be the loudest in the group. When meeting new people I think sometimes I scare them because I am more outgoing. Nonetheless, they are still very nice people, it just takes a little longer for them to warm up to you. Then there's the weather. I had been alerted before leaving for England to get ready for the rainy, gloomy & cloudy weather. I love sunshine, the beach & a bright blue sky-so this has definitely been a transition. Lately the weather has been super nice. I appreciate when the sun does shine. I am looking forward to all the new and exciting adventures in these next 4 months! Abby -
Hey, friends! Still traveling this week and can't wait to share more about Charleston when I get home. It's been a very fun weekend at Haven and I'll share more about that later. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to show some of the progress we've made in the house during the last year that we've lived here. Upgrading this builder's grade house that we bought has been a fun process and we are so happy with where we are now. We technically didn't move in until the end of August and spent the first couple of months after buying the house getting things done, like painting and floors. It's been so nice to be in here and really make some progress. At first it seemed like it was taking awhile, but really it's flown by and we've gotten so much done in the last year! I really want to showcase what you can do in a builder's grade house to update it and add value along the way by just adding paint, molding/millwork and changing out fixtures and updating bathrooms and kitchens. A lot of what we've accomplished has been done with paint and molding, so I hope you're inspired by our progress.
