From Tucson to Cambridge

Two years ago, I began what would become a life-changing journey from Tucson, Arizona, United States to Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom. I had no idea in those early days (when I actually kept up my blog) that I would soon not only coming back to visit my fiance (yep, Liam, my English boyfriend, and I are now engaged!), but I would be coming back to stay.

It has been a good chunk of time since A Desert Rose Abroad was updated. From the above, I'm sure you can see that quite a lot has happened. When I returned to America after a pretty epic month-long tour of Europe, there was no question that I wanted to go back to England for good. I had not only fallen in love with the country, but also with one of its countrymen, and the UK had so much to offer me. I would need pages and pages to bring this blog up to speed, but suffice to say I have now come back to England and I am pleased as punch to be here.

After a lot of discussion with both Liam and my dear Mum, I made the decision to go back to school here in the UK. I am now a Master's (Post-Graduate, in English terms) student at Anglia Ruskin. ARU is unfortunately not in Norwich, or even Norfolk, but don't get me wrong, I am not going to have a cry about it. Instead, I'm getting an opportunity to live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world: Cambridge. And luckily, Cambridge happens to be only a scant hour's train ride away from Norwich, so weekends are available for Liam and me to travel back and forth to see one another (it sure beats being 5,331 miles apart!).

So... here I am! I have been here for the past three weeks, settling back in and getting acquainted with my new city and re-acquainted with Norwich. I'm afraid I won't have any photos yet to share as I have lost my camera battery charger, but as soon as I have one, you betcha' there will be an epic photo post!
