Week 2 of Planning ✌🏼️

Hey lovelies! We are officially finished the Second Week of Planning or Week 2 of Planning - we've done a lot this week, some positive and negative! As we said at the beginning - we want to show you both sides of the move. 

Dropping Out // During this week we had two people drop out for two totally different reasons - Cerys and Beth. We all wish them the best with they're future! 

New People // We have two new people taking up the two girls spots - Gerogina and Chloe. We are glad to have them on the team and to have them on this amazing journey with us. 

Booklets // I have sent out 3 out of the 8 booklets that I've done! The people that have received them - said they are amazing and it's a good thing to have. I will be sending out the rest in the coming week. 

Getting To Know Each Other // This seems to be the hardest bit as people are afraid to talk and not everyone is on at the same time. I'm hoping that we'll figure something out sooner than later to be honest. 

House Hunting // We have already started to look at the housing market in Los Angeles - I swear it's all different with the prices and it's crazy. A smaller house can be more expensive than a bigger house with the same amount of bedrooms and all that kind of stuff. 

Solicitors // We've been in touch with a number of different solicitors and we'll be sorting out meeting them and starting out visa application as soon as possible. 

So that has been the second week of planning. This journey will be stressful and time consuming but it'll be 100% worth it. 

What would be your plan be when your moving?!
