The weekend is here..thank goodness.

Good news guys,

My visa application to stay and work in the UK for two more years has been approved!

I'll explain why this is exciting, and so dang relieving in a post next week..

because a lot of you asked about how i live here, what i do here, and if/when i am going to be going back to the USA.

Questions that I get asked at least once a day by someone in my real life, or through this blog..

So check back next week for that ish..

(like you werent going to come back anyway..puhlease..)

right..?

Here are some of your new best friends..

If you are lucky.

o.m.g Debbie.

Like, words cant even describe how freaking funny and amazing this girl is..

I found her blog so randomly on twitter when i saw this post about how to sponsor a blog

(a must read btw)

and I was all, this girl knows whats up..

and then i proceeded to laugh out loud at her posts.

If you like it over here..

you will love it over there.

Just read her blurp and you'll see why..

"Hola! Coma estas? I apologize. This is a fictional start as I know little to no Spanish. But I live extremely close to the border of a country I've never visited so my knowledge on the subject is debatable. More on point, my name is Debbie and I live in Arizona with my new roommate, Taylor! Yes, I can't bring myself to say the word "husband." Maybe, "roommate with tax benefits?" No, that just made it worse. Discussions on young married life, winged eyeliner, decor for tiny rooms and our cats' milestones are all ongoing. Come on over! And may you never leave."

Stephanie is pretty, smart (read: law school graduate) AND is bomb at photography..

You know, the type of girl we all love to hate,

but have to love because she is so dang inspiring and sweet..

"Wassup Meg Lovers!!  I'm Stephanie and you can find me at my blog, Big Mario Life.  During law school, I realized that balance is essential to a happy life.  That's when I developed my Big Mario theory (which you can read more about on my About Big Mario Life page) and started this little bloggity-blog to document my journey towards a more balanced life.  You'll find posts about food, fashion, photography, traveling, The Boyfriend, and, of course, my guinea pig daughter Molly.  She has the cutest guinea pig bum on the planet.  That's a fact.  I also just recently left my law firm job to start my own photography business so you may see a few posts about that too. :)  Come on over and say hello!  I'd love to meet you!"

She has such a wonderful, happy, joyful outlook on life..

And i might be partial to her because she lives in southern california..

what?

I can't help it.

"What will you find on my Ocean Dreams blog? You'll learn more about me and why I love living in sunny California. You will also find posts about inspiration and my thoughts on life, posts on fashion, a consistent post that I like to call Little Joys From the Week, and posts on my recent outfits. I also love to travel so you will find many posts related to travel and my adventures. This is basically a blog where ocean dreams, inspiration, and fashion collide."
