Well, it's official...

It is a beautiful Sunday morning here in London and I am sitting in my flat and packing things up for my trip to Princeton this upcoming weekend. Honestly, I've never been so excited to see the cornfields, Main Street and the Homestead festival of mighty, mighty Princeton, IL. Maybe I am growing up after all.

This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster. I have, officially, terminated my secondment with KPMG in London. I will be moving back to the US (Denver, more specifically) sometime between mid-November and mid-December. This experience has taught me a LOAD about myself. I do enjoy being in Europe. However, I do not love living here. I have not settled in well personally and this has really impacted my professional life. I am not doing what I do best and have really struggled to be successful. I have lost a lot of my personal and professional confidence and need to find both. Therefore, I am heading back to the mile high city! And, honestly, I CAN'T wait!

So, there is loads to do before I head back across the pond. I've got lots of sightseeing and traveling to figure out long before I begin to focus on what I need back home (place to live, car, etc.). So, the next several weekends will be a mad panic of traveling around Europe with the grand finale in South Africa come early December (a friend's wedding).

Thanks to all of you who've checked up on me via blog and sent well wishes and love. I will be in touch!

Love to all!
