That means we have found a flat! To be fair we only took a day and half to find somewhere but it's 35c and that is pretty hot to spend long days traipsing around a city!
We sign the contract tomorrow and move in on Thursday when I will be able to pop some pictures up.
We both love it though which is the most important thing as it's our first flat together :)

Leaving on a jet plane...
My bags are packed and I'm off!
I have no idea when I'll be able to post next but keep your eyes peeled for updates when I can get to a computer.
Wish us luck!

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehn, Goodbye...
I knew that I'd find saying goodbye to my friends and family difficult. Given that I won't see most of them until Christmas, that's not a surprise but like so many things the reality is proving even more tricky.
My brother is cycling from London to Paris this weekend and he left this morning so he was the first family member I said bye to. Cue floods of tears. I know it's not that long until he'll come to visit in October, but it wasn't very fun regardless. And to be honest once you've cried that much at 7am, it leaves you feeling a bit funny for the rest of the day.
I've just spoken to my grandparents and that was difficult too. They're already far away (well, Glasgow) and to be honest moving won't really affect how often I see them but I won't have the same amount of contact with them. It probably doesn't surprise you they're not on Facebook and don't read blogs or even e-mail.
This all has me slightly worried about the goodbyes at the airport tomorrow, partly because I don't have any waterproof mascara and Rich will fairly inevitably have a streaky faced girlfriend in tow as he goes through security. But it's not all bad. I love my friends and family to bits and if it's hard to say goodbye then that just means I'll miss them. I'd rather this than not being fussed at all.
To anyone reading this who I've seen over this summer (to name a few- Dave, Sharon, Jenny and her boys, Josh, Tom, Lucy, Olly, Marianne, Laura, Amy, Sarah and so, so many more people-sorry if I've missed you out) I have loved catching up and sharing my excitement and I look forward to posting about our new life in Valencia which I'm sure will be fantastic.
Tonight will involve the last of my packing before I relax with my Mum tomorrow morning. And then it's on to the airport...

Reasons to be cheerful
Well after my slightly subdued start to this blog, it didn't take long before I had a grin on my face. As soon as I posted and told the world (well Twitter and Facebook) about this new blog I had followers! And you know what? I was just as excited to see those first few followers as I was when I first started blogging back in 2009.
I'm pleased to report that, although I'm still nervous too, I'm far more excited now. And there's lots to be excited about...
Living with Rich.
Finding an apartment and making it our own.
Learning Spanish.
Wandering through the Riverbed Park.
Getting to know my new class and colleagues.
Agua de Valencia (a mix of champagne, Cointreau, vodka and orange juice!)
Paella, tapas and sangria.
Trips to the beach.
Having our friends and family to stay and showing them round.
The Valencian fiesta, Fallas.
Sunshine!
There's definitely plenty to have on my face about. I think I'm most excited about the sunshine at the moment though... Just look at the weather forecast!
What would you be most excited about?
