Let's play a guessing game...

Lot’s of exciting stuff going on in our house…we’ve been doing some spring cleaning – yes I know it’s fall…we’ve been de-cluttering and may I add it feels like loads of off our shoulder. I’ve started a “for sale”, donate and a storage pile. So are you guys starting to see a pattern here and are now wondering why?

Sean was starting to long for “project type” employment similar to what he did several years ago which required extensive travel. Only this time according to DH, it needed to be a project where Kylie and I could be right along side with him. So, he started inquiring about it. Although I was very supportive, my first thought was as long as it doesn’t involve us moving to another state because I’m not interested. Then it happened, an opportunity became available and now Sean and I had to ponder over what it meant for our family. What if it meant moving not just to another state, but somewhere completely different and totally out of the ordinary? What if not only would DH have an opportunity to be a part of a big and exciting project but I could be a part of it as well? We’d be able to visit a part of the world that we normally would not have gone to on our own. We could possibly vacation to places that we normally wouldn’t if we just stayed here settled and content in our comfort zone. We would have the opportunity to learn about different cultures and expose Kylie to adventures we could only dream were possible?

Well, the thoughts and dreams are becoming a reality. We have both received job offers and we are taking the weekend to seriously consider it. Heck, we are MOVING!!! So, anybody want to guess where we are heading to for the next 3 years or so??? I thought it would be interesting to hear what some of your guesses may be. If you already know feel free to participate by typing in just the first initial. I will post again next week with an update. I’ll give you a hint, it will be out of the country - lol! Did I already allude to that? We will be gone within a month. In the meantime, please excuse me while I go back to breathing in my brown paper bag:-)

I heard the news. All I can say is jealous jealous jealous. Having done that few times and I guess still the case, I can honestly promise you it will be a lifetime experience you will enjoy and appreciate for the rest of your life. S is a very beautiful country. Clean and SAFE. Actually offical language is Chinese so Kylie will come back be able to speak Chinese. You will be able to travel all over the area. I am so jealous. Go for it. You wouldn't regard it. The economic environment we have here in the States, this is the BEST thing that could happen. Have a great time and blog blog blog so we can share your experience.

How exciting! New adventures. Scary but like you said you'll get to do stuff that you'll never get the opportunity to do. I just hope is not cold.

Sean is definitely tricky...but if he left the country out...then it is Singapore. This is far!

I can't believe you are leaving. Just when we were getting to know you:( Sounds like you guys are excited though, so I am truly happy for you. So, will you be back here in 3 years? So guessing by the S in it I am going to guess Singapore. Is it? Wow, how amazing for you guys!! Wherever it may be!
