It's Official

Dustin and I have always talked about having to relocate becuase of his job.  We knew that working internationally would be excellent experience for his career.  However, for us, the idea of him working 28 days out of the country and home for 28 days, was not an option.  For ME, living in a country that I did not know the language or wish to try the food, was NOT an option.  Our choices were limited....we had always thrown Australia out there as an option, but never did it cross my mind that it might actually happen.  Until May 2011...

I can remember the day very clearly....it was the end of the school year, Dustin was out of town and I was in class.  He sent me a text saying "Call me now"....well clearly I thought something bad had happened. (We all know how dramatic I can be!)  So I called him in between classes only to be asked if I wanted to move to Australia.  Uh sure why not???  Only this time he was not kidding. 

So the discussion began.  We said yes we are interested and would be willing to go.  And then we WAITED....and WAITED...and WAITED.  We waited so long, we thought that it was not going to happen.  And then....

Once again a day I will not forget, July 25th.  An hour before Dustin and I were leaving for the hospital for my major surgery, he gets an "unofficial" phone call.....he was selected for the job!

So here we are a month later, and we are moving to Australia in January.  I must say that we are excited, scared, and a bit overwhelmed.  I decided to start writing a blog, as a way to share with our friends and family all of our stories, good and bad ;)  We have been blessed with this amazing journey, and I hope that you all enjoy sharing along with us!
