Coming home!

Posted under health, moving, taiwan, teaching - Friday, February 15, 2008

Well.

What the heck happened to me?  I go and tell you we’ve got big news coming, then let Seth tell you all about it while I forget to blog for two days running.  Uh…that wasn’t my plan.

Anyway, as Seth said, we’re headed back home in the very near future.  Lots of things factored into the decision, but really, when it comes down to it, we aren’t happy here, and that was affecting our health and our general outlook.  Not cool!

Now that we’ve given notice, we’ve got one-and-a-half weeks of work left, and then 5 more days after that before we get on the plane.  It’s a little crazy, and I look around our apartment and wonder how the heck we’re going to get it all taken care of.  We’ll leave plenty of things here, of course - I’m not planning to lug home the toaster oven or anything. Still, it’s going to be whirlwind, but we’re excited.  Seth has a pretty firm job offer already, and I’m probably going to concentrate on renewing my teaching certification, looking for a teaching job for 08/09, and finishing up my languishing master’s degree. There’s going to be so much to take care of, from finding a car to getting real winter clothes, but I’m really, really looking forward to being home.

T minus 19 days and counting!

    Is Seth’s “pretty firm” job offer the one I made him after hearing the news? Hope springs eternal….
