If you read here regularly you've probably guessed that there is something going on behind the scenes. It must have been my completely unsubtle murmurings.
There is in fact something big going on. Something exciting. Something life changing. Something blog changing.
Recently Skip was offered a new job, a big promotion. This new opportunity also meant that we would have to relocate. We couldn't say no.
So in approximately four weeks we are packing up our little family and moving.
Where? To the MIDDLE EAST! And I don't mean Bondi Junction.
We're moving to Dubai.
I know. I can't quite believe it myself.
The next few weeks are going to be a flurry of packing, goodbyes and trying to adjust to the fact we are moving to the MIDDLE EAST. The freakin' middle east.
I have no idea what we are in for, but I know it's going to be one of the biggest adventures of my life.
Stayed tuned!

Hey Corinne! That's great news! I thought there was something in your recent blog post (remember the one where i left the rambling comment about how we're moving to Dili… yeah that one!)
ReplyDeleteWe can compare expat notes. Have you been for a look see? When I lived in Ukraine, I knew a few people who had lived in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It can be really great for families. Anyway, good luck with the move and I hope the next four weeks aren't too stressful. We'll be expat bloggers together! Congrats to you and hubby. What a great thing for your family xx
That IS huge - and fantastic.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
Exciting times ahead.
