| James is born, January 2011 |
After meeting in Washington, DC where we both
had our first jobs after undergraduate school, my husband and I were getting
paperwork in order to Teach English as a Foreign Language in China. Before
meeting, we’d both had experiences abroad. My husband had studied in Australia.
I had studied in Germany, Namibia, Mexico and China. We were eager to live in
China long enough to learn language and acclimate somewhat. My semester-long
experienced had proved far too short. We were preparing for at least two or
three years in China.
We ended up in Delaware, instead. My husband completed a Ph.D. in renewable energy technologies (solar) and I worked at the University and earned a Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. We thought we were set to live and work anywhere. Our next move brought us to upstate New York for a 2 year position that ends early this winter. Somehow our moves never turn out to be as exotic as our dreams.
Our son was born in January 2011. We are expecting a little girl this summer, July 2012. With my husband’s contract ending, we will be moving with two babies under 2-years old this winter. It’s just that at this point, we have no idea where in the world we will all be moving.
