Well, we did it. We finally made the decision to move to China. Yep. Now the fun truly begins...and I mean "fun" in a completely broad and liberal, not to mention obtuse and somewhat cryptic kind of way. Here we go...
I decided to create a blog site for a few different reasons. First (and not in any particular order), in the beginning of this process when we were approached with the idea of relocating to China, Allen and I started researching like crazy, through the internet. I mean everything. What I had found MOST helpful were the bloggers online who had already made the move to different parts of China who could explain what life was really like for an expat. I especially found one blogger particularly helpful because she wrote from a mom and wife's point of view...anything from her emotional journey to prices at the grocery store to navigating the local markets, to traveling, etc. So, if I can be just as helpful in my own perception of this adventure to other moms and wives, then GREAT! Secondly, my friends and family didn't really expect this kind of news from us. I really want to try my best to "stay in touch" as much as possible from half a world away and I'm hoping my thoughts, emotions and descriptions of our [temporary] move to China will help keep those lines of communication and ultimately the strength of our bond(s) in tact. Third, I love to write and I love to talk. The combination of "talking" while writing has an irresistable pull for me. What can I say? Lastly, I want a written record of our adventure for our kids to look back on when they are older. So, there you have it! :)
Ok, I think that about covers the title of this blog. Until next time...
