Hello!

I have never been one to diary. I always wished I was one of those people, but I have become okay with the fact that I am not. Quite frankly, I have never had much going on in my life to even warrant a space to write! :) However, our life has changed so much since January that I thought this would be a central location for me to post updates where friends, family, and anyone else can catch up on the goings-on of our crazy & ever-changing life!
So, I don't know how much you know & how much you don't know so I will quickly explain the situation my husband Andre & I have found ourselves in. As many of you know, Andre has been traveling back in forth to China about 4-5 times per year since last year. Due to some changes at work, it has been even more frequently since the beginning of the year. I think he has been in China more in 2008 than in the US. After much consideration & thought, we pretty much offered ourselves up to his company and said we would move there for a short time (2-3 years) in the hopes of alleviating some of the stresses caused by frequent travel. Also, we thought it would be a great time in our lives (no kids, my flexible job, a desire to sell our house, etc.) to have an experience abroad. Anyway, his company jumped at this chance and we spent the next month or two in negotiations. Now, for the last week & a half, I am in China living the life and seeing if it is something that would even be feasible. I have loved being here & have had many new experiences. In an effort to chronicle my trip, I decided to start a blog which I can continue to update as we uproot our lives in the US and move overseas. China here we come!! :)
