No one can say it like Neil...

So the decision ended up being made for us. Before we took the trip to Qatar, they decided that they didn't need anymore Jr. Associates there. I must admit that I am pretty relieved that we didn't have to make the decision. It was the risk averse side of us that thought we should maybe go to Doha for the job security, but we never felt quite right about it.

So we're coming to America!! We'll probably be moving in the next month or so. We're going to live in my parents basement until we figure out what is next for us. We're excited, sad, nervous and freaked out. The last few days have been quite a roller coaster, but we feel peace about it and are very excited to be closer to family and friends!!

I understand the tears that fall when leaving London. I think that it will be easier coming to family and friends then to a strange new country. I'm about to cry for you. Hang in there it will all work out in the end!!!

Marnae said...

All is well, all is well. I know that with all you and Ty have to offer this world there is something big and beautiful in store for you. Plus I am not going to pretend that the fact that I might get to see you soon is not super-duper muy fantastic. Weeha.

That is so exciting for you to be home! Sad that you have to leave London, though. You will miss it so much I am sure! There is nothing like living near family, though! Good luck with the move and everything!

Wow, What a crazy few weeks it sounds like...I am sorry to hear about the job loss, but I am sure with your incredible spirit for adventure you will find an even better fit soon. Just can't wait to see what culture shock you will have moving back stateside! It is crazy...but family will help!

I know it's sad for you, but yeah for me!! Now we're like next door neighbors!! Ok, so like backyard neighbors, but this is good news for those of us who want you back in the states.

Catherine said...
