Re-Entry

Well, I guess it is time to rejoin the blogging world.  As you can see it has been awhile  . . . well like a year since I posted.  I tried my hand at the teacher blog (see http://3rdgradetravelinteacher.blogspot.com/), but I had no time for that. 

This past year, from June 2012-July 2013, my husband and I moved back to the USA from Saudi Arabia.  It was a crazy year full of TONS of work, family illness, and stress, but thankfully we made it through that.  Now, we are just beginning a new chapter in our lives.  We are living in Malawi, Africa!

At the end of our school year in Saudi, we found a wonderful opportunity to work in Malawi with a school here.  We were really excited about going to Malawi, but then when we went home to the USA, a lot of things seemed to come up.  Thus, we made the choice to stay for a year in the states. At that time we thought it would be for one year, and then we thought it would be for many years. 

We worked for a year in Florida, and experienced a lot.  Yet, for us Florida had never really felt like home . . .  just an in-between stop.  So, at the end of our school year in Florida, we packed up our things and moved them to my parents in Kansas.

Yet, we were still unsure what would be coming this next year.  We were hoping to stay in Kansas with the great people we met, yet we had the feeling like that was not the final stop yet.  Thus, we emailed many companies, schools, and the like.  Yet, it was the school in Malawi that kept coming to mind.  We emailed last, knowing that if they wanted us we must go.  And sure enough, they had the space.  So, two weeks later, we found ourselves on a plane flying into Lilongwe, Malawi.

Thus, this blog will focus on the new things that we discover on our journey through the heart of Africa.  We will try to post about things that you might find interesting or unusual.  Hope that you enjoy.
