Our Summer Abroad!!

My employer has given me a great opportunity to spend 6 months of 2019 working in the UK. I spend a lot of time in the UK for work already, and for my role on the project I'm in the middle of, there are a lot of advantages to being there full time for a spell. I've managed to work things out so that I will be there mid-April-May on my own, then from June-August my family will join me, and then I'll close the 6 months out on my own again through mid-October. So work gets the benefit of me being able to be more productive on the ground with the project team in the London office, and our family gets the benefit of living in London, baby! It's a big-time win-win.

We will be experiencing so much in a short time, I decided to create a blog to serve as our diary and travelogue as something more cohesive and permanent than the usual social media posts (which will be coming fast and furious as well!)

I leave in less than 5 days now and trying to figure out how to get ready to be separated from my family for 6 weeks. Carly is similarly trying to figure out how to manage a household with 3 active kiddos without the support and additional driver that comes in the form of her husband. (This arrangement will have some amazing benefits but not without its challenges!) Thankfully we have some great family, friends, neighbors, and a truly awesome community around us that has already offered a ton of support.

Here's to a summer of adventure just around the corner...
