Living the vida loca!


So... its me again. here to tell you that now we are on an even new endeavor. We are not giving up on getting out of here. The newest news, is that now Jason will be flying to Vegas for a night, to go test for a job in Vegas. This time I am still going to my interview in New York for Abu Dhabi. As long as we get something. I hope were both not a fail.I want to move to Vegas. Its an option thats equally fun, warm, financially beneificial, and far away. On another note. Im kind of boring today because I cant really focus due to a hangover. Jason and I actually had a good time last night! Yay, finally! anyways Ima go

and the saga continues...

So... The Abu Dhabi people are going to reschedule me! Its back on. Im scheduled for the 21st. I am so happy!!! A second chance and now Jason is so willing. I feel like this is meant for us. I would hate to get all the way there, and then not get hired so I am keeping my options open. on another note, I am trying to exercise and lose weight but its, been difficult. I need to bring sexy back before August and I only have 5 months to do it! Ill keep you posted.

ATL, Abu Dhabi or bust....Bust I guess


So after Jason pouted and pouted about not wanting to go to abu dhabi, i passed up the interview, which in hindsight is now a great regret. That offer was just too good to pass up. So what about the ATL position ask? we didnt get that either. I say we because whatever life choice one of us makes its going to affect both of our lives. So newest possible adventure.... I want to move back to South Korea. I know it already, I loved it there, and I've already applied to the ybm ECC site and they said lets get the ball rolling. Also jasoon wouldn't be bored there because he could go to school full time at a US school on the military base, or he could join the reserves, and find a full time job on base, but he doesnt want to join the military. I want him to so that i can get preferential treatment in the DODDs system and so we can have more money, because that seems to be the only hurdle we will face. I mean if he can get enough financial aid to cover us for a while that would be great, but until then I have to figure something out. hmmmm... Ill keep you updated.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...


So... here I am, sitting yet another school day at home due to the obsessive amount of snow we have been getting. So far we have had 6 snow days and tomorrow is almost a guaranteed 7th!! I hope I am somewhere downsouth next year or overseas, or just anywhere but here. Oh yeah I dont think I told you, Jason has an interview the day after me for the Atlanta Police Department. I'm kind of excited that it is a stateside option where i have already established friends but, I dont love that I've been there done that. If I get a teaching job though, we can do a great deal of traveling while living in an entertaining city in the mean time. I think I can deal with that. Then we don't have to try and resettle when we return.

Yabbu dhabi du Update!


So I havent been bloggin about the Abu Dhabi adventure because I was seriously in limbo. Jason isn't all gun ho to go, nut he's willing to go just b/c I am really pushing this dream. He's afraid of change and doesn't want to leave his job with the state to become a state at home husband/student, which is completely understandable. He's a man's man and that is one of the things I love about him, but I wish he'd completely see things my way for a bit. One of those things that know one really stresses about marriage is that your sharing your life and there are a ton of great benefits that come with that, most of which motivate one to get married, but then there is the dark side of actually sharing your life. There are the times when all you want to do is what you want to do or you simply want to shout, " It's mine, mine, mine!", but all in all the good still outweighs the bad.
Anyways, I logged on to keep you updated with abu Dhabi. I have an In person Interview on February 8 in Time's Square New York. I think I am a good candidate but, I'm afraid that there are so many people with years of experience that they may outshine me. I mean I have taught overseas before, I am teaching kindergarten this year, I am certified, and have a teaching degree in Early Childhood Education, but I don't know if it's enough. I really want this bad! I'm praying every day, but I'm so afraid to get my hopes up. I've been researching, and talking to people. I probably wont post until next month, but lets keep our fingers crossed!

Abu dhabi or bust


Sooo....I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Jason and I are trying to escape to Abu Dhabi for an exciting adventure in the future of 2011. I need this in my life. I applied to Teach Away a couple of months ago, had my phone interview, and am now trying to prepare my documents for the in person interview in February in Times square New York! The interview location sounds like more excitement than I've had all year. Im steadily praying about it because now that Jason is ready, Im ready,this could be the dream ive been waiting for! If I get the job we would move in August. They would pay for me and jason's flight. i would make 3500 a month tax free with paid rent, and every year we decide to stay they would give me a month's worht of bonus pay and fly us anywhere in the world with a paid ticket! We could live an entirely different lifestyle! Dinners on the weekends, camel treks, sand boarding, skiing in the shopping mall, and all the other stuff I simply loved about being abroad. I have a few hurdles to jump, but I pray that I will be writing you with the details of our flight next! wish me luck.ciao

goodbye 2010


What happened to all the wonderful posts that I'm supposed to be writing about life in Massachusetts? They don't exist! Not 1 exciting thing has happened in 2010. I know 2011 will be different. Two good things that happened are we had our first Christmas together and surprisingly, everyone bought me the gifts I needed/wanted. Secondly, we brought in the New Year happy, together and with 4 other children who are not ours, but it was great! I loved it. I should do it more often. for the rest of the exciting events, on New Years day I got a stomach flu that made e miss the first day of the school year. Terrible!!! I threw up nonstop for 12 hours, had a headache for another 12, body aches for another 12, and i couldnt eat the entire time. luckily hubby sweety pie stayed home with me because I was finished! and now to sum up the rest of 2010 after I returned home, um...I went to work, Jason went to work, paid bills, more bills, bills, stayed home, work, and that about sums it up. I have no friends really that I keep in touch with on a regular basis, and am still dying for an adventure.
