I forgot who sings the song but this song " Green light" is defiently the state of mind im in right now. I was kind of low key since I got the news. I haven't been talking, or reseaching about it or anything really. Now it's becoming real. I'm getting all worked up again. I'm up late on the computer researching, imagining, what it will be like. I know I have some obstacles ahead of me though.I'm nervous about how difficult it will be to teach. I prayed about being a good teacher this year so I will pray again that God give me the strength and patience to do just as well this year. The first one being authenticating all my documents. I'm not even sure how to go about it. I know I have to get them notarised first( instate out of state ? who knows) then I have to go to the secretary of state and get a certification (basically like an apostille)but at least I can walk that in. Then Im going to send it to pro-ex so they an send it to the UAE embassy in DC and then theres some other step. Whew! At least I got my passport today so I scan that! There is just so much more paperwork involved than when I was headed to Korea! My second biggest hurdle will be trying to save a minimum of 3,000 dollars without a job in July and still get everything I need before moving to a foreign country. Then Jason has to prepare his documents and enroll in classes before we leave, and we both want to lose a significant amount of weight! The to do list is crazy!
To top it all off I have to pack up this house and move in with my mom, sister, niece, dad, and hubby in a 2 bedroom house, but somehow I'm excited. I feel like I'm going to have more fun than ever this summer and Im am optomistic about this experience. Just a few short months agao I din't even know what I was going to do with my life. I was deeply depressed too. It feels good to feel adventure on the horizon. This is how things are supposed to be.

and 3 years later!
Ok so it's official. I got my contract! I still haven't recieved my passport or documents back yet though and havent mad the first move towards moving out, although we are supposed to be packed up and shipped out in the next two weeks!There is so much to do and not nearly enough time and I havent really been doing much since the interview. I know I'm going to be all panicky near August so i need to get a move on. I'm just so glad that I finally know what I'm doing with my life again.

To Be or Not To Be...





So, Im waiting 50/11 years to get my official contract from Abu dhabi. I went to Times square and had a great time. My interview was very relaxed and my interviewer said I got the job at the end of interviewer. No Screams yet though. Here it is over a week later and i have still not recieved a contract officially. I have started planning my life around this so i need to get it in the mail now. Until then... we wait.

Update

the update you've all been waiting for... Well actually there isnt much of an update. Much like the process of going back and forth before I left to Korea, I am once again all over the place. SO I yet again have another interview for Abu dhabi. I'm in a different place than I was last time and yes i really want to go to the Middle east. Im not even entertaining the idea of staying here another year. I am almost willing to go anywhere but stay here. I have the Abu Dhabi interview in about 9 days and I am really going this time, but I'm looking for plans A, B, C, and D just in case. I think korea is Plan D at this time and Qatar is a possible plan B. Anyhoo this week I've been on spring break and getting all my documents together though it seems i wont have anything done on time. i had to prepare my criminal background check, reference letters, i still need to scan documents,updated my resume, got my transcripts, and got my name changed on my passport. Well ill let you know the verdict in a few days. Im scared to get excited or research anything before then, even though the addiction has slightly began. I feel confident about this, but then again Im not the most qualified person and i could end up with my face broke. i hope this is the start of an adventure for us.

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.
