A Blogging Newbie

This is my first official blog so forgive me if I seem rough around the edges. 

I have decided to do this blog because I have been traveling a lot over the last month and it looks like there will be more to come.  You see, my husband has been offered a job in Australia.  We have lived on the East coast of the United States for our 11 years of married life and both of our children were born on the East coast as well.  This will be quite a change for all of us but it is one we are looking forward to.  Of course we will miss our friends and family, but we are looking forward to all the adventures we will get to have.  What an opportunity for our children to experience a different culture (and I don't even have to learn a different language)!

We are not sure when the move to Australia will happen.  Unfortunately, we are waiting for our paperwork to be processed and it doesn't seem to be any faster there than in the US.  While we wait, we've decided to embark on another adventure of sorts. 

In October, we are planning on getting an RV and setting it up so that we can not only live in it, but so that my husband can still contact his new employer in Australia.  Then we are heading South for the winter.  Our plan is to start out in Florida (near Disney) so that we can take the kids to all the attractions there.  Then we will move West.  If the paperwork takes long enough, we hope to be able to see the Grand Canyon and maybe even Old Faithful. 

I just started homeschooling my 1st grader in preparation for all of our travels.  It has been quite an adventure in and of itself, but it is one I'm enjoying.  I hope I enjoy the rest of my upcoming adventures just as much.  I hope you will too.
