Today, we start changing our lives

Okay, so today we start changing our lives, but it was actually Thursday when I got the good news.

Back on Jan 31st, Kris and I flew out to Calgary so I could attend a seminar and interview with Interac, a highly recommended company that searches for native English speakers from around the world, or at least the English speaking part of the world, and sets them up with jobs in elementary schools and Jr. High Schools as Assistant English Teachers.

During this seminar/interview, I was told that it would be three weeks until I found out if I got a position with the company. You can imagine my surprise when I found out, barely two weeks later, that I had got it!

I decided to start in the fall so that I have more time to hang out with family and friends, raise some money, and not feel so rushed. There's a lot of work to do, but I know we can do it!

As for this blog, it'll just be a fun way to keep family and friends up to date with our new adventures in this brave new world that we'll be exploring.
