What would you do if your children asked to move to England, so they could go to school there and wear those 'cute uniforms'? Would you do it?
Well, we did. Or, rather, we are in the process of doing it.
And believe you me, it is quite a process!!
Right now, we are counting down the days - 14 to go.
My hubby is a high school teacher and, after the cute-uniform yearners
suggested the move, he looked into getting a year's leave. When it was okayed, we decided,
"Why not?"
I will not bore you with all the tedious details
-middle-of-the-night job interviews via phone
-multiple contract problems with said job
-passports not arriving after 16 weeks
-renting a flat, sight unseen, over the internet
-wired money for said flat, disappearing into the ether
-being told children and I don't need visas and then finding out at last minute, we DO
...Whoops. Guess I just bored you with the tedious details;)
Now I am off to pack.
But before I go, I must put in a disclaimer on behalf of my sons - the GIRLS were
the ones who wanted the cute uniforms, not them. They just want to go and learn to
play Rugby.

One question -- Are you and Jerry going to begin to speak like Madonna a few weeks after arriving?
Best to you and your kids on this amazing journey!
