Who Knew I Wanted to Move to China?

The beginning of this great adventure actually started about 6 months ago when my husband found out his next job assignment would be in Shanghai, China.  While he had talked about the opportunity on different occasions, I didn't really think it would ever happen.  SO imagine my SHOCK when it did! Then the questions started: 


      Where would we live?         What would I do?      What clothes would we need?      How am I going to communicate?     Where would my children go to school?      What would we take with us?    What would we eat?   
    

(See children, all great thinking begins with questioning!)  :)

I realized all my questions were about my fears of the unknown.  When I stopped worrying about all the things I didn't know, I realized that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and my family.  So my dear children, this is my story about how dreams can come find you when you are least expecting!  Always keep your mind open and grab dreams when you can!
