The How

It started with a look into the world of international teaching jobs. But seeing as teaching is the last profession I wish to enter, we continued to click our way through the maze that google offered. We cam across this website:

We considered Bed and Breakfast managers, but put that into our queue for retirement. Next we considered "Domestic Couple Jobs," but found that these were really modern day volunteer slave positions.

When we found a category called House Parent, we felt the fit almost immediately. That very night we sent out inquiry emails to a handful of locations. One particular location (which for the protection of the children who live there we will leave unidentified) responded to us very quickly.

The process from first email, through two interviews and us accepting a position took exactly one month, and exactly a month after accepting the position, we will be on the road traveling 3023 miles!

We are packing up our belongings now. We took half of them to store at his parents house in Spokane. Of what is left, we will get rid of all the furniture, and pack up everything else. We will pull out of our first apartment with what will fit in our new Subaru and a 5 x 7 trailer.

My Guy

See this Guy? My Guy. That is what I like to call him. This is the man I have chosen to spend my life with. The one who draws passion out of me and makes me laugh and helps me learn about birds. This is the man who savors amazing food and has taught me to appreciate a great cup of coffee. This is the man who drives in the snow when I am too scared too, who watches "my" movies and genuinely likes them. He introduced me to zombies and indie music and tartar sauce (which I still don't understand...) 

This is the guy I am moving 3023 miles with.
