Change

It's funny how everything can change in a week. Sasha was hired to teach French at Sparks High School. It's only a year contract but he's starting up their French program that has laid dormant for 7 years. It's going to be a lot of work, fairly monotonous since he only has first year students. But it puts our future in question. If they offer him a position for next year will he be able to say no? Will he feel obligated to give them two, three, four years? Will he even like full-time teaching and all the stress and responsibility it represents? But the biggest question of all is what will this mean for our future? As of now we're still on schedule to move to Prague in the fall of 2012. Who knows what this year will bring or if that will change. I think for all our sanity's we're going to assume and plan for moving next fall and then if it gets pushed back by a year or two at least we'll be prepared. I feel that the longer we stay here the less likely it is that we'll move. Dacian starts kindergarten next year and how hard will it be to uproot him from that? I know people move all the time but this is only the second time I've moved since I was an adult and the first time the kids will go through that. Dacian's very sensitive, I can see him having a problem adjusting. But let's not dwell on the negative. Next fall we'll be in Prague!

  1. We've been dealing with maybe/maybe not scenarios this year, too - Xander wasn't sure if the math program would close, and if it had, we'd be moving to wherever he found a PhD program he liked. We will hopefully end up in the Pacific Northwest, but maybe not as soon as we'd like. In any case, now we're here for another year and a half or so, but then it's all up in the air again.

    Here's hoping for Prague! :)
