When are we returning to the US for good?

Good question.

I wish I had a solid answer.  Right now the latest we will remain in Germany is March 30th, 2011.  Our plan is to return to the US over the Christmas holiday and maybe just stay put.  We will wait and see because there are number questions that need to be answered first.  :)

Trust me when I say we will be ready to return to the US and see our family and friends.  Now, we also know that we will probably spend a year in Milwaukee after we return.  Once that year has ended, who knows where we'll end up.  It will depend if and where I can find a job.  I am open to the idea of a national job search to find the right position at the right school.  I get excited thinking about going back to work with college students again and I always felt very lucky to enjoy going to work. Thankfully Chad is also supportive of this and hopefully he can figure out his job situation as well.

The comforting thing will be knowing that no matter what state we end up in, we'll be speaking English!

We'll keep you posted on any news.
