"Mom, I want to study overseas next year but I don't want to go by myself." These are the words that started our Fulbright adventure last February. After going to a high school meeting about studying abroad, my daughter was intrigued but not quite ready to leave her own nest. So we decided to try and figure out how to move the nest instead. And a Fulbright teaching exchange provided the answer.
This blog will chronicle our adventures living in the UK for the next year. For as long as I can remember my children and I have shared "good news" at the kitchen table every night. Following this tradition, my posts will be the good news for the week, the top highlights of our journey. As my son Andrew likes to point out, "Mom, that's not really a journal." Andrew is a very good writer, but what I know from living a little longer is that I can remember bad news all on my own.....I don't need to record it. And, as my other son Ian notes, "The rules have always been 'if you share a bad news then you have to say two good things'" That sounds like too much writing to me!
