If I'm blogging/tweeting/Facebook-ing FROM BOGOTA, COLOMBIA??
We're still a bit in a daze, but it appears that we will be moving to Colombia... and SOON! I have a trip already planned to head back west to see my family in August until early September (which I'm glad to have already booked because as it sits it's going to be such a crazy month that I'd easily have talked myself out of it if we didn't already have tickets). Because of the urgent nature of this post, Peter may have to leave before we even get back and we'll follow once we get back to Gatineau. I still don't know how it's all going to work out and my head is spinning thinking of everything we have to do to get ready to move (what to do with the house, the van, what to take and what to put in storage, etc, etc, ETC).
Hopefully we'll maintain our sanity through it all.
And hopefully you'll stick around for the ride!
Short answer: YES! :)

Sorry, I was typing my other comment on my Iphone and it was too hard to get it all out.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who comes from Bogota and he says it is a beautiful city. It has a wonderful temperate climate since it in the mountains, and it has a wonderful culture and great public transportation. I am sure you will love it there!
So awesome, Amy!!! I can't wait to follow your adventures!
ReplyDeleteWow - exciting news! My brother, who just got his Masters in International Affairs from Sciences Po in Paris, just told us he is moving to Bogota too.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well with all the necessary arrangements and I can't wait to keep reading. And just imagine all the new photography opportunities!
Oh my goodness, this is HUGE! You guys are so inspirational. I would have gone into a panic coma just at the very thought of moving to the next province over. You rock!
ReplyDeleteI know it will be crazy but I hope you will keep up with the blog -- I want to hear every detail of the planning and execution and life in Columbia. How long will you be there? Is this an indefinite posting, or just for a year or so?
We'll miss you so much...even though you've only been in Ottawa for a couple of years, I feel like you've been here forever!
HOLY CRAP! Now that is a huge bomb. HUGE! your brain must be ready to implode. Of course we will all follow you. I hope you will have the chance to keep us up to date on the getting ready part and blog like crazy when you are there. i wish i had the blog when i lived away and travelled. and you have to give us more details. is it for ever or just a few years? will you continue to home school? like, how fast are we talking about? are you selling the house, maybe we're interested...
ReplyDeletegood luck!
All I can think is that your photos are going to be beautiful! I can't wait to see them.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, wonderful, exciting, scary! I'm sure you are feeling all of these things, as I am for you. What a tremendous opportunity. I can't wait to read every detail!
ReplyDeleteI have friends there.... And I spent some time there a few years ago to attend a wedding. Drop me a line if you want to talk about it... It was quite an experience! (hello.hella.stella [at] gmail [dot] com).
