And we're back!

We left the blogging world for awhile...our good friends had their blog attacked by a student and in all of the hullabaloo, I choose to disconnect.  But thanks to my cousin, always the faithful follower, I decided that I should start back up--for the kids' sake perhaps more so than yours :)  I want them to know as much about their birthplace as they can, since after all, they will always be part Ukrainian.
So the answer to the question you may now be asking is, "yes," it's official.  As of December 1 we signed our letter of intent with QSI stating that we would not be returning for the 2013-2014 school year.  As in typical Chapman fashion, of course we swing back and forth in questioning our decision.  Ken will be finished with his Administrative credentials this spring and I would like to begin my Masters in Library Science...We inquired about non-teaching jobs at KIS, since career wise, it may be good to get the experience under our belts, but after milling over it during break and then talking with our director, I feel closure in saying "paka" good-bye.
The month of December we were  I was pretty dead set on returning to the States.  I'd like to say home, but as we've been trying to instill in Rawly that home is where ever we are together as a family.  We've applied to a range of places both on American soil and abroad, who knows were we'll land.
