It's official

David has officially accepted a position at the IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) starting in June. This leaves us in the following (happy) conundrum: 4 months, 2 dissertations, 2 dogs and an apartment full of crap (some useful, some not - the apartment crap, that is). To mark this occasion, I decided to keep account of the build up to our new status as "expats." Assuming that this web-logging habit sticks, I plan to also log our time in Germany.

This is primarily intended for friends and family; however, I'll try to also make it useful for people moving overseas (particularly those with Canis lupus familiaris in tow) and, once we arrive, for people curious about German culture. I am planning to learn German, so I'll throw that in as well - for good measure.

Well, here we go. I'll try to update regularly and maybe you will read it, maybe you won't. Either way, it should be an interesting experience for David, Molly, Stella and I.

I have added you onto my daily blogs reading. Also I would appreciate hearing from Molly on her tales of this adventure.

Congratulations on the job in Germany! That is exciting. I didn't realize it would start so soon. I'm sure you're looking forward to it.
I'll stay up to date reading your blog. Once you get settled there, maybe hobby jeff and i should schedule a visit??
