My 1st Blog

Here it is!  I thought that with all of the changes and fun adventures Michael and I are about to embark upon that creating a blog would be a good way for our friends and family to stay updated without hords of emails cluttering up inboxes.  Also, I have to say that I got the idea from Catherine as well.  I have enjoyed staying up-to-date with everything that she and John are up to that it inspired me to create one for Michael and me.

So, what's new with us.  At the moment, we are beginning to get ready for our big move to the USA.  Michael received his Immigrant Visa back in March, so he is on his way to becoming a citizen with the blue passport of love, aka the American Passport.  We are moving in July to my parent's house to begin the job search which we hope won't be too awful and long.  Finger's crossed!  There have been some leads, but everyone wants to hire immediately which is not really going to happen. However, knowing that employers want to hire Michael is very encouraging :-)!  Our favorite cities to move too consist of Charlotte, Boston, and Chicago, but we are not limited to just those since we are well aware of what the economy is like.

So, quick story becuase no blog posting is complete without a mention of a certain golden retriever named Manga!  As one might have figured out by now, Michael and I do not live in the USA but in Egypt.  Since we are moving, one of the most common questions we get is if Manga will be traveling with us.  Now, Manga might actually have more priority than Michael only because she cannot talk, and let's face it, is pretty helpless.  My response is always of course she is moving! And in fact, she is easier to take than Michael!  Seriously, Manga will be traveling across the pond (she's done it before), and will be just fine.
