Our next two years

As many of you know, our contracts with the college expire at the end of August. We have been spending a lot of time recently thinking about the next couple of years and whether we would stay here, move back to Texas or move somewhere else. In light of the on going economic issues in the US and the likelihood of our finding jobs in similar pay brackets and after much discussion and thought about our future, we have decided to seek a renewal of our contracts with the college for an additional two years (through August of 2011). There is obviously no guarantee the board will extend our contracts (though we are reasonably confidant they will) or that our work permits will be extended by immigration (though again we are fairly sure it wont be an issue). Staying an extra two years will mean that when we start trying to have kids that will happen down here (more on that in later posts). It also means not seeing family as often as we would like though we will try to get back to the States for holidays and our doors are always open for visitors. Speaking of which, we are looking forward to all the visitors we will be having this month and will post pictures and updates.
