A New Journey

For the past 3 years, Central New Mexico Community College has been my home. For the most part, I've enjoyed it. I thought that I'd retire here, always live and work here, there was little doubt about that. Now, I'm not so sure. I have absolutely loved living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I had a really wonderful grad experience at University of New Mexico and its been great watching my girls grow up.

Now, a new journey has presented itself! I've always wanted to teach abroad. It was a dream that I gave up after the girls were born. Now, that I'm a single mom post divorce everything has changed. The girls are not babies and we are free to do as we please. After attending my first ever International Job Fair we are packing up our things and moving to Pakistan.

I know Pakistan is not for the faint of heart. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think that I'm doing something a little crazy. We are excited, we are nervous, we are thrilled. We have never lived or been anywhere non-touristy, so why not? Why not take a chance and do something adventerous? Why not, allow the girls to have a cultural experience that will make them richer in perspective and experience? Feel free to share in this experience with us! Any words of wisdom, words of caution, words of advice are welcome. Enjoy.
