Welcome, family and friends! If you are reading this, I have to pat myself on the back, because it means I've actually succeeded in publishing my first-ever blog post. I've wanted to start blogging for awhile, but have hesitated because I've wondered whether or not anyone would really want to read my blog. Since our family is about to embark on a huge new adventure (which some of you may be interested in reading about :) ), I thought maybe it was time to give this a try.
So, on to our huge new adventure...on August 2nd, our family will be moving from Sioux Falls, SD, where we've made our home for the past six years, to Stavanger, Norway! We have accepted teaching positions at the International School of Stavanger, and while leaving Sioux Falls will be difficult, we are absolutely thrilled by the opportunity to teach and live in Norway. As many of you know, Ryan and I lived and taught in Singapore the first four years of our marriage, and one of my few regrets about our time in Asia was my failure to truly document our experience. I'm hoping that won't be the case for our Scandinavian adventure!
I hope to be able to post often about the excitement and challenges that lie ahead for our family. Thanks for reading!
Congrats Walkers! I'm looking forward to living vicariously through you as I begin my teaching career in the Twin Cities. I realized that I got more readership when I linked my blog to my Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteHappy time to the Walker family :)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you're wandering off to Norway...someday, I'll get my traveling in (but just travel; I'm not sure I want to live somewhere...unless it's in the UK but that's another story).
I know there are a couple of Luther grads in Norway, too, which will always be nice :)
