So... a few weeks ago, the husband came home and told me about a new work opportunity.

My initial reaction was to curl up in a ball and cry. But then again, my initial reaction to anything new is to curl up in a ball and cry. Heck, you could offer me sunshine and puppies, and I would still freak out, shriek "No! Change!" and run away.

My second reaction was a bit more positive.


And, three weeks later, we've finally got the details a bit more sorted.

So...

*takes deep breath*

From April 2014 to April 2015, we're going to be living in Michigan.

Wow!!

Snow is awesomely wonderfully exciting and fun...until the amusement wears off after a few days, and you find yourself as cold as you never thought you could possibly be, where it hurts to breathe and your face is numb and the wind cuts right through everything. You're wearing twenty layers outside, and stripping off for every superheated building you enter.
That said, stepping in squeaky snow is the best fun. And there's nothing wrong with hibernating indoors all the time! :-D

So will you be keeping house while he works, or maybe get something local if the opportunity presents itself?
And most importantly of all...will you put Elf into care, or will he go quarantine and join you there?

In any case, I would like a postcard once you're there, please. My collection of...three could do with some expanding.

A postcard you shall have!

I mostly had problems with riding a bike on snow. Which... less likely, this time – but I'm going to have to figure out how to drive on snow. Which scares me.

Elf will probably stay here, with my parents. And I'll probably still be editing for some Aussie people (and possibly for some US clients, if I'm allowed), but will spend the majority of my time being housewifely.
