The Instigator

Do you remember when I said Mary Jane told me about the Fulbright Teacher Exchange?  (I still don't know how to thank her enough for telling me about it!)  She knew about it because another art teacher in the area had participated and she had met her before.  So, the closer I got to this opportunity being a reality, I decided I would like to meet Clare, the reason that I knew about the Fulbright Teacher Exchange, the "instigator."  


Clare is from the UK, came here on the exchange and met the man she is now married to and so is living here now.  It was an absolute joy and pleasure to meet Clare and get her perspective. She was certainly someone that I knew understood what it meant to be going through these same emotions and all of the to-do lists!


She had wonderful tips and pointers, she was full of information about the UK schools, customs, food, and all sorts of useful things!  She told me about things to expect, what sorts of things to pack, how people might act, and what words I shouldn't say!


I was so very thankful to meet Clare and hear all of the wonderful advice that she had to pass along my way, but mostly I was glad to meet the instigator of my great adventure!

    Love the blog, it is added to my GoogleReader. I can't wait to hear how things are going. Also make sure you ask these men you go on dates with if they are willing to move to Alabama before things get too serious! I don't want you following too closely in Clare's footsteps:-).

Tis the season... to bake!

Even being thousands of miles from the food celebrations that will happen this week, I somehow got the "it's time to cook" bug this Thanksgiving week!  This past weekend I made about 4 recipes worth of sausage and cheese balls (which have been a huge hit here!) to put in the freezer for upcoming celebrations and to share with others.  I'm also baking some more cookies to share on Thanksgiving day, so I made the dough for that tonight to start the process.  And last, but certainly not least, I made my grandmother's sausage biscuits. They are nothing all too complicated, these pinwheel biscuits, but oh they are delicious.  I know they are tasty, but I also know that one of the main reasons I love them so much is because I always think of her when I make them.  I was only nine when she passed away, and so unfortunately many of the memories I have of her have faded.  I don't think the smell of those homemade biscuits wafting up the stairs is something I could...

Senegal

Senegal. My hope when I applied up for this program was that they would take me somewhere in the world that I would probably not choose to go on my own. When I opened my email that day in December, I realized my wish had been granted. I have the very slightest of connections to this west African country. Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to have a student in my classroom who had once lived on the streets of Dakar. It was complicated circumstances that brought him to my classroom, but I was forever grateful for the opportunity of getting to know this remarkable boy. Another small tie that I have to the country is that a former pastor went to serve in Senegal for several years. It is actually one of the very few countries in Africa that I feel confident in its location, especially as I play Worldle  every day. But aside from that, I am learning alongside the many of you, who have joined in my excitement about my adventure, while also questioning, “Now where exactly is that?” I k...

Good-byes

Life is full of hellos and good-byes, and so to begin this new adventure, we decide that a Hello/Goodbye party would be just perfect for Kelly and I.  It was a wonderful way for me to say farewell to so many friends and loved ones and a way for Kelly to meet many new faces. The party made me realize even more so, what a life-swap this is.  Kelly and I will depend upon each other's friends and family members to help us find our way and help us make a home away from home.  I realized even more-so how incredibly blessed I am not only to have so many friends and family supporting me along my journey, but supporting Kelly through her journey as well.  They have welcomed her with open arms, just as I expected them to, and I know they will look out for her throughout the year.  For that, and for so many other things, I am incredibly thankful. I am so excited about my trip, and eager for the journey to begin.  For months, this seemed so far away and now, I'm on...
