On the move again

So much has happend since my last posting. Time flies.

Most important news is that Rob has been relocated and that we'll leave Dubai. In 2 weeks the container will come and our household goods will be shipped to Bangkok, Thailand. After 4 years South America and 4 years Middle East we're moving to Asia. We're all very excited and can't wait to explore the land of the Smiles. Although Mats is sad to leave is friends behind. He has a great social life here in Dubai and isn't keen on making new friends (again). That is the down side of the international life. For a teenager at his age expatlife is hard. But he is willing to give it a go. That's the spirit son!

Michou's is doing her IB exams at the moment and so stressful times for her (and me!) right now. She's studying very hard. June 2nd she will graduate AND ......she has decided to join us. She will go to an university in Bangkok (if accepted). I can't tell you how happy I 'm she decided to stay with us. For a couple of years my little family stays together :-}

Rob has found a house for us in a lovely compound, close to the international school that Mats' will be attending, so another thing we can cross off our 'to do' list.


And.....besides our two Siamese cats who move with us, we're adding a new member to our family. Once again a boxer dog will be in our lives. Still a puppy, now 4 weeks. In july she will be old enough to fly to Bangkok with us. Can't wait for that moment to arrive.

So the countdown has started. Only 5,5 weeks till we definitely leave Dubai. A lot of stress but we know the drill by now.
