So there have been rumors, plans, talking, offers, counteroffers, more talking and as of this week my plan to move to london is now off the table. It was very sad that it didn't work out but economically it wasn't going to be feasible. I am disappointed. But I guess it wasn't meant to be. I am I guess OK with it now.

So what am I going to do instead? Jason bought a house and is moving out of our place of 8 years the end of this month. I will be staying put until the end of December because I am still in flux.

2008 plan so far - January and February 2008. I am taking a sabbatical and going to Cambodia to work at an orphanage with a group called United Planet. I will probably be there for 4 weeks and then travel around Asia for another 2 weeks. Then go visit the fam in San Diego for 2 weeks. That is all I have planned for the moment. Don't know where I am going to end up after that time. I am still deciding.

what they are missing. that said, there are some seriously lucky kids out there who get to benefit! I'm sorry you're not going across the pond, but, for crying out loud, it sounds like you are getting the opportunity to do some AMAZING things. i'm super jealous. i think you will come back after a month abroad knowing exactly (or, well, something close to) what you want to do, and i bet london won't be a part of it....

well,

it makes for a pretty clever subject line. :)

i'm sorry things didn't work out. i wouldn't say i'm a big believer in fate, but i don't disbelieve it in either. i think you have to look at this as maybe it just wasn't meant to happen. i think it is a great idea to take some time off work and leave DC for awhile. i only wish you could start it in Nov instead of Jan. Regardless, Fleishman-Hillard-London is missing out.
