Well there's no going back now, both Becky and myself have had our replacements appointed. It's brought to us a clear realisation that we are out of here!
I think I've found this harder as I'm more established in my school than Becky. We have both enjoyed strong departments and a good group of friends which we will miss.
We've also realised we're going to be missing at least 3 weddings while we're away, probably more, my Mum's 60th birthday and of course Norwich City's assault on the Championship title next year and their successful qualification for the Champions League the season after. We're definitely disappointed about this (not the football, the other things), but also recognise that this is all part of the sacrifice you have to make to have this amazing opportunity.
We've also been reassured that we're making the right move in the past few weeks. Everything is slotting into place relatively smoothly. Whenever we seem to hit a problem or a snag the solution is quickly apparent.
We are still looking to rent our house. We have some interested parties, but nothing certain yet, so if you do know anybody that is looking to rent a very nice, fully furnished 2 bedroom house in South Liverpool then get in touch!
We're going down to IMC in Birmingham in a few weeks. This is where we'll be living in September. It's a chance to look round and get a feel for what life for 3 months might be like. Hopefully we'll also meet some of the other mid-term people we'll be training with at the same time.

A brand new start
Hey, it's here, the one you've all been waiting for!
We've decided to set up a blog to keep people uptodate with us as we prepare, train and go with BMS to Nepal.
I guess theres not much to say at the minute, if you're reading this you'll already be aware of our impending move. Just to go over the details for you:
In July we'll both finish at our schools in Merseyside. In September we'll move to Birmingham to train at the International Mission Centre in Selly Oak. Then after 3 months of being students again we'll fly to Nepal in early January 2008!
We'll be teaching at a school called Kathmandu International Study Centre, or KISC for short. Check out the website www.kisc.edu.np .
We'll try and use this site to keep you up to date with what's going on with us and hopefully include some photos so you get and an idea of what our lives our like in Nepal.
We hope you enjoy reading this blog.
