....to Dubai!
Yep, that's right. We are jumping continents once again!
Its always bittersweet leaving one city/country for another. I absolutely love London but living here with a young family has been difficult. After we had Reina, it really caused us to pause and re-evaluate our living situation. London is an amazing city with so much to offer but for the phase of life we are in for the foreseeable future, its just not practical.
In Dubai we can drive, which is so much more important now that we have THREE children to haul around. Plus I will be able to have full time help, which is AWESOME. I don't know how we've survived on our own for this long. I mean, it definitely gives me a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that we are doing this ourselves, but it definitely takes a toll when you don't get a break.
The great thing about this move is we are moving back to a place that we are already very familiar with so there will be no "settling in" period. Although most of our friends have relocated since we left, we still know a few people there and it will be much easier to build a group of friends over there since everyone is transitional and isn't afraid to make connections however short-lived that may be.
The move is happening soon, August 12th, so I am going to enjoy every bit of our last British summer and then on to Dubai we go!
Anyone who wants to make an impromptu trip to London or Dubai is welcome:)
