You will have to bare with me as I am learning this new "blog thing".  I realize now that I was quite vague with my first post.

Here is the scoop.  Dan works for a French company called Sagem, which is based in Paris.  Safran is it's parent company and owns many companies all over the world.  Dan was asked to go to the Paris Air Show in June.  At this show, he met with a number of people from Safran and we were told that there was a possibility of him going to Paris to work for a year or two and then return to Dallas.  I was jumping for joy upon hearing this news but we were under the impression that it would not come into fruition for another year or so.  Wrong!

Fast forward to this week.  A number of senior executives from Safran were in town and told Dan that he needs to be in Paris by January 2010.  We will be in Paris and "get this" the south of France for the next one to two years.  "Someone pinch me please."

We have a lot to do between now and then......let's see........we need to lease our house in Southlake, find an apartment in Paris, what do we do with our cars(?), what do we do with Otis (our dog?) , find a school in Paris, learn French (although the first three months Dan will be working half day and going to language school the other half), obtain visas, get all our important paperwork together, find a property management company, open up a bank account in France, the list is endless.  Breathe Gina breathe.  

I hope I answered some of your questions I received via email.  See, I love this already.  One quick blog and I cover all my bases.  Fabulous!
