Before you read what I write. Read who I am.

Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now. My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.

It's come

Since the last post there has been a lot more uncertainty. We have sat and waited, learned that we would not get the London contract as it was explained and promoted and furthermore would be granted (maybe) a smaller 3 month contract.

Now that I've also gone through a round of 4 interviews with another company we have recieved the word of the 3 month travelling contract and I will be leaving this Sunday to London. It will be a 2 weeks there 2 here sorta deal and will mean stress on all of us. The end hope here is that our worth will be proven as we evolve Acer in the next 3 months and they will extend our contracts until the end of the 2012 Games. Then we will move over and live in the UK under the terms of our original contract offers.

I'm excited and aprehensive. I hate flying with teeth grinding passion and am not looking at 6x 10 hour flights as a good thine per se. I'm looking forward to scoping out London and seeing if we could be comfortable there, meeting the folks I worked with on 2010 again in London and all the new people.

Kate and the kids will be looking at camps and daycare and lots of visits with friends over the summer while I am going to be looking at spreadsheets and training materials. Woo. Not all bad by any means for me as I will get time in the UK and also the omg fun of coming home to my family 3 times over.
