Expat

Last year my husband came home from work and said : " They asked me to move to America for two years? What do you think about that?"
Is I didn't like to have that conversation in the presence of our twins, so we waited till they were in bed.
We have had to decide within 5 days, my husband said later that evening.
I was totally flabbergasted but I liked the idea of changing my life for a few years.
So we did!
We told the kids 2 weeks before we left.
They were nervous, astonished, excited but how and the closer to the departure department date how the more excited they became. they liked it.
The day we moved they were also done with saying goodbye and hugging everybody.
Of course the trip was one big event happening , especially because we had to take our dog with us.
After a long flight, and a long drive we were in the hotel, we ate a Big Macs and fell in asleep.
