We are moving to Spain!!! Doug and I have been looking for jobs overseas for a few months now in Dublin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Greece, South Korea, among others.
I applied to a million companies online, all over the world, but all of those dead-ended pretty quickly with Visa issues. I still had an email address for a family I almost au paired for, and thought what do I have to lose? So i contacted her and just said we were looking for jobs overseas and she got back to me and said "Good news!!"
Here is the response:
"Hi Kathryn,

Funny lady, my mom.
In the past week, Doug has downloaded Rosetta stone and has learned how to say "The horse under the airplane. The dog on top of the car. The woman on top of the horse." Needless to say, we have a long way to go, but are so excited about the adventure!
So we will be living in Mollerussa, in Lleida in Northern Spain near Barcelona. Everything else is pretty much up in the air, but that's what makes it so much fun!
