What in the world are we doing in Seattle?
I have been getting this question a lot lately so thought I would post it here.
In 2001 Dave was offered a job here with Boeing developing the software for the AEWACS...very exciting project with the Department of Defence. On what was to be an 18mth contract.
Dave and I (and the dog) packed up our life in Australia and ended up moving to the states 2 weeks after 9/11, what a crazy time to fly let alone move to a country that was about to go to war!
Anyway, long story short. We are still here! 7yrs later and loving it more than ever. Dave found work with another aerospace company after our contract ran out with Boeing last year. He is now working on the software for the Boeing Dream liner.
Since moving here we have had 2 amazing boys, bought a house and made the most wonderful friends.
Even though we do get homesick from time to time and we miss our family and friends so much, not to mention the beautiful Sydney weather....this is home!
