A change of plans but a bright tomorrow

My first six weeks back in the United States have been hectic. Two weddings; three weekends in Chicago; a trip to Minneapolis; two trips to Crandon, WI; and what seems like a ton of catch-up work both around the house and to complete my teaching certification.

Add to that a sudden change of plans.

Cori and I will not be returning to Hungary this fall. However, I fully intend to enroll in a teacher exchange program within the next five years. I have recently accepted a position teaching history and working with at-risk students at Germentown High School. I'm excited about the opportunity to begin working "for real" after six month of student teaching and a year of education classes. We will likely sell our house and move somewhere north of Milwaukee.

In the coming weeks I will continue working to compile a formal pictoral presentation on my time in Hungary, and plan to invite friends, family and the community to a public showing. Stay tuned for details, or email me if you wish to be notified when a date and place are set.

Until then, viszlat, szia and hello!
