rolling in the new year!

Well its been a busy one, but I'm finally back online. After having to move out all our stuff and get settled into the parents in laws place, i'm now able to breath... well for the time being. I'm amazed how much stuff someone (or in this case sometwo) can collect over , well over 9 months. I know I didn't buy much stuff.. There must be an answer! I'm not sure what we will do with all this stuff, but I'm sure we'll think of somthing. Well over the last few months, we have been thinking about what we could do in the future. And its not an easy question to ask. But this is the latest on our minds. Just so its not a surprise, we've have been playing with the idea of actually staying in France. Probably not forever, but for a while longer. This only came up with Celine's most recent job. She is actually working towards becoming an assistant manager at the store she's working at. If this happens she would get a CDI contract. What this means is she will pretty much have a job for life. Well.. by that I mean, here in france, the government looks after the employees more than the employers. So once a employee has a CDI contract, it would cost the company alot of money to fire this person. Unlike in the US, where they tell you... "sorry but I'm gonna have to let you go, here's two weeks pay, good luck"... that wasn't fun! But honestly when it comes down to it its this... When we think about going back to the US, we don't know where we would go. We don't have jobs to go back to. Family and friends are spread all over the place, in places most likely we wouldn't move to any was. And what happens when we want kids. Paying $400 a month for insurance plus the premium, I mean its only 30 euros a month here, and most of its givin back anyways. I'm getting ahead of my self. Of course this is only an option if Celine is offered the CDI, and that hasn't happened yet, so we will see.
