In early August of 2013, I was cuddling with my husband (who at that time was not yet my husband) discussing potential post retirement thoughts/dreams/plans, when he says to me;
I have something in mind that I want to do, or try to do, but I don’t really think it would work for you.
I replied why on earth would I ever try to keep him from doing anything he really wanted to do AND that he could not possibly ever decide what would or would not work for me. We had to discuss it to know.
He blurts out that he wants to apply for a job in the United Arab Emirates. I did not hesitate when I said Let’s do it!
Now, almost 3 years later, I am sitting on an airplane headed for Abu Dhabi, where my (now) husband has already been for 3 months. His is a work visa. My visa reads “Housewife.” (WTH!!!) I have no idea what to do with that, but I am pretty sure it has never been in my repertoire. And so the adventure begins… Stay Tuned!
Expathappy, husband to Domestikatie, finds this blog interesting. Yep, it happened the way she explained. All I can say is “Housewife” has never been the case for Domestikatie and I’m sure it will not be the case now. She can not sit still and already has big plans. They will be forthcoming. Stay tuned and find out how it all unfolds.
This is SO exciting! Thank you so much for making these posts and sharing your adventure with us worker bees…..
