COngrats!:) What I don't understand is why the nicest months either come before or after the school vacation period;)

I miss some things, but I'm not sad to be gone (yet).

Do you miss Paris yet? I can't be more than 6 months away from a long stay there.

Not sure about the expat title, but I definitely get to keep both nationalities.

so, do you become an Expat ExFranco Expat & loose your french citizenship?

2011-06-12T06:17:19.296+02:00

house inspectors are worth every penny - we have bought/sold 8 houses in our 27 yrs of marriage - 2 w/o house inspectors and oh dear, the roofing repairs costs a pretty penny to those 2 houses...

the plus - unless "things" are different in Seattle - is you are in a buyer's market & have a lot of leverage.

2011-06-12T06:14:06.790+02:00

geez - i don't read the blogs for weeks and now it appears i will have to visit seattle to see you instead of a visit in paris (oh darn)

Thanks for the info!

As you may know already, Einar Johansen is the top name for attic and crawlspace insulation. My hundred-year-old bungalow had zero insulation too, and they did a great job at reasonable cost.

He had a sotf top jeep when he lived in Seattle before. I was not fond of it.

2011-05-28T23:40:17.261+02:00

I'm tall too. Tell the Brit to try a Jeep Wrangler. I miss my Jeep when I'm in Paris, but as you probably know there is no good reason to have a car in Paris.

2011-05-25T19:31:51.139+02:00

ALL of Seattle is "the darkside." A very insufferable city, I have noted. Good luck though. Sounds as though you like the place so all will be well in time.

Native Californian here who loves the Pacific Northwest and often thinks about moving to Seattle.

One of my favorite cities in the US!

2011-05-06T21:24:39.008+02:00

Just found your blog via your interview on Blog Expat and was intrigued because I'm a fellow Seattleite/expat myself (though I'm a bit further south than you here in Spain.) Best of luck with the move back home, it's a special place that I miss very much!

Why did you decide to do it?

2011-05-05T12:50:17.194+02:00

Why did you decide to do it?

2011-05-04T23:16:43.145+02:00

KSam - good luck to you too! I don't know yet if I'll continue the blog, perhaps I will post about the reverse culture shock.

2011-05-04T22:54:49.284+02:00

Wow, there must be something in the water! It feels like everyone is up and moving back home as of late. I'll miss your blog, but good luck with everything!!

2011-05-04T22:38:49.893+02:00

During the first few years I didn't have plans to return either, but now is a different story. It's going to be odd being back, but I'm ready to leave Europe.

2011-05-04T19:48:06.904+02:00

Wow, big decision! I'm a Seattleite who has lived in London for 2 years and now Paris for 1 year. We haven't even been back to visit in those 3 years with no plans to or return. I can't wait to hear how things go with your re-entry, culture shock, etc. Good luck!

2011-04-18T20:43:01.920+02:00

Congrats!!! Wishing you and the Brit a wonderful marriage :) BTW, I can relate to the sister in law issue.
