How this all started...

Ok, it is finally time for me to start blogging about my adventure. I will probably have to back up a little bit before I can begin. As you can see my very 1st post was in September. I have been doing a lot of planning since then. 

So...how this all started. 
I have always known about au pairs and thought it would be an interesting job to do one day. About a year ago I realized that someday was now. My life has lined up in a way that has allowed me to pick up and leave the country. I figure I may never have this opportunity again and I am taking advantage of it. 

I moved in with my awesome friend Jessie and put most of my furniture in storage. I took a job as a photographer with Picture People, which has been awesome and super rewarding. I also began babysitting for Julie, who I used to work with at The Adams Group (another very fun job).

Julie helped me get a job babysitting everyday for her friends. 
Now I would like to take a break in my blog and do a little "show & tell" about Luke, Sam, & William. (By the way, my blog will probably be mostly stream of consciousness, but for anyone who has spent 5 minutes with me, you already know this is my normal mode of operation.)

The following are a few pictures that I had taken at Picture People where I work. I just think people need to understand how seriously cute these kids are.
Below is Sam (age 4) on the left and Luke (age 6) on the right. 
This is William, or otherwise pronounced Will-yum. Quite adorable right?


Ok, that's enough for today. ignore the time post on this blog. I've accomplished a lot today. Tomorrow I'll be adding pictures of Julie's kids, Jack & Edward, also some videos of Luke & Sam.
