This is the post Jessica thought would never come: she is moving back to Australia.This is the post I thought would never come, but knew was inevitable, such is the life of an expat. Jace and I, after much thought and deliberation, have decided to move back to Australia. Due to several factors, the timing is right. And while on one hand we are both sad to close this chapter of our cosmopolitan lives, on the other we are really excited to open the next by returning to Jace's home of Perth, Australia and trying our hand at planting some roots.
Let's cut to the chase though as you must have questions, and I have prepared some answers to those questions that we seem to get a lot of now that the word is out.

I see retirement cruises in the Mediterranean in our future... if not earlier vacations/adventures!
You just got the handle on your German and now you are leaving?!
Well, I know. That sucks doesn't it? Or should I say, "Das ist total doof, oder? Es macht mich auch verrückt." But it’s cool; I am already taking applications a la Paris Hilton for My New Super Cool German-Speaking Aussie Best Friend. Please contact me for details. 
What are you going to do in Perth?
I am looking at online marketing/digital roles in Perth. If you have an opportunity for me, let me know. I am available to rock your digital world as of December 2009. Otherwise, we will be living it up in our house that has been waiting for us these last few years, albeit in the hands of what I hear are clean freak renters (thank you, we love you), dreaming of our future Labrador puppy whose name I will spare you for the time being, and no doubt Jace will be keeping my long list of Asian vacation plans in check.
