I know "Fixing for a Start" is a rip off from the Lewis and Clark expedition, but it is a nice fit for our adventure we are soon to embark on. Some time ago we wondered if there was another way to live our lives other than the usual 9-5 grind. What if we could live abroad? So we began to research. That set the wheel in motion and here we are months later about to set off to Europe for a year. We are the Moylan family. Mike 37, husband, father and carpenter. Cadence, wife, mother, and gardener. Isaiah 8, eldest of two brothers, artist and biology expert. Diego 6, youngest brother, math expert and problem solver. The preparations have been extensive to say the least. This blog is a way for our family and friends to follow us on this adventure. For me and maybe all of us the adventure of a lifetime. Hopefully my weekly entry (interweb access provided) will give a glimpse of what our day to day life is like and allow easy access for communication. Our trip begins June 1st, as we say goodbye to our home in the wonderful city of Portland, Oregon. There is still much to do and as of yet not much to write about so this blog may sit dormant for a bit until the beginning of June.
