In 2008, I had an ideal life. I was working part-time for a chemical company as a supply chain implementation lead, and I was a part-time stay at home mom in the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia. It felt like I had the best of both worlds — until my husband came home with an opportunity to send us halfway around the world.
As a couple, we’d always been open to moving; six years into our marriage, we were already on our third move together. So, when he told me about his company’s offer to move us to Prague, it felt like a no-brainer. We collectively made the decision to seize the opportunity and lean into the adventure.
It was only a two-year assignment. It’d be like going on a really long vacation, right?
