I had the idea to start a blog to document our India adventure while I was en route so I'll have to back-date my first few entries to get us up to date. For those of you who know me well, I know what you're thinking...a blog, Diana...really? I had a blog before...dianakhosla.blogspot.com...if you check it out you'll see that typically blogging and I don't work well but I figure this is a good exception...let's see how I do. I make no promises other than I will try:)
So let's start on December 27th - Let the Adventure Begin!
It seemed like we were waiting for December 27th forever...the day we would pack up our little family and head off to India on our great adventure. Why India? Good question! In short, I've been working on a project team at Deloitte for a number of years now that is leading our involvement with the firm's off-shoring initiative in India. During our 10 weeks in India, my responsibilities will vary but essentially I'll be doing whatever needs to be done to help our Canadian audit practice work as effectively as possible with our India teams during the bulk of our "busy season"...as us accountants like to call January to...well...I'm not sure busy season ever really ends but officially it ends around April.
So back to the 27th...we spent the day finishing up our packing and getting ready to go. Finally, we and our 6 suitcases, 1 pack'n'play, 2 backpacks and 2 carry-ons were ready to go! A special thanks to the Benwell clan and Paul's brother, Peter, for getting us to the airport and to the Sangsters for hanging out with us all after we checked in.
While we waited to board the plane I was feeling...
...excited - what an opportunity for our little family!
...nervous - traveling with a 3 year-old and a 7 month-old is a daunting task!
...proud - I love my job and I'm proud of my career to date and the new opportunities that were awaiting in India
...blessed...very blessed. Blessed to work for Deloitte, blessed to have a husband that would press pause in his world to support me, blessed to have kids who are wonderful, flexible and adaptable...simply, blessed.
Farewell Halifax! See you soon...
