Why are we going to Scotland you asked....???

Well, I guess that should have been my first entry to this blog eh? My apologies for those of you who are just catching up with the Potters' drama! Or should I say Journey of Life? Aaaahhh.....hence the title of this journal. :-) Anyway, short story long, we have decided that Dylan pursuing a PhD, which then allows him the option to teach at a university level (either a Religion class or at a seminary), is the best investment we can make for our future at this point in our lives. What is Dylan studying you ask? Systematic Theology - Angelology. Yes, it's a mouth-full! Basically, it's the study of Angels. Why Scotland? Well, first (there really is no order of reasons!) it's because he wants to study under Professor Brown. Second, the UK offers a 3-year program vs. a 5-year program in the US. As you get older, you start to realize that you cannot place a value on time - years saved. It's kind of like the Master Card commercial -- "PhD program - $xxxx, Plane tickets to get there $xxxx, Years saved - priceless!". :-) Plus, we really would like to experience living abroad while we can (before it gets complicated with older children - God willing!). I know that sounds a bit strange given the fact that I am technically living abroad!! ha ha....Well, it sort of cancels out once you've lived in a place for more than 10 years, don't you think? So, here we are, off to Scotland in less than 2 weeks....
