Everyone has asked Maurice & I why we wanted to move to Europe for a year. Well, it started out sometime in 2002 when Maurice suggested to me that it would be a good educational opportunity for the boys. Additionally, we were receiving various inquiries from companies outside of the US related to medical device repair. As you can imagine, we discussed it on and off - half the time I was thinking there is no way in hell that Maurice could pick up, leave family, friends & the daily operation of the business to travel!! As you can imagine, once Maurice has an idea, it doesn't go away easily. We read day in and day out about folks that say "I wish I would have..." Everyone seems to want to put off adventure until some later date or when the kids are grown and have started lives of their own. For us, we felt like "life is for the living" and thought wouldn't it be great at some future point to be sitting around with everyone and reminisce about our year in Europe. Additionally, we read and see how technology is changing the world and how important it is that we understand other people and cultures. What better way than to take the boys with us and experience it first hand. So, after we finished with Lauren's House, and felt the daily operations of Total Scope were in capable hands, we finally said "let's do it". |
