Sara and I had "regular" jobs, I guess you could say. She worked for a major breast cancer research study and I worked as a civilian contractor for the Military. Nothing in her medical research background or my 22 years in the Military even remotely prepared us for the path we had decided to take. Put our house on the market? Move to a different state? Work for a children's home as Family Teachers for up to eight elementary school-aged boys?
On September 21st, 2007, Sara and I turned out the lights on our careers and waited for October the 8th, our official first day as Family Teachers at the Thornwell Home for Children in Clinton, South Carolina. Leaving our home in Mebane NC with Sara's car in the lead and my pickup truck filled to the brim following behind, we started our trek southward down I-85 and left for something much different. Really really different!
