As of this summer, we will have called Colorado home for 7 years. This is the longest the SP has lived in any one place his whole life. So, I guess I can't be surprised he has an itch to move. Of course, calling Colorado home for him is a bit of a misnomer. It's more like 'home base.' His job takes him all over North America. In fact, I can't keep track of where he is, and I don't even try. All I know is he's not in the zip code.
Me, on the other hand, I never leave the zip code. Most of that is due to the fact I work from home. I get up, commute a few steps to the office, and here I am. The kid's school is a few blocks away, in the zip code. The gym? Also in the zip code. My favorite places - the library, Target, Starbucks - all in the zip code. Dry Cleaners - zip code. Grocery store - zip code. Favorite Indian Restaurant - zip code. Most of my daily world takes place in a few mile radius.
Until now. It is official. I am leaving the zip code. We're moving to Jordan this summer where most places don't have street names and addresses. I'm guessing they don't have a zip code. But the important part is, we may be out of the zip code, but we will all be together.
About Me

- Amman, Jordan
- How is it the dishes can make it to the sink but never into the dishwasher? Can a dog be trained not to wipe dog snot on the sliding glass door? Is my parenting today going to lead to therapy tomorrow? Would I want to be married to me? Is it true if you eat a can of frosting for lunch, and no one is looking, it has no calories? I'm the mom of two and a student pursuing my Masters in Libraries and Information Management. All I want to know is if there can be a Simple Answer.

wheeee!
Congratulations on your upcoming move. I've been there and have friends there (hello Karey!) and I hear that it's a nice place for families.
You'll also still have cold and snow, so you won't be too far off from Colorado.
Hey, indeed we have zip codes, I know of one that is even 5 digits like the US used to be, 11183.
When we get back from our trip to the US in August, MommaBean and I will treat you to a cup of Belgian hot chocolate and that wild Galler place! If you have any questions, feel free to email me at hope4wounded@gmail.com
(Jill, I have an American friend in Amman named Kerri :D)
(I saw that post about Chicago. You ARE The Mom!!!!!)
Hope you have fun living in Jordan...it is a nice place to be and you will like the community there..best of luck!
Thank you all for your comments and enthusiasm! We are so excited.
Kinzi, what a lovely invite and I would love it! We don't have a date to be in Jordan yet - but before August 1st. I'd also like to try your church.
Wow. Jordan?
My zipcode is 91364, extending all the way to 91367 (I like to live dangerously) and I bet that between target and starbuck, you and I see the same sights, buy the same junk. But Jordan? Wow, wow.
