Welcome to my blog! My name is Julie Riddlebarger (hence the blog's title), and I am a teacher of English as a Second Language. I am also a writer.
This is my first blog, and I'm creating it for my friends, family, and students to keep in touch with me as I begin my international teaching journey. I am moving with my family to Abu Dhabi (in the United Arab Emirates) in August 2008 to teach English in a new college there. (I will check with the school about their policies for naming the institution in blogs.) That is less than four months from now, and we have a lot to do.
I will be posting here, on no regular schedule, to share my experiences preparing to move, getting settled in a new country and culture, teaching in another country, and anything else that comes to mind!

To Kristin, Leonie, Shelly: Thanks for reading and commenting.
To Leonie: Be careful; I might ask you for some help as you MUST be a packing expert!
