Congratulations!

When I started thinking seriously about joining the Foreign Service, I spent hours and hours pouring over blogs written by Foreign Service Officers, Foreign Service Specialists, and their family members. I even found some blogs of prospective FS employees and unfortunately many of them start blogging about their FS journey, only to stop when something derailed their plans.  I didn't want to be one of those blogs, so I just stopped blogging for fear of jinxing the process.

Well, I'm happy to say that I've made it through the process and received an invitation to the April 18th Foreign Service Specialist Orientation!  That means I can start blogging again without fear that I'll become a sad, forgotten, Foreign Service aspirant!  Anyway, there is a LOT to catch you up on.  And by "you" I mean no one in particular, as I haven't shared this blog with anyone  yet, but I certainly know people will stumble upon it eventually.  I'll post some updates about what has happened since my last post, nearly a year ago, and how we are busy preparing for the big move ahead!
