My husband left this morning for Washington, DC. Tomorrow he is attending the final task in becoming chosen as a Foreign Service Officer: the oral assessment. It begins at 7:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m. He will know tomorrow whether or not he is chosen to go on with a career in the Foreign Service. A lot of things have happened since my initial post on this blog, where I was apprehensive about the possibility of moving overseas. My belief now is that this opportunity could make a big difference in the quality of life for my family, especially my children. It will offer them excellent education and they will learn so much just by living in a foreign land. As for me, I would no longer have to worry about working and could focus my attention entirely on the well-being of my kids and the family.
So tonight I pray for God’s will, and that Woody will be able to give it his best shot even though I know he’s stressed out and nervous as heck about it! He has been studying for months and I think he’s well prepared. I think he also has a lot of characteristics of the type of person they are looking for, so that will be to his advantage. I’ll let you know the outcome tomorrow.
Tammy, the challenges facing you and your family are obviously enormous, but the opportunities are just as great. Your careful assessment of the pros and cons of the situation clearly brings you to opting for the positive approach. I admire your courage, and wish you and your family all the best.
Much love from Aunt Peggy
