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.
