My husband will be making his way to DC in a few hours. I feel for him because he is so nervous that his stomach in knots. I know that he feels that our dream is on the line and that he'll be letting me down if he doesn't pass. He also really wants to pass for him- to feel that he can accomplish something prestigious and because he has become so excited about being an Economic officer (and about leaving his current job).
I gave him a pep talk last night, but I guess another is due tonight. 8 months ago, I thought that even if I passed the QEP, there was no way we would pursue this dream because he wasn't on board. I feel so lucky that he came around and now is as excited about this opportunity as I am. So if it takes us a year or two to make this happen, hey, it's not ideal, but it's manageable. I mean, what other dream job allows you to interview over and over again?
Drive safely, sweetie, and good luck. You'll do great, and I love you no matter the outcome.
We packed up the family and joined the Foreign Service in 2011. Currently in: Mexico City, Mexico!
