A New Beginning... again

So... we've decided to start a blog.  I'm not one for advertising our life online, but given the newest choice we've made as a family, I figured we needed a way to keep in touch with everyone at the same time.

First, the blog.  Many of you may be asking, "Where did you get a name like 'Spots' Around The Globe"?  It's a play on words.  First, since our last name is butchered so often (for those of you who know our last name, you know exactly what we mean), I figured the play on words would be cute.  And of course, the rest of the blog's name has everything to do with our new beginning.

I've been offered a position in the Foreign Service as a Specialist.  This particular job is something I've pursued for the past 8 years.  It took a lot of hard work, determination, and thousands of dollars traveling to dozens of interviews, but I've finally landed my dream job!  Of course, landing this job with the State Department means we'll be traveling all over the globe, hence the name "Spots" Around The Globe.

I start in May, but we have a lot to do before then.  We're excited about this opportunity and can't wait to see what the future holds!
