When Kevin started law school in 2006, we knew where we'd be living and what we'd be doing for the next 3 years or so. That's the last time we've had that luxury. But after today, we'll know where we'll be for the next 2-5 years. See, since Kevin speaks Chinese and used that skill to raise his scores and get hired sooner, he's obligated to use Chinese at one of his first two posts. Since there's only a tiny chance that he'll get sent to China this time, we're pretty sure that's where we'll go next time.
I'm excited about all our possibilities. But honestly, there are so many options that are each so entirely different, I'm a bit overwhelmed thinking abou them all. I'm happy that we find out today where we'll be going so I can just think about the one-- not all the "what ifs."
One of the biggest reasons I'm excited to know where we'll be in the future is that we'll be finding out where our next child will be born. The baby should be here about June 7th, and there are about a million places we could be at that point. Part of me thinks it would be best if we were still in DC. But on the other hand, moving around the world with a newborn and toddler would be pretty tough. If we are posted in a developing country with inadequate medical facilities, I'd go to a nearby first-world country to have the baby there. At least, that's my understanding. I'm sure each situation is different.
Well, this is an exciting day! Woo hoo!

Such an exciting day and news! Congratulations to all the Fishers! I hope you don't feel left out that Clint was in DC this week and didn't get to see you. He was there for some work training, and I didn't remember that you guys were there until Wednesday night, and he left Thursday. Not that he had a lot of free time, but it would have been nice for you to see each other.
Best of luck! I will be checking your blog tonight to hear. Didn't realize you were pregnant as well, congrats!
How exciting!! let us know where you are heading to...
Oh how I miss seeing you Cheals
Is this a sly way of announcing that you're pregnant!? Or did I miss the first announcement? Congratulations, and good luck finding out your future today!
Wait a sec, WHAT?!?!?!?!?
You are PREGNANT?!?!?!?
Congratulations! That was a very nonchalant way of making the announcement! When my sister and husband were stationed in Ghana, she flew back to the states for the birth of her baby, and stayed at my parents' house. She flew to the US at about 36 weeks, her husband came at 39 weeks, and he stayed until the baby was a week old before flying back to Ghana. Then my sister stayed in the US until the baby was a month old. It was complicated, but they decided a) they didn't really want to go to the Ghanaian hospitals for childbirth, and b) if their baby was born in Ghana, he'd have no shot at being president of the US later in his life!
Can't wait to hear the Flag Day results!
What exciting news! Congratulations on the new little one! I look forward to learning where you'll be heading. How long do you wait between finding out and going to your new home? Good luck!
Congrats! Way to sneak the pregnancy into this post;) That is wonderful! Good luck!
