After 7 months of training, studying and taking tests, Billy’s big day arrived on Tuesday, September 28th in the Benjamin Franklin Room at the US State Department. He and his fellow colleagues graduated and received their credentials.We were thankful to have been able to share the special day with his mom, two sisters, nephew and our good friend Eileen. When the director called Billy’s name up to the stage, I couldn’t help but feel proud of all my husband’s accomplishments. A quick flash back of when we first started dating came to mind. We met at Sea World when we were 17 and during our lunch breaks we would have long chats about what we wanted from life, relationships, and about the future. Now here we are. We’re finally seeing our hard work and accomplishments unfold before our very eyes, and that is truly a gratifying feeling.
We’ll be posted in DC for the next 2 years. Billy has been selected to a very important assignment, which will require alot of travel time. When he’s home our time together will be extra special, and once he begins to accumulate some comp time, we hope to extend some of his travels overseas, so I can accompany him from time to time.
Now begins a new journey for me as well. The world is my oyster. What’s my calling? There are so many various directions and paths to consider. We’ll see what unravels.
