Yes, it has me singing Europe songs in my mind. The final countdown has indeed begun. I am finally on the OMS rregister and will in one of the upcoming orientation classes.
Could be January or March or ?????
This is where it gets tricky. The end of the fiscal year is upon us Federal worker types and we must wait and see what the 2012 budget news will be. Chances are we will be on a continuing resolution, which means last years budget numbers, and we will be ok.
I know there are 32 on the register and I am somewhere in the top 12, i think.
Then, after classes are announced, they take the first ones on the register. There is no guarantee how many they will take per class. So, I will keep everyone posted..
In the meantime, WOHOOOOO! I made it:))
My momma would be proud..
This site is a dedication to our family and friends. We want to keep in touch and share our journey with you as we begin our new life together in the Foreign Service.

Whew!! A little bit closer now:)
Well, I was finally granted my looonggg awaited Top Secret clearance. I am so happy!
Now to pass through the final suitability review and get on the register.
Then I wait some more until there is another class confirmed (probably in January).
So, there will be more anxiety in my future, but for now I am so relived and overjoyed:)
I am very thankful to all of my friends and family who helped me with this process. Many of you took time out of your day to speak with my investigator and others just listened to me complain and stress out for 2 months. Either way, you have helped by being there for me:)
Wohoooooo!! Time for a celebratory dinner and dip in Lake Superior with my new snorkeling gear.
Its really warm today but is suppose to be in the 60's the rest of the week so I have to take advantage now!!!!

I'm bored so I will blog
Hmmm. Sept 7th. Today I am still waiting. I want to email security just to have some action and a connection to my possible new reality.
Last night I was determined to wake up at 5:30 this morning and do yoga. Fail. I got downstairs at 5:45, laid out my mat, laid face down on my mat, and went back upstairs to cuddle in bed with the hubby for another 30 minutes.
Oh well. I'll try again. I ordered the stuff to do an aryuvedic cleanse for 7 days. Its nice to detox before the beginning of fall. Seasons change, body needs to change.
I'm still dreaming of a new life in the FS, but I know that even without it, I am happy.
I have so much that I am grateful for. I have love, family, amazing beauty surrounding me everyday. I'm good.
But......I still want this and I'm certain that it will come. I just have to wait like everyone else. After all, its only been 2 months and 6 days (who's counting) since my security investigation was initiated.
I know that the federal govt is busy and backed up. So, it not me-its them.
This is the first exercise of many to come in the area of waiting and the unknown.
So, all of that yoga that I used to do is sure coming in handy. All of the awareness and calm intention. Now to get back to it.
Tonight.

trying not to be a freak
ok, so i am still waiting for my security clearance. My target date was August 30th and now it is Sept 6th. The sept class starts on the 26th and is the last for the year. Last I heard there was one spot left in it.
So, I'm kinda blue. I was really hoping to be starting this journey sooner than later. Now I am wondering if I will be getting a clearance at all. Its driving me nuts and I have been emailing security like a psycho..
Not good.
I have to just stay clam and not panic. I know that I have been a good person and should have nothing to worry about. This is my destiny. Right? Okay. relax, enjoy the jobs you do have, and dont freak out:)
