And The Winner Is...

 


KAMPALA, UGANDA!!!!  A Consular position beginning Fall 2012.

More info, including the story of bidding, to come soon.  For now, I'm basking in the excitement of getting my #1 bid and putting all the anxiety of the last month behind me.  Time to focus on the future - back to Africa!!

Getting your #1 bid is always the best. We didn't get our #1 (Rio de Janeiro), but it wasn't realistic (Karl needed language and the timing wouldn't allow for a full class). But our realistic #1 was Manila, which we got! It was great but also scary since neither of us had been here, and it was a shot in the dark. We love it though so we lucked out!

Congratulations! I have heard good things about Kampala and can't wait to hear more when you get there! Don't forget to fully enjoy being where you are right now, though - the time will fly quickly!

Thanks ladies! Carla, Manila was #2, and I would have been happy with that as well! Thanks for the good advice Nomads - I am giving myself the weekend to be super excited, and then it's back to the here and now :-).
