Well, Flag Day has come and gone, and Sarah and I have received our first assignment in the Foreign Service! I was originally just going to post a picture of the flag, so people would have to figure it out themselves, but I think most everyone knows this one. That's right, the Peterson are moving to CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO!
Congrats to the three folks who voted on North America for our first assignment! It wasn't exactly our first choice, but it was by no means our last choice either (so glad we are not moving to Lagos, Nigeria). It's not quite an exotic, far-off place, but we are excited to have all the benefits of being 15 minutes away from El Paso, TX, and to be close to my family in Arizona for a few years. We will be reporting in June 2013, which means we still have a lot of training and other things to take care of before we head out. Viva Mexico!
For a quick, dramatic representation of Sarah's reaction to this assignment, please view the following clip from Nacho Libre. In this scene, Sarah will be playing Nacho, I will be playing Esqueleto, and the corn represents our first assignment:
Only joking, of course!
