Foreign Service, Home, Pack Out

Welcome

I wasn't sold on this name for my blog. After all, I'm much more than just a diplomat's wife. However, Patrick's desire to be a diplomat is the reason we have been living the way we have been for the past 5 years; the reason we left all our family and friends on the west coast for Patrick to attend grad school to prepare for the Foreign Service Exam. He passed in January of 2010 and started A-100 in September. In March 2011 we left for our first post, Yaounde Cameroon, life has not been the same since. In this blog I will attempt to provide you with some insight into our lives that will, hopefully, make you realize that the world is a huge place with lots of people who need to be loved and cared for. But even in it hugeness we can still make a difference by loving our families and neighbors whether you're a diplomat's wife, a housewife in little Walla Walla or an executive in Washington.
