| Introduction | I worked for about 10 years in the IT field in the Northern Virginia region and lived in Manassas for about 11 years. My wife, Emily, achieved her long-time (and hard-fought) dream and started with the US Foreign Service in 2006. Our first posting was in Monterrey, Mexico, where we spent two years. As soon as I knew where we were headed and when I could get Spanish training, I gave notice and quit my job. After two years in Mexico, we spent a while back in the US learning Albanian for our current post in Tirana. I am currently not employed and have resumed my college studies (I WILL finish a degree one of these days!). I’ve taking up blogging to keep friends and relatives up to date. My blog is also an outlet to express the pleasures and frustrations associated with living abroad on behalf of the US government. My long-term goal is to hone my writing skills to the point where I can earn a living as an author and editor. In the meantime, I am a trailing male – the male spouse of a female Foreign Service Officer, a student, and, happily, a kept man. |
