Well, this is it. My first blog started to keep track. (I'd lose my own head if it wasn't attached ya know)
For those first time visitors...
My name is Caryssa and am recently married to Brian. We currently live in WI. Brian just got the email invitation to attend school on September 26, 2011 for his position as a Diplomatic Security Special Agent. We have been waiting for this email for almost a year!
You see-last year in July, I met Brian. He had just finished his bachelor's degree in 2 years which was post to his 8 years in the marines. Then, he wanted to look for a career and found the agent position. Just as quickly he fell in love with me, he fell in love with the job. So, in August he applied. Then in November he and I drove down to Chicago for the interview. We found out in December that he passed the interview and the background/medical checks would begin in January. Target completion date was in March, but we found out 3 days after our wedding (May 27) that he passed the background check. Yay! This was a huge obstacle to overcome. Well, the story goes on that, he was notified that he was put on a list. Brian was number 106 out of 147. Then, just this week, on Tuesday he received and email that notified him he was number 21 out of 182! What a leap.
So we are both extremely excited to move in September to D.C. From there we will move to Georgia and then back to D.C. and then to 1 of 8 cities within the next year!
So that's the big news with us. Besides that.....we are having a wedding on May 27 2012. Even though we are already married, we were married in the courthouse in 2011 so that we had all of the paperwork done and taken care of for this new job. So, while we'll be moving, we will also be planning a wedding!
Ok, I will keep everyone posted as to what's going on with this whole moving around and such deal with our lives. We are in for an adventure.
Over and out.
