The Job Drop

At work a couple weeks ago, Paul got the list of job openings for intelligence officers.  There wasn't a lot of variety and we are okay with moving pretty much anywhere.  We ranked the jobs.  We considered Paul's job preferences first, and location second.  We knew we would be happy anywhere except if Paul had to go to Korea (without me).

The job-drop was on Friday at a park near our house.  It was a beautiful night.  They planned a big party with pizza and drinks (mostly alcoholic), a DJ, balloons, and some games.  Here's Paul and I at the beginning of the night, waiting patiently until they announce the jobs.

The two classes played a couple innings of "drunk" kick-ball (notice the red cups).

Then I guess the leaders decided that it wasn't fun enough so they lined the students up and threw dodgeballs at them.  Who knows why!?  Paul's on the very right:

Then they finally got around to announcing the jobs!  Someone decided that it would be funny to write the jobs on a piece of paper, laminate the paper, stick it in a pie pan, and then cover it with pudding, cookies, sprinkles, and whatever else they could find, and then make everyone use their faces to get the piece of paper out.  I still don't understand why they couldn't just stick the piece of paper in a envelope and hand it to us, or just write it on the board in class or something.  Oh well!

Paul was in the last group.  By this time all the jobs we didn't really want had been assigned.  Here they are waiting again:

Here they are with their faces in the pudding:

And there's Paul.  He couldn't see what it said because he didn't have his glasses on and the paper was covered in pudding!  I looked at it for him though!

Turns out that we are going to Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina!  That was our first pick!  We were pretty surprised, but happy!

We're excited to be close to some family and to experience a new place!  We're not sure when we leave yet, but class ends mid-July, so hopefully we'll be moving by August!  :)
