Different Playgroup, Different Day

Today Gray and I joined in on a Foreign Service playgroup at a park here in Falls Church. You guys probably don't know, but a previous client of mine is here with her husband. He is in Urdu language training right now and they leave for Chennai, India in October. When she was in labor at Northside I found out that he had passed the FS Exam and was really excited for them. At that time JohnPaul had also turned in his application, but it was still a distant dream for us. Anyway, I contacted her to find out where they were when we got the notification that he was officially accepted. As fate would have it, she and her (now 14 month old) son arrived here to meet her husband 8 days before Gray and I arrived.

We had dinner down by the grills the other night and today I hitched a ride with her to playgroup. There were three other moms there. One's husband an FSO (Foreign Service Officer), one's husband with DS (Diplomatic Security) and another husband is with USAID (United States Agency for International Development). One of the moms sells Arbonne and is coming over to give me and my friend a mini-makeover tonight. I am looking forward to that though. Makeup is on my list of things to stock up on so I thought I would give it a whirl. Plus she and her family were in Nairobi the same time that I was there, so conversation should be good.
