There’s a quote: “When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.”

Sorry for our silence these past few weeks. As you might have guessed, we received Alex’s onward assignment. As you might have also guessed, it was not what we were hoping. It is not an awful place, but it was at the very bottom of our list because it does not meet our only preference: somewhere that would make us becoming a tandem couple possible. We’re confused, angry, and sad all at once. This changes a lot for us, and we’re honestly not sure what’s coming next. We hope you’ll forgive us for not saying more until we do.
