Beside myself with jealousy

[megalicious]

My sister just announced that her H took a position working for the State Department in Moscow and they'll be living there for 2 years. I can't even describe how jealous I am. I've wanted to live abroad my entire life and the rate we're going, I'll likely never even get to see Europe and now my sister gets to go live in Russia. It just makes me feel so horrible about my shitty little life.

You could be dead. Could be worse, man.

Look at it this way - now you'll have an awesome place to visit!

I'll be honest, Russia still makes me a little nervous.

haha! I don't think this is supposed to be funny.

I still think of bread lines. That's probably not realistic. And babushkas and wrinkly old ladies giving the camera the stink eye.

I should probably travel more.

Hmmm. I wouldn't be too jealous about this. Russia is still sorta scary. Just a little bit though.

AND ITS BRRRRRRRRRRR COLD.

So apply for jobs overseas.

I get the jealousy idea, trust me. My sister has two kids under two and I have none. But go lurk on the International Living board. Trailing spouses often have a real tough time adjusting to life abroad with no career of their own. Anyhoo, use this as an opportunity to decide where you want your life to go in the next few years and make it happen.

I know how you feel. My sister just got engaged to an English dude and will be moving to London shortly.

Seriously though, you can go to Europe sometime, especially now that you have a free place to stay. It is possible to do it relatively cheaply.
