Czech Republic?
Is this the promotion?
That is just cruel. Now I am dying to know! I could say Slovenia, but that would just be way too cool. I'm thinking the Czech Republic sounds like a good match too.
Congrats! I have always wanted to go to the Czech Republic - I'll expect pictures on the blog!
I have no idea. I was really hoping for America.
i wouldn't be anywhere close to the alps because you've already wasted living as close as you were and not going snowboarding
Do you REALLY expect me to be excited? Come on. I think I'm going to get as surly over this as Brian was over American Idol!!! You want me excited? Try the continental US, preferably west of the Mississippi - THEN I'll get excited! (Love you all anyway.) :(
IT'S BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC. Do I win a prize?
I don't know where it is, but a country full of athiests, flooding, drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime, sounds like home to me.
Kevin here - Kim, I just picked the best facts to share. Congrats to Brian for the first complete answer (sorry, Teresa). Prize ... hum? It will be a surprise, but look in the mail in the coming weeks.
Sure, get all technical on me! I was robbed!
Kevin, I was totally joking. I almost wrote that it sounds like you are coming back to the U.S., but I thought it was funnier worded the other way. I wish you guys were coming back to the U.S.
Teresa, you got robbed just like David Archuleta got robbed. Kevin, I am SO excited to see what the mail brings. As long as it's not an autographed photo of Pat I'll be happy. So, when ARE you guys moving back home?
We passed the third year of a one-year assignment in Bratislava in February. Brno is also a one-year assignment :) ... see you guys in 2011.
Brian, let the whole David issue go already. I am so sad for you that you don't have anything else to fill your time with these days.
Kevin, at least we could get a chance to come visit before you leave. Jack just got his passport a couple of weeks ago so we are good to go!
Teresa you are just bitter that you lost to, of all people, ME! Man, that must suck!
Hey Brian - when's the WAAAbulance coming to get you?
Enough already----we miss you terriby and want you back in the good ole USA. Acually, I wish the best for your whole family and now I can come back for a visit!!!Love you soooooooooooo much!
The illicit drugs is an interesting aspect but any country w/out a decent marijuana base can't be good.
I thought I posted a comment - where did it go? Czech republic was also my guess - didn't know we had to guess the city too.
Best of luck, and be sure to send us your new address, etc.
We might be moving within a year, too.. don't know where for sure, but possibly the East coast again. :-)
