The Bid List is coming! The Bid List is coming!

The Bid List that we have been dreaming of, waiting for, and stressing over will finally be given to us tomorrow! That's right we the Gnome family will finally have a list of countries given to us and on that list will be our new home. It is so exciting to finally see the list and prioritize the countries based on our needs and wants. We are a pretty positive family so no matter what they throw at us we will make the best out of it. Additionally, I don't think we are going to be able to sleep and I am going to go crazy waiting for Papa Gnome to get home, this is so unfair… the waiting should be illegal.


However, getting the list is just the first part and soon after we agonize over how to rate the embassies and consulates, we get to wait on the second part of this process, which is the painful waiting until July 16 for Flag Day. On Flag Day, Papa Gnome will be presented with the flag of the country we will be calling home for the next 2 years. So if I thought waiting 24hrs for the list is bad, I can only think how insane I will be waiting for Flag Day in 4 weeks!

We are calling on all of our friends and family with ESP or second sight, good horoscopes or even a Magic 8 Ball… will you help us guess where Baby Gnome will call home next?
