Adventures

So Kim (my wife) and I are joining the Peace Corp. We applied back in August and have been waiting to hear something official for a few months now. A couple of weeks ago we finally heard that our application has been approved and we've been nominated for service.

In this we also found out what region we will be going to...North Africa/Middle East. I can hear the alarms going off in people's minds right now when they read the words "Africa" and "Middle East." The countries undergo a very rigorous qualification process to get it approved to have Peace Corp volunteers in their country. Normally that process takes 3-5 years. As of now, there are only 2 countries in that region that the Peace Corp is sending volunteers to...Morocco and Jordan.

Kim and I are so excited to finally hear some more news on what we might be doing and where we might be going. I have so many emotions going through my mind right now. Joy, anticipation, anxiousness, and absolute terror! I am more scared about this than I have ever been about anything in my life.

I am very sure of what we are doing, because for some time Kim and I have wanted to do something big, something outside of the box. I think the fear is kind of like when I got married; fear of the unexpected or unknown. Right now I am trying to learn a little bit about the countries we could be going to. Learn more with us and share in our excitement: Morocco and Jordan.
