Okay, here it goes. A little while back Kelly and I started talking about the Peace Corps. It had been a dream of hers to join the Peace Corps since she was young and I had toyed with the idea myself since getting out of the military. So we thought what the hell, lets see where an application will lead us.
We passed the application and health checks and waited and waited. We did some more volunteering and waited and waited. We took some Spanish classes and waited and waited. Then… BANG here is your assignment and your projects be ready to leave the country by the 30th of April.
That was probably a little dramatic, but it feels really really soon. So we are getting ready to start the marathon. Step 1. Freak out a little. Step 2. We need to develop a plan as to what to do with our stuff. Step 3. We need to find out what it is we have to pack for a two year adventure. Step 4. Dive in head first and see where this takes us.
So far we are just at step one and I feel the clock ticking. Hopefully we will be able to get all of this done and not stress out too much right before we go. I suppose overall we are just so excited that this is happening.
PS. Does anyone have a backpack that they could recommend for an adventure like this?
