I sold our beloved home of 30 years on April 16, 2018. This was a sad day and a happy day. Sad because it represents an end to the best years of my life up to this point and happy because it represents the start of fulfilling a life-long dream.
The journey started on an October morning last year when I was scanning the Peace Corps website. I had a habit of doing this every 3-4 months in hopes and preparation for actually applying one day. Secondary Math Teacher in Namibia was the first position I saw and it was so appealing that I decided to apply, right then and there. The gist of it is that I was invited to serve and received my legal and medical clearances in April.
I depart on August 13 to train and serve two years in the Peace Corps as a Secondary Math Teacher in Namibia. I will use this blog to document my Peace Corps service, my adventures, my highs and my lows and also to keep in touch with my friends and family.
