so we decided...

a long, long time ago in a city far away...

little ten year old kate decided she loved a certain president. said president was handsome, noble, of good lineage, and also dead.

luckily, before he was shot, wonderful idyllic president created a wonderful program that she just HAD to join some day.

and thus began my desire to join the peace corps.

chris and i have both long desired to join the peace corps.  when we first met, this mutual interest was just one of many shared ideals that brought us quickly together.

now, three months after our marriage, we've hemmed and hawed long enough. it's time to apply.

after going back and forth for two months, tossing around this year, or next year, one year married, or two years married, we're jumping in feet first.

doing is scary.

not doing is terrifying.

last night, at 12:21 am eastern, we clicked submit on our applications.  that sucker is long and definitely created to ensure you REALLY want to do this.

ten minutes later, our health survey was also submitted.   we celebrated, and then went to bed.  we had to work today, after all.
