Lucky Girl.

Wow, I'm really impressed with the turnout on comments! All time record :) Yes, Bulgaria is my first choice because of the orphanage. I think that would be so rewarding. Thinking back years ago I don't know if this option for my future would have ever been present, I'm just so blessed to have a boyfriend who brings out sides of me that otherwise probably would have never been found. It was my idea to join the peace corps, but I'm so lucky that my boyfriend finds such a passionate calling for it as well. Honestly there aren't a lot of men out there that would react the way he did: Me:"I just really want to go into the peace corps and do something bigger."
Colb: "Absolutely let's go."

And the rest is history.

On another note: I would really love to go to Africa, but Colby isn't as thrilled with that idea, simply because Africa holds 70% of the worlds Aids disease and the rape count is very high. So odds are that we're not going there.

There are certain dangers that i'm willing to accept that come along with volunteering for the peace corps, and there are some that I feel that I am not willing to accept. Morocco would be just fine, but I'd prefer to not wind up in the Sub Saharan part of Africa.
Love, Colb

Hey Char, I like you would go to africa, I watch O. Winfrey and I would love to go over there and show love and kindness to those poor children w/aids.YES I CAN SHOW LOVE AND KINDNESS TO CHILDREN, JUST NOT THE ONES I HAVE TO SEE EVERY FRI & SAT NIGHTS. and most of those kids are all alone w/no family left, We would never start to understand what they go through. I am NOT scared to work around people w/aids, after all I have been thru and the older I get The more brave I am. Oh hell just buy me a ticket and lets go. Love ya, MARK P.S. This Blog shit is fun.

When my sons were young, I prayed that they would have a stewards heart. I also prayed for them to find a mate that would share the same. I know your post is lucky girl, but I am sure colby is a lucky guy. My heart overflows with love and pride for you and colb. It would be a blessing to have grandchildren from different areas of the world.
Love you big as the world Char
