Just waiting for July!

Just a few introductions. . . we are a married couple leaving for Peace Corps service at the beginning of July. We are both in our late twenties. Currently, I teach high school biology and Wayne is a GIS/RIS Specialist. We live in coastal North Carolina. Mostly, we are VERY excited about leaving for Jamaica!!!
We started the Peace Corps (PC) application process last June. For those of you that aren't aware, there is a ton of paperwork involved with PC acceptance. We were nominated for the Caribbean in August and worked to get all that paperwork done for a good 6 months. We finally received our invitation (means everything is official) in late February. That is when we found out that we would be serving in Jamaica. I will be under the heading of Environmental Promoter and Wayne is under Community Forestry Advisor. We only have very vague job descriptions at this point and will not find out more until a few weeks into training. We will not find out exactly where in Jamaica we will be until sometime in August.
We hope to keep this blog up to date with our current progress and once we get to Jamaica, exciting stories of our service!
