It's Been a While

Well it has been a while hasn't it. There is a slight reason for this...We are back in America for now. A few months back (close to beginning of February) we discovered that we were going to have a baby! Yes Tanie is pregnant! Peace Corps has a policy in Morocco that if you become pregnant then you will be medically separated. Since I am the husband I was forced to ET. There was some slight sadness from myself but also joy. The joy stems from new life that is upon us. due date is October 10th.

We left Morocco the beginning of March (just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps). We are now currently living in our hometown with her family. We have been very blessed that Tanie has already found a job in the business field. I on the other hand Tanie's have not found a job just yet. I am looking daily for something that will fit my needs.

Adjusting to the States was a little easier than I expected. There were many things which are strangely different from the land of Morocco. Still to this day I still think and dream sometimes in Arabic and miss speaking the language the most. I also will miss the PCV's which I had the great opportunity to serve with. Though we were quite different from each other we got a long quite well. Thanks for making my experience a good one and inchallah we see each other at a corny reunion some day.
