Jon and I heard back from Peace Corps last week. We were offered a position to teach English at a University in Asia. While we know this important work, it is not what we want to do for 2+ years. Our liaison will go back to the committee to see if they can offer us something else, but in all likelihood it will be too late to resign/take leave from our jobs for us to consider doing it next year.
I am disappointed that this didn't pan out at this time; I didn't really consider that they wouldn't find something in our areas of interest. I am getting excited about possibilities for the years ahead though. We will probably stick around here for a few years and then look into doing MCC. We're looking forward our next adventure (even if it is around these parts). We'll let you know when we figure out what that is.

Sorry it didn't work out like you were hoping! That would be disappointing.
Those of us nearby, however, won't be disappointed if you're nearby for a while longer!
Really sorry it didn't work out differently. Bummer.
When are you having babies since you aren't going to the Peace Corps.?
crazy how plans take a turn sometimes, isn't it? we are definitely bummed for you - but happy for us that we get to see you so much more this summer!
