Well, one of the volunteers, a Ms. Kellie who had the pleasure of being in my village during training has been taken. Yes, she was victim to a predator that is always lurking when new volunteers come into country, like a succulent lamb to a starved lion, she didn't have a chance. As soon as the preying laid eyes on her it was all over. Kellie is now engaged to Craig, a fellow volunteer whom she met less than 7 months ago. Oh, this Peace Corps cult, it is something.
To their credit, they're made for each other.
Good luck to them, but I'm still wearing my Peace Corps garlic necklace. I don't envisage a girlfriend, yet alone a wife anytime in the near future.

Glad to see someone enjoying their position in life...
I hated being single and am glad that I am now happily married (11years as of Saturday btw)
It is true blessing when you can be enjoy and be satisfied with your present (rather than seeking something different or more, or lamenting things past)

I can wait for that time brother. It will be a blessing. But for now, I'm going to resist!
I'm serious about enjoying where you are in life (in your present state) I'm glad you are doing that right now, whats to resist? it happens when it happens, meanwhile enjoy where your at...not worrying about past or future too much [where have I heard that before-hmmm...]
