Anne and I were serving as Volunteers in the Peace Corps. This blog is a way to share some of our experiences through these life changing adventures.

WhoooHooo! We got Rosetta Stone access today. How fun! I got 94% in the first lesson and that was without understanding how it works. Boy did we need it! Guess I'll quit while I'm ahead!
Our children gave us a quilt before we left. Andy and Kerry made a block with a quote for each of the 27 months we will be gone and I thought it would be a good idea to post them on our blog.
6. "Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action." Benjamin Disraeli
5. "The world is more malleable than you think and it is waiting for you to hammer it into shape" Bono
4. " If you don't act now while it's fresh in your mind, it will probably join the list of things you were always going to do but never got around to. Chances are you will also miss some opportunities."Paul Clitheroe
3. "Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there is no action, you have not truly decided." Anthony Robbins
2. "You've got to seize the opportunity if it is presented to you." Clive Davis
1. "One of the great moments in my lifetime among educated people is the need to commit themselves to action. Most people are not satisfied with giving money, we also feel we need to work" Peter Drucker
