Brian and Kristy

The disproportionate amount of interest in the activities of the Humphreys has always been a mystery worth contemplating. Why the fascination? What drives a person to seek out the details of every coffee date we plan, every trip we take, every adventure we embrace? We will leave those difficult questions for you, the reader, to ponder as we whole-heartedly dive into the Unknown of accepting somewhat last-minute Peace Corps assignments in the Dominican Republic.

Kristy and I will be foolishly releasing our present jobs back into the wild to be plucked by desperate job seekers in order to become a Youth Development Promoter and Community Economic Advisor respectively. We are simultaneously excited and anxious, ready to finally tackle the challenge of international development work while mildly dreading the sustained effort required to successfully achieve language, cultural, and technical competency standards during training. When we got engaged, we discussed spending two years of the first five of our marriage abroad, and of course the opportunity has come about when we least expected it. It has been a long road pursuing this dream, and we are sad to part with our predictable and comfortable life that we love, but on August 18^th we are finally departing for our 27 month assignment…just in time to spend our third anniversary in the Caribbean.

So please follow along for the next two years and we will try to sustain your unquenchable curiosity by posting whenever our limited access to the Internet allows us.
