Adventures of a tall girl married to a short boy
Every Sunday on our way to and from church, we walk through Madison Square Park where there is a sizeable dog park. Jason has quite a soft-spot for dogs and so we watch them for a while, entertaining ourselves with how all the different dogs interact with each other. We poke fun at some, admire others and often wonder what in the world possesses a person to keep some of the enormous animals we see there inside a tiny NYC apartment.
We first met in 2006. We'd both quit our jobs and gotten rid of nearly all our possessions to join the Peace Corps. We were headed to the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. We thought we were prepared for whatever lay ahead, but neither of us had a clue.
In just over 10 months, we were MARRIED!
Since then our adventures have included:
- a year in New York City, living in a Harlem brownstone apartment
- going off-the-grid & into a tent-cabin on tiny Angaur island in Palau
- living with a bunch of teenagers in Shanghai, China while working as dormitory parents
- off-the-grid again & into a barn on 400 forested acres in Vermont
- at the base of volcanos in beautiful Panajachel, Guatemala
- 3 years in North Idaho working on a new career path
And now post career change, we find ourselves in S. Dakota (of all places!!!)
We love to experience this great big world and hope you will join us for the journey!
-- Jason and Carrie
