مرحبا from the BEAUTIFUL Kingdom of Jordan! Peace Corps LDR.
Hello all! My name is Carrie. I am currently serving as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in the Karak region of Jordan. It's truly a beautiful place and I am very excited for the next 2 years of my service. I left my SO at home though :-(
Thomas and I met in Augusta, Georgia in 2010 during college (Poli Sci FTW!) and instantly clicked as friends. We did a lot of travelling together and by my senior year (I am 2 years older and was one year ahead in school) we were pretty inseparable.
I left for grad school in June 2012. I did a MA of International Relations through Webster University's Global MA program (5 countries in 11 months). He came to visit me while I was living in London and we did London, Paris, and the Harry Potter Studio Tours together. It was around that time that things changed for us (I mean, who WOULDN'T fall in love over Harry Potter??) - but we were still "just friends".
I got home in August 2013, and he left to go teach in the Republic of Georgia for a year at the end of August. He came home for Christmas and made a visit to see me (I was living back in Minnesota again with my family). After he got back to the Republic of Georgia, things got really bad for us and we didn't speak to each other for several months.
We started speaking again before he got home though. We saw each other again in September when I went to visit my dad in Georgia. That's when we laid everything out that had been happening with us the last few years.
We're pretty bad at this timing thing because a month after finally admitting that we love each other I was headed to Jordan for my Peace Corps service (To be fair - it was really his fault though - he waited too long! I had always been clear how I felt! ;-D)
So, I didn't expect it but I find myself in a Peace Corps LDR. TJ is back in Georgia (state, not country) as he had a self awakening and decided to pursue is dream of getting an engineering degree. Yes, I know the statistics work against us - but we've done pretty okay when we *weren't trying*.

How long have you been in Jordan for now?
I've heard of Augusta though didn't really know where it was until you made mention of it in your above post. I can speak fluent Welsh; I've lived here all my life, though I was born in Nottingham in England.
