Well i went over to Jordan to work on excavating at a Byzantine/Bronze Age tomb complex... and Ammar was also working there too as a Teaching Assistant for all the little University kids from Yarmouk University and University of Arkansas. We worked together, and it took about a week for the flirting to come to anything. Anyway, I was there for 6 weeks, left, went back after a month and a half (I was all what should I do?! Then decide WTH, just go!! Be crazy!!) and we got engaged... then we got married in November about 2 months after that so it took us about 5 months all together from start to finish. I went again for 7 weeks this past May (working again for 5 of those) and stayed with him... then I just went a couple of weeks ago for 10 days. We're becoming pros at the 6 month seperations and hopefully this is the last one.

I met my husband 3 years ago in my first training week in the Peace Corps. He was a private contractor doing a water project in the village where I was doing my language and technical training. We dated for a while and got engaged after about a year or so. We "lived in sin" after that until we finally got married last summer. It was very anti-climatic! We were best friends from day one.

Deeshla, which stage were you in? Was it the March 2004? I might have met you if your training was in Ouarzazate (can't remember if that was the health or environment sector)

I also met my guy in the Peace Corps about 3 1/2 years ago. I lived with his family temporarily when I moved to my assigned town. He was going to school in Erfoud, so I only saw him a few times. He was immediately smitten, but it took me a while (two years!) to end another relationship and see the truth!

Hi Liz! I was in the maternal and child health stage February 2003 but hen we were evacuated when the war started.

I came back in October 2003 for a mini-stage (I believe I stayed with your stage a bit in Fes and we swore in together - I was the one who did the speech in Tamazight). Finished August 2005.

I remember a Liz. Do you have red hair?

Oh ok, I remember you now, but I don't think we ever talked. Don't have red hair though! My best friend in the Peace Corps had red hair though (she marred a Moroccan, and her host brother, too!) We were both in the Khenifra region too, so maybe that's why you got us confused!
