June 21, 2010 AM: Talk with our recruiter after seeing Toolkit back to it's pre-nomination status. She says "there have been some changes to the program" and she had to drop all the couples she had nominated for it. We are un-nominated until she can find somewhere else for us to fit.

May 26, 2010: Call from Alethea. She has a nomination for us - Eastern Europe/Central Asia in April/May 2011 for Secondary English Teachers (TESL/TEFL). We (especially me!) will need to complete 30 hours of some sort of education training or volunteer work.
March 12, 2010: Interview with Alethea in Jacksonville. She is based in the Atlanta office but recommended an in-person interview, and would be traveling for work anyway, so we met her in Jacksonville (halfway between Atlanta and WPB - who knew?!). The interview went great and we had a lot of fun exploring Jacksonville (and eating at Mossfire Grill. Best. Salsa. Ever.) but she was honest about the potentially long waiting period for married applicants.

Feb. 8, 2010: I get fingerprinted at the Jupiter Police Station. They spell my name wrong. Really?!
Feb. 1, 2010: "Deadline" for applications. Later our recruiter would tell us that they operate on a rolling application process but we were naive and got everything in by the 1st. We receive initial paperwork packet, including all legal documents and fingerprint forms.
