Top Ten Finalist!


Hello faithful readers.

As many of you have known for quite some time, Jess is a very talented writer. I believe her to be so talented, in fact, that I hope she will one day write a very successful book series and we will get rich...and I won't have to work.

Today she is one step closer to her goal. About 3 months ago Jess wrote an article for a competition that Peace Corps and National Geographic were having. It was supposed to be about Food Security and how that issue relates to our Peace Corps service.

Well, we just heard that while her story won't be published in National Geographic Magazine, she was chosen as a top 10 finalist! Congrats to her.

If you would like to read the article, as well as others written for the contest, please visit the following link:

Also, we're thinking about you, Mom!

Jess, congrats!! (Matt, I think you'll still need to work.. I don't think writers make a ton of money).

Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks!
