16 days

16 days til everything i've prepared for becomes a reality. After a TON of changes in my life in the past year, over 9 months ago since I first applied for the peace corps, it's here. I didn't expect anything to happen that has happened in this past year, but I can't even begin to imagine what's going to happen in the next couple of years. I'm very excited, anxious to get going, but sad at the same time knowning what i'm leaving behind. Be sure to keep in touch. Email me, send me letters and send me pictures!

Just a side note, I've added links to a couple charities that I really believe in. There are tons out there. Pick your own and help out. Donate Time, Donate items, donate money. Anything will help whatever your cause is. Remember that "Making a small change in your own life can make an incredible change in someone else's. It can actually save a life. "
