I finally did it and set-up my blog(blaaaaaaaaaaaag)! Wahoo!
Today is August 7th and I leave August 31st for my Peace Corps service in Nicaragua where I will be teaching environmental education. Which means I have 24 days left before my 27 month challenge. It seems like a long time right now but I'm know time will fly while I'm there. I can't wait to get started! Surprisingly I'm not nervous yet, just overwhelmed with the millions of things that I need to do before I leave for 2 years, no big deal. However, I'm sure the nerves will be creeping up on me as the days dwindle down. I can't say the same for my family and friends who are all so inquisitive about the details but usually at least one of them ends in tears. My mom just told me she cried while in Sam's club when she went down the dried fruit aisle (my weakness and definitely will be missed). Yet, everyone has been very supportive and eager to hear the details even through their tears.
My goal with this blog is to tell the tales of my journey to those interested at home. I can't guarantee perfect grammar or comical posts but I'm sure there will be some interesting tales.

Hey Kiddo,
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your going away party. I have been very busy with some of the new positions I have taken on. I just wanted to thank you for taking a part of your life serving others. We are all proud of you. Please let me know if you need anything I know people who travel to Nicaragua regularly. Who knows you might even see me down there sometime. Good luck, God Bless, and remember if you need anything just let me know.
