Ultimate Update of a Lifetime

Guessss whaaaaatttttt!!!!!!!

yes, these are my crazy eyes.

During November 2010 I applied for the Peace Corps

After the loooonnngg application process I finally received my invitation to become a Health Development Volunteer. I will be spending the next 2 years and 3 months of my life in Burkina Faso.

I leave October 9, 2011!! (10 days)

I am currently preparing myself for my travels by:

• brushing up on my french
• freaking out a little bit
• buying essentials 
• spending a crazy amount of time with my family
• kissing my American lifestyle goodbye (for awhile)

Hopefully closer to my departure I will post my final packing list. So look out for that.

Also, when I get it I will post my Burkinabe address and phone # on the side bar. If you want you can send me your address/email so I can send letters and stuff to you. =]
