The Invite!

I got my official invite in the mail on Monday and called to accpet it today. I'll be headed to Peru to work with Youth Development as a Special Education Trainer. I report to staging June 4th and head to Lima on the 6th. After a nearly 2 year wait since application, I am elated to finally have my assignment and have it all official. I'm ready for this next adventure in my life, but sad to be saying goodbye to the wonderful people I've worked with over the past 2 years and know it will be rough saying goodbye to my student.  BUT, that's partially why there's this blog.. to keep in touch with everyone- friends, family, and coworkers. You've all supported me in various stages of the long process and I'd like to repay you by keeping you up to date with what's going on in my life as a Peace Corps volunteer. And then I can also be kept up to date with what's going on stateside!
