Today marks the hourly countdown to my take off half way across the world. In 12 hours, my entire world will shift and for the next five months I will say good-bye to all that I know. Am I excited? Absolutely. Am I ready? Well, my bags are packed. Am I prepared? Hmm... Can't answer that. I know nothing that awaits me, nothing I can expect, there's nothing I can even imagine. My heart is prepared, yes. I am thrilled to see what lies before me and the impact and changes I am to experience because of this time.
The bags are packed (and filled to the maximum possible weight limit!) and I am tired of preparations and ready to just be on the airplane, or maybe just be there - skip the 24hr trip...
As I turn my eyes to a new horizon, I keep a part of me here... I can't help it :)

Monica! First off, I wanted to thank you for the lovely card that you sent me for MY journey with the Peace Corps in the DR! Things are going wonderfully here and I couldn't be happier! Secondly, you are going to have a great time abroad, just make sure to go outside your comfort zone, it will make things so much more interesting and worthwhile. Lastly, have fun! You will love it! It's a once in a lifetime experience (unless you do the Peace Corps hahah)
