Me?! I'm going to Africa???

The day has finally come! I got the phone call from my placement officer yesterday that I've been invited and that I will get it by mail hopefully on Monday or Tuesday. I will be getting an envelope that tells me exactly where, when, more specifics on the assignment, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I truly have so much to be thankful for, aside from receiving something I've been waiting over a year for. I have an awesome family who supports me and a wonderful, healthy nephew whom we get to spend more time with.

More updates to follow soon!

Countdown


18 days until AUSTRALIAAAA and I get to see my wonderful friend Jessica Newlin!
Am I getting excited yet? YES! I can't believe it's been almost a year since we've seen each other. I just keep dreaming of dingoes and Hillsong...
HOWEVER, I still haven't heard much from the Peace Corps, other than that I know for sure that my Placement Officer has my file which is a good sign. So, I have no idea whether or not I will be hearing from them before I leave. Arghhh
But God is still in control and I know that I have so much to be thankful for. Hm... a good reminder for this upcoming holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
