One Week Till Take Off!

Dearest loved ones,

After a year of paperwork, medical exams, stalking the mailman, and waiting waiting waiting I've finally received my placement with the Peace Corps. I will be leaving for Atlanta on Tuesday, June 17th for staging, then to Dakar, Senegal where I'll be taking a bus to my new home, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania! Thanks for all your support and encouragement as I embark on this exciting adventure.
