FINALLY!

I am overwhelmed.

I have never felt so much joy or gratitude. (or so many butterflies.)

After an arduous application process that lasted nearly a year, I received an invitation to serve with the Peace Corps this morning. If I accept (baha!), my journey will begin at staging on July 7, 2010 and will last (at least) until 2012.

I have been invited (as you can see below) to serve in Niger, a landlocked country in West Africa, in education.




Thank you to my family and friends for your unconditional support throughout this process. I hope you will continue to follow my progress over the next two years; you are my world.
