I really am leaving... I swear

This morning the Peace Corps called and I'm officially invited to Ghana, West Africa.

I depart September 15 and I'm so excited. I plan to continue assisting with hurricane recovery at Volunteer's of America through August.

After nearly a year of trudging through the application process and learning so much about myself, my dream to travel and be of service has only increased.

I look forward to spending time with as many people as I can before I go. I'm definitely ready to embark, I've rented my home and given away everything that I don't really love. I have felt more freedom than ever before in my entire life. Thanks everyone for being so supportive.
