A little over a month to go

It’s been a long time to get to this point, but as of June 16^th, it will be USA to Ecuador.

I will be leaving to serve in the Peace Corps in a little over a month, and I couldn’t be more excited. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on about Ecuador. Been trying to get myself motivated to review Spanish grammar and vocabulary…I’m sure, however, I will wish I had spent more time on this when I get to Ecuador.

My biggest concern right now is figuring out how to pack for two years in two suitcases. I have been able to get some nice discounts at certain stores as a future Peace Corps volunteer. Chacos for half price, I can’t complain. Definitely worth checking out!

I am also looking to sell my car. Anyone who knows someone who is looking to buy a good little reliable Toyota Corolla let me know! It has served me well, and I am sad to see it go.

May is looking to be a busy month. May 9th-11^th, I’ll be taking a trip to Texas to visit dear friends, Ariana and Matt. I’ve never been to the legendary Lone Star state, but I can’t wait! My little sister goes to prom May 17^th and then graduates from high school May 27^th…..where did the time go? She is all grown up, and I am so proud of her! Last week in May, family trip to Florida…Disney World and relaxing at the beach. I’ve got a lot of things to look forward to. My goal is to spend as much time as I can with friends and family before I leave!

So, this blog will be an online chronicle of my 27 month experience in the Peace Corps. It will be nice to keep my friends and family updated on my life, and I hope they will repay the favor and let me know how life is going in the States. I will do my best to update as often as I can. Looking forward to reading your comments!
