So, this is my first blog. I promised everyone I would create a blog to detail my adventures in the Peace Corps, so here it is. I can't believe leave in less than two weeks. It was a over a year ago I put in my application for the Peace Corps, then there was the interview, the medical and dental forms, and finally my invitation to the Peace Corps which arrived in April. It has been such a long process. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I finally bought some luggage, who knows if it will be the best type of luggage, but you live and learn right?
I have kept myself busy this summer visiting all my friends and family who I will not see during my time in the Peace Corps. It has been a great summer full of wonderful adventures in the US before I head over seas. I spent a week with my aunt in Waco, Texas. We went to Austin and San Antonio. Then I spent a week with my grandparents in NJ. My grandmother took my mom, aunt and I to NYC where we spent the night in Times Square and saw Lion King on Broadway! I also went on a two week road trip. We went to Chicago, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, Salt Lake City, Denver, and St. Louis. It was a trip I will not soon forget.
