Prep Time







Well everyone here I am with my first blog. I think setting up a new blog is more intimidating than leaving the country for two years. But here I am preparing both. I am two weeks away from my departure for Philly where I will meet all the other Botswana Peace Corps volunteers. I am just hoping that they too are a little bit nervous, anxious, scared and mostly excited. I will spend three days in Philly then we are all of on the 17 hour flight to South Africa. I will eventually make the bus ride to Botswana where I will meet my host family whom I will be living with for the next three months. I don't know all the specifics of what to expect. I do know that I have been awaiting this opportunity for so long and I can't wait to live out my dream to live in Africa! I have been so blessed this past month to have special time to spend with friends and family. I have gone on road trips, out to countless dinners and to many concerts. I will cherish all these memories while I am gone and am very thankful to have all these special people apart of my life. You all too will be with me in Botswana sharing with all my new adventures. So despite a few more trips to Target I feel ready. I know everything in my life has prepared me for this exact moment. I look forward to keeping you all updated as frequently as possible. But it is Africa so I cannot make any promises to the consistency of thechnology and electricity.
Untill next time.
Peace!
