I am officially 30 days away from leaving for the Peace Corps. I almost can't believe it. The past few weeks have been very busy for me, traveling and visiting with friends and family, most of which I will not see until I return. Last night mom and the ladies from the church hosted a going away shower for me when you typically think shower, your thinking wedding or baby, nope not for me. Although some people would hope. In all it was great, everybody asked questions, we ate Spanish food and I got some much needed necessities (skittles, Swiss army knife, duct tape, etc). The biggest surprise was a visit from my dad, I am not big on surprises, so it caught me off guard. Sobbing in his shoulder, that was when I came to the realization I was leaving the comforts of home for 27 months and that I was a big daddy's girl.
Aside from all the fun I have been having and finishing things up at work, I really need to get my behind in gear because I haven't packed anything. All I have is lists spread around my room, purse and any where else I can manage to put a sticky note. Wish me luck!
