this month has been a whirlwind. I am currently on a plane to Providence to visit family, which I am very excited about. last week was my last week at work and it was harder than expected, I woke up monday morning expecting to go to work but I didn't have a job to go to. For the past two years I could not have worked for a better organization serving the homeless community of Chattanooga. It didn't feel like I was leaving “just a job”, I was leaving friends and family, people that I would not have crossed paths with if it wasn't for the Community Kitchen and I am beyond grateful for such an amazing experience and being able to be a part of the family.
In other news, in exactly one week from today I will be on a plane to Guatemala. I almost cant believe it. THe preparation has been overwhelming- packing, paperwork, saying goodbyes ( which I am terrible at doing). Packing is a headache in itself, making sure I have everything I need for 2 years in 2 bags less than 80lbs and I am infamous for overpacking. AlthoughI had my bags weighed and i was only 7lbs over and i still have items that need to be purchased. I am going to try my best to reorganize my bags because I have no clue what is in which bag and I have a feeling I never will... Overall, I am anxious and excited to begin this journey. Providence >Philly>NY>MIA>Guatemala!
