Why read this?

This blog is for my family and friends to keep up to date about my happenings while I am away for two years in Africa. I know my mom, for one, is probably super confused by the whole blogging thing but blogs are an easier and less time consuming way to stay connected than sending mass e-mails to everyone. I will try to post as often as I can while in Africa but that still may be sporadically because of my distance from reliable internet connections. But I will do my best.

Until I leave I will try and get this thing up an running and updated with information about my departure as soon as I hear it from Peace Corps!

Love ya all and thanks for all the contniued support!

Waiting to hear.........

I am still waiting to hear from Peace Corps Placement Office about what community and what country I will be assigned. I know that I am leaving between the dates of July 4-15, 2006 but still have no inlking of where in the gigantic continenet of Africa I will be living for two years. Kind of makes it hard to plan. Will let you all know when I know!
