The next two years of my life...

Dear Friends & Family, 

Let me start by saying that I promise to keep this blog as up-to-date as humanly possible, despite the fact that I probably will not have internet on a regular basis. 

"So... what will you be doing now?"
That question could win an award for being the question I hear most often but then, I guess I did just graduate from Baylor. 

I have joined the Peace Corps and on July 3 will be moving to Kyrgyzstan for the next two years and three months. I do not know yet where in the country I will be living or exactly what I will be doing. I do know that my first three months will be a super intense immersion language training in country. I am supposed to be working with the Sustainable Organization and Community Development Program. My understanding is that I will be assigned to a few different non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or community-based organizations but what I will be doing for them EXACTLY is the part that is unknown. 

Right now I am incredibly excited and nervous, especially since this has all happened in the past week and a half. So that is it! That is my life for the next two years.
