My Adventure Begins

Tomorrow I will fly out of Madison to begin my Peace Corps journey.

Thank you to everyone who has offered support, encouragement and positive words...I feel so blessed!  You all mean so very much, Thank you!

I know the next 27 months will be life changing and a whole new experience.  I am unsure exactly what this adventure will hold, but know it will be unforgettable!

Please check up on my blog whenever you have the chance, I will try to post as often as possible.  That may mean every few months, but I will keep posting!  Become a follower or add your email for updates over on the right side of this screen!  Then you'll always know when I post something new. 

If anyone would like to send snail mail, my current address is also over on the right sidebar.  Write anytime and I will try to return letters as well! 

I am all packed and everything is by the door.  Tomorrow will come surely, and just as soon as all my baby calves are fed and the calf huts are bedded (yes, I will be doing this before I leave), I will be en route with my wonderful family to the start of a once in a lifetime experience! 

Come join the adventure with me!!

Days Go By

Who else remembers it just being January and the cold temperatures were keeping us indoors and the snow was beautifully covering the ground?  Maybe you remember February with Valentine's Day and the prospect of Spring just around the corner.

Its just nearly unbelievable to me that half of this year is already behind us. 

The first six months of 2012 were not filled with too many events or activities or crazy happenings, but it was full none the less! 

I had several wonderful friends visit during January and even had the chance to go sledding!  February was going to a Spaghetti Supper and get ready for all the new babies coming.  March thru May was filled with so many new Jersey babies that not much else was on the agenda!  Of course, I did learn my Peace Corps placement in March and so that was always on my mind.

June came and with it came lots of warm weather.  Along with the temperatures rising and my skin turner darker, my mind was on Peace Corps.  I worked on some last paperwork and started putting toether the gear, clothes, and other supplies I'll need in Zambia.

And now it is July 1st.  Already halfway thru this year.  With a not too eventful first half, I feel as though the next 6 months will surely bring a whirlwind of adventures that will even outdo many of my experiences from the last twenty-some years! 

I wish you all a Happy July 4th.  I hope everyone is staying healthy and cool.  Have a great rest of 2012!
