If You've Got an Impulse Let it Out!

So Peace Corps Headquarters must have read my blog I published last night. No sooner than five hours after I posted it I recieved an email saying that my Peace Corps status has been updated. When I checked it said I had been invited to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer!!!!!!!!! I honestly have not felt so happy/excited/accomplished since I got my acceptance letter from the University of Florida five years ago. Now the waiting game and mail man stalking begins, waiting for the coveted FedEx envelope which will tell me the exact country and leave date. I have a strong feeling it will be either Kenya (Nov 2nd) or Lesotho (Nov 10th). Either way it leaves about 3 months left in the States. So much work to do... money to save, one last bill to pay off, friends and family to see, job to quit, and supplies to buy.
Thanks everyone for your support and if you have any questions about the process let me know. I'll post a blog in a few days when I get the information in the mail. From what I hear there is still a bunch of paperwork to fill out and visas/passport to acquire!
