My mother just dropped me off at the airport. I said goodbye to my dad, my dog Luke, but forgot to say bye to my moms dog Nellie. I am sure I forgot a lot of those. For all those I forgot, or did not have time to say goodbye to, I will see you later! I should arrive in Philly for staging in a couple hours and will be joined by 66 other Peace Corps trainees for a round of shots and a pep talk. We will be bused tomorrow to NYC for our flight to Ghana.
I would like to give a super special shout-out to my sister Carey, her man Joe, and my niece Willow. I will miss you guys and plan to send out more super special shout-outs in the future.
I know how excited you are. This will be a great two years. It will go faster for you than for us. We will miss you.
YES!
