I got an exciting email this morning from the Peace Corps stating that my medical clearance was just passed! Now my paperwork has moved on to whoever makes the final decision about my placement. Everything seems to be moving pretty quickly and it has made me reflect on some of my favorite things.
My family: I survived the snow in Seattle and had a great thanksgiving at home with my family in Mount Vernon. I spent some much needed time with my little sister Caitlin and even took her to the shooting range to teach her how to shoot a gun.
My cat: What in the world is going to happen to my sweet angel of a cat when I leave? Who will be his new family? Well since my parents said no over and over again, I guess that means no. I will continue the search for the perfect semi-permanent home for him, but in the mean time I’m going to enjoy his warm, fluffy, attention loving body until the day I leave.
My boyfriend: Almost two years together and we are faced with what two years apart will look like. We just took our last trip together to the great Island of Jamaica. He’s my best friend and we have been so many amazing places together. I hope to be able to post pictures of us in whatever far away land I end up in.
My friends: I have so many supportive friends who are as anxious as me to find out where I will be living for the next two years. I treasure every time we meet over coffee or margaritas and we talk about where our lives are heading. I love hearing their stories as they are planning for babies and new careers and it makes me think of how far we have all come in the last 5 years. As I’m writing this I’m picturing all of your faces and laughing at all the little moments that I will never forget.
