Slight Panic Mode!

Well, the date is getting closer! In less than a week I will be on my way to the next 27 month stage of my life- in a third world country! Definitely a bit different than what I would have pictured a few years ago (like maybe a nice corporate job in a big US city with cute little apartment)- but I can't wait, even if there are plenty of mosquitoes and 80% humidity waiting for me. The last days here are going to be super hectic and stressful, and of course will be very emotional (anyone who knows me is I'm sure expecting lots of tears!), and I'm sure will be filled with lots of visits and dinners. For some reason when you leave the country for excessive amounts of time, everyone wants to take you out to eat(which I L O V E)- I'm on my 12th day in a row of eating out with someone that I won't see for a while! Maybe it's the concern that I will be eating mostly rice with a few veggies for the next few years that makes people want to feed me pizza and country fried steak (delish). Ok- enough for my first post- I am officially a 'blogger!'
