Hello blogging world, it's been a while!

So it definitely has been a while, a couple years really.  I thought I'd try and get into the habit of blogging since I think that might be my only way of communicating to the most of my family and friends here at home for a few years. 

Why, you may ask... well, to make a long story short, my life will hopefully be changing a LOT for the next three or so years. 

I started blogging in, I believe, 2008 because my sisters had the cutest blogs and I loved reading about their lives (even though I see them all the time).  I liked seeing the comments from our extended family and that they were able to get a glimpse into all of our lives here in Southern California. 
Well here is a quick glimpse into the past two years of my life. 

2008-
June- Graduated from college
June- Moved back home
August- Went to Honduras with Sandals Church
October- Got a seasonal job at Kohl's as a POS and rocked the position
December- Got another job at Odyssey Health Care as the receptionist and rock that position even more!

2009-
Nothing really new
Still working at Odyssey as the receptionist
Applied for a few positions within the company but the time wasn't right
August- Moved out of my parents house into a cute little apt with a friend from church
-Applied to go to Uganda with church and got invited to join the team!  Woohoo

2010-
March- Went to Gulu, Uganda with Sandals Church to visit Favor of God Ministries
June- Decided I want to join the Peace Corps
July- Submitted my application
August- Volunteered as a camp counselor for Pipeline (elementary Sunday school) for a week
September- Interviewed by phone and nominated to serve in the Peace Corps in Sub-Saharan Africa doing Business Advising departing late May/early June of 2011!
November- I turned 25!
-Completed and sent in my medical and dental evaluations
-just received a request for new dental x-rays to be completed and am waiting patiently while the rest of my paperwork is being reviewed.

Surprise!
I'm joining the Peace Corps!
I will hopefully be moving to Africa and this will be where you can hear about my adventures!

Please pray for me in the coming months that everything goes smoothly, that I have patience in waiting and in my current job, that God prepares my heart for the incredible adventure of life I am about to embark on! 

Love you all!
