Times, they are a changin'

So I have officially sent in my letter of resignation and my last day of work will be August 5th, woohoo!
-That's only 9 work days away! :)

I also received my staging information last week and booked my flight to Philadelphia, PA!  I leave the 20th and we for Namibia on the 22nd!
-That's only 26 days until staging and 28 days until the flight to Namibia!

I cannot believe how fast time is flying by.  I have so much to do but feel like I cant really do all that much until after I am done with work.

I will be selling my car Sandie.  She's in great shape and needs a loving home.  She is a 2005 Honda Civic LX, a sandy gold color (hence the name), and has about 90,000 miles under her hood. 
This is Sandie with her friend Skelly.  Skelly was visiting last October and she and Sandie totally hit it off.  :)
She is currently for sale.

On another note, I am currently preparing/consolidating all of my stuff in my apartment to move back home into the attic.  My stuff, not me! :)  I'll probably share a room with either my sister or my niece. 

I also have my going away party coming up and am so excited to see some of my favorite people there!

Since I began preparing to leave I have been trying to do as much fun stuff as possible.  I think I have been pretty successful!
- Went white water rafting for a week on the American River.  AWESOME!
- Did a mud run.  Crazy tough and dirty, but so fun!
- Spent the day at the beach with my second family, the Rich's.
- Went to the Orange County Fair.  Ate fried food and bought some super funky but cute shades.  Lets just say they will be going to Namibia and people will be jealous of how cute they are.  hahaha.

I've probably done more but those are my highlights for right now. 

Hope you are having a blessed week!  :)

Namibia?

So I have done a fair amount of looking around and haven't found anybody going to Namibia (except for one :)) in the blogging world? 

Anyone out there going to Namibia in August with me?  Or is it just the two of us?

Just thought I'd throw it out there.  :)

Namibia, here I come!



Ahhhh... My invite has finally come and I have officially accepted.

It arrived last Monday while I was up in Nor Cal White Water Rafting for the week.  My roommate called me Monday night and told me it had arrived, I was bummed but super stoked it finally arrived!

Friday night when I arrived home my parents, brother, and sister were all there to watch the opening of the Big Blue Packet, otherwise known as the INVITE!

We were right about Namibia!  I will be working as a business advisor in the SEED (Small Enterprise & Entrepreneurship Development) program.  The program began in 2010 so it is a fairly new program.  :)

Mom was so excited she made me pose for a photo.

I leave for Washington DC on August 18th and will travel to Namibia on August 21st.

For those who know me we will be having a going away party!  Email or Facebook me for details, I'd love to see you before I leave!
