19 Days to go!

Update-
Yay...19 days to go! I received my staging kit and found out that staging is in DC. I booked my flight from LAX today, and I get to DC a day early, which is fine by me. Why LAX you ask? Well it looks like I am taking that road-trip trip to CA after all...I'm so excited! Both Tammy and I have quit our jobs and have no apartments... we are out!

I also have instructions from the Peace Corps for family and friends about sending packages and such:

Jennifer Goode
Cuerpo de Paz
Avenida Bolivar 451, Gazcue
Apartado 1412
Santa Domingo
Dominican Republic

Visiting me:

I want people to visit me! But you can't in the first three months of training, so any time after December would be fabulous.

Me leaving:
I can't for 6 months (3 months of training and 3 months of service)...just in time to see Jessica's baby!

So that's that, and that's it for now.

Goodbye Boston...

I'm leaving Boston, for a week in Georgia with the fam, then Orlando and Tampa...and possibly a road trip to Cali. Then it's the Dominican Republic! It looks as if this week is super busy but I want to try to see everyone before I leave, so if you want to get together let me know asap.

I can't believe I applied to the Peace Corps over a year ago and now I only have one month left until I leave...crazy!

Why Blog?

I'm starting this blog to keep up-t0-date with my family and friends for when I'll be in the Peace Corps Dominican Republic for 27 months...yay! I've never really "blogged" before so this might take some getting used to.

Anyway my ASSIGNMENT is:
