Saying Goodbye… kind of
So, a lot of things have been going on since the other thing happened, and actually my life is going great. I have learned how truly awesome my friends are and have made new ones. This past week though has been about my COS conference. You may ask, now don’t you have three and a [...]
Ending at the Beginnning
I am ending my Peace Corps service in July. And it’s the end of March, seems so crazy, with all the ups and downs and lefts and rights that everything has gone through. This weekend I am going to my Close of Service Conference and instead of meeting 85 volunteers and two the next morning, [...]
The Good and the Bad

Series of Life Markers
I have come to realize how much life is a series of markers that show the passage of time. Yesterday was my parents anniversary. In Peace Corps those markers also mark the passage of your service. When you join the Peace Corps that means you agree to give 27 months of your life to a [...]
