AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Now that I got the yelling, screaming, and dancing out of my system (for now), I am happy to say that....

MY INVITATION IS IN THE MAIL!!!

I will be leaving on April 1st for Africaaaaa! (Yes, we all know that this departure date means Botswana and I am THRILLED!) My invitation has changed from original nomination of Business Development to NGO Development but my Placement Specialist said that this position is a "perfect fit" for me! I could not be more excited right now! (Excuse me while I go back to doing a happy dance... more later!)

  1. OK...WOW and all those emotions!....but my stomach is dancing, or is it in knots? Sometimes it's hard to know the difference. Guess it's partly out of excitement and partly out of OMG, my daughter is really going into the PC. I'm so proud of you Tija and so happy for the next step in your life's journey.

    Time to plan our party!!! I love you so much and already miss you. Mom
