here I am, here I go...

Hello! Hi from Minneapolis, MN in my sister's lovely house! Welcome to my "blog". I hope to keep you all updated on my life...this being one of the ways I can do that. For those who don't know already, I will be heading to Senegal, West Africa in less than a month with the Peace Corps. I will be a part of the agro-forestry program. In other words, I will be working with farmers to reforest the area by growing tree nurseries, planting trees, etc. I am VERY excited, a little nervous, and feel as if my date of departure is surreal but coming so quickly! I wanted to keep you all in the loop, So here is my blog, hope you enjoy!
