Fate & Life as I know it

Sooo fate is a touchy subject and my belief in it tends to waiver. but for the first time in my life I have this intense feeling that I am in the right place. I am leaving in 27 days on teh biggest journey I have ever gone on and I feel more at peace than I have in a long time. I think I should be freaking out right now but nope, calm, cool and collected. My family has stepped up in major ways to help make this possible and I appreciate you guys more than I could ever put into words.

I am spending my last month here in the states enjoying everthing I want to without inhibition; food, drinks, friends, and family.

Plans before I Leave:
Roller Skating
Melting Pot
Volleyball
Dancing
Drinking Wine
Throwing a Theme Party
Pole Dancing w/ my Girls' Night Girls (should end in amusement and a few bruises)
Karaoke
Biking the Centennial Trail
Hiking Poo Poo Point
Making Ridiculous Signs for Roy's Show
Avoiding the Gym
Laying in Bed ALLLL Day with Trev (God only kows when I will get the chance to lay next to a guy I enjoy again, I shall miss men the most...:) Lies, I will miss you all, you are incredible, please don't forget me.
Make a Wicked Playlist
Hug Every Friend I Have and Let Them Know How Much They Mean to Me
Learn More Spanish
Live the Only Life I Have Known to the Fullest. I will look back on this phase of my life fondly, I regret nothing.

More to come...

Love,
CAM

Trial & Error

Hellllooo friends and family and potential PC volunteers. I want to use this blog to keep everyone updated on my Guatemalan adventures. I'd like to start by apologizing for any poor grammar, misspellings or bad jokes I may make. I can't imagine what wierd and exciting things might influence my judgement and therefore my writing abilities over the next 27 months. About a week ago I received my invitation to Central America. I accepted without hesitation, this is where I had originially asked to go but had been denied. I was going to Africa they said. So I have been mentally prepping myself for Africa for the past 10 months. The offer to Central America was an incredible blessing for my family and myself. After accepting the offer I received a large package full of tons of information I will need to know about Guatemala, my Peace Corps country of service. As of right now all my paperwork is filled out, my things are somewhat in order. Now just to sell the car, learn some more spanish and spend as much quality time with my family and friends as possible. I depart April 27 and I am scheduled to return August 21st, 2012. Anyway, this is it for my first official post. I will keep everyone updated as my adventure gets closer. Thanks for reading:)
