Hello friends and family!! As you should all know by now, I am leaving for Thailand to spend 27 months as a Peace Corps Volunteer. My departure is less than 3 weeks away (Jan 8th) so I decided I should probably make this blog, as I have been promising you all I would. Hopefully I will be able to post here semi regularly to keep you updated on my life. I'll be sure to share any horrifying stories of snakes in the toilet and being attacked by street dogs, so you can get a good laugh at my expense. If you would like to send me letters and candy, which I know you are all dying to do, please email me and I will send you my mailing address. Next time I post I will be in Thailand!
