Staging!!

So the past few weeks have been emotionally overwhelming. I have said a lot of goodbyes and even more see you laters. I had a wonderful time with my family last Saturday at my going away party and a great past week with my friends and coworkers. I had my last meal with my parents and brother. My last day at work was Friday where I got a lot of love from everyone there. Everyone has been so sweet to me and I am so thankful for the time I was able to spend with the people I love. I will miss you all so much!

Last dinner with my "little" brother parents. 

Staging has been fantastic! There were a few sessions on what to anxieties, hopes, fears, health and safety. Mostly we just all got to get together and meet the people we will be spending the next 27 months with. I am sitting here at JFK right now waiting to fly out. This has been a great weekend with old and new friends and I can't wait for what is to come in just 17 hours. 

I love you all and miss you. I will post when I get to Botswana and get settled.
