it will all be worth it

I have my Peace Corps invite. Now it is really down to the nitty-gritty. This medical stuff is going to kill me. Not because the Peace Corps is difficult about it but because my freaking doctor is being extremely difficult. By the time I finish with the medical stuff I will have visited the doctors office at least 6 times when it could have all been done in 1 or 2 appointments. I got so frustrated with her one day I was nearly in tears. It will all be worth it.
Only one more appointment. Please cross your fingers for me.

I have one last dentist appointment next week.

I have to scan some papers in.

I filled out my Zambian visa today and now need to mail it in.
I need to fill out my Peace Corps passport application and mail it in.

I feel like I am in really good shape for less than a month after accepting.

I went to REI to look at equipment that I need to take with me. Oh doggy. This will cost me an arm and a leg. It will all be worth it.

When push comes to shove I am just pushing and shoving along. Nothing is going to stop me.
I love Zambia so much already.

I just keep on reminding myself when things seem to be falling apart and not going how I planned (which seems to happen a lot):
It will all be worth it. 

the beginning

I got my invitation to the Peace Corps today. It is like getting a mission call. (But better... I said it.) It was exactly when and where my recruiter thought would be the perfect fit for me. I am stoked. It is all I can think about. 

June 10th I leave here. I am already packing my bags and not looking back.

The invite came a lot sooner then I expected. I was actually on hold on the phone with BYU-I trying to get some transcripts from them that PC requested before I could get my invite. I was on the phone with them when I randomly checked my email and there it was. Email gold. I hung up on BYU-I. Too excited to finish that unneeded phone call. I was not expecting this gem to come for a few more months! 

Now I am down to the nitty-gritty. I accepted my invite. I did not think long or hard about it. This is what I want to do. Please ship me off now. 

My email box has exploded. PC is going crazy. There is so much medical stuff I have to do, congrats letters, etc, etc. It is overwhelming but with so much excitement it is also fabulous. 

Of course I have also forgotten my PC Medical Portal sign in information. I made that isha up back in like February or March when I started this crazy journey. I have to get into to that portal to get all my doctor and dentist stuff done ASAP. I am all about getting this isha done so they know I am serious. I am dead serious about this.

Life is great and this is just all so wonderful. 

I feel like this is all just the beginning of the best adventure of my life. 

Welcome along for the ride.
