invitation to the peace corps!

Well...Monday of last week marked the day that I received my invite to the Peace Corps. I will be serving in Mali as a SED (Small Enterprise Development) Management Advisor leaving for my orientation on July 17 - 19 most likely somewhere in the northeast part of the U.S. Pre-service training will be from July 20 - Sept 21, and then I will begin my actual service until Sept. 2009....Ahhhhh! Seems like such a long time, but I am really excited/nervous/anxious about it and I am just ready to learn and ingest as much as possible!

Anyways, I figured I would start this blog because it will probably be the easiest and most efficient way to communicate and let everyone know about my experiences in Mali!
