into the unknown...

i can't believe we take off tomorrow...it's really hard to wrap my head around the fact that i'm moving to africa for 2 years. i'm excited, nervous, and a bit scared. but i know that those are the things i've typically felt before having some of the best experiences of my life. so...here's to trusting that this will be another one of those experiences!

thank you so much for all of your messages and pictures of monkeys...they've been great to read (and look at) tonight. [edit: the green monkey below was actually seen, by ME, during my first week in uganda]


i've got a full plate until we board the bus tomorrow morning so i won't be able to respond individually, though i wish i could. i'll be in touch again as soon as i can, by whatever means necessary! (looks like it will likely be snail-mail, at least for the first 10 weeks).

here we go!
