First ever blog post.

Hello world!

I have never blogged in my life. That is a fact and it has already been a rocky start. Every blog i've ever seen has always looked so neat and organized and I'm warning you, this may be the biggest disaster of a blog you've ever seen in your life.

Now that i've gotten that little factoid out of the way, I'm starting this blog to (hopefully) document my time spent with the Peace Corps in Kenya. I have been wanting to start a blog to talk about the application process but decided to wait until I got my official invitation stating which country I'll be going to so I could give this blog a cutesy name (I know, I did a great job).

it's bigger than it looks

So I officially received my invitation to serve today! I'm being placed in the Deaf Education program and I will be in Philadelphia for orientation October 11-12 and then I'll ship out to "Pre-Service Training" for 3 months ( October 13-December 15) in Loitokitok, Kenya. Beyond that information I don't know too much else.. meaning I am not sure what the chances of having internet are over there but I figured better be safe than sorry and introduce myself to the blogosphere now.
