Today we should be in 87 degrees weather with lots of sunshine, but instead we are still here in Buffalo due to a horrific snow storm. I guess that's life though; you must always be prepared for change. On a positive note it gives me more time to make sure I am thoroughly packed and it gives me extra hours to snuggle with my baby pup (Vinny).
I am extremely excited to begin this new journey in a different country. Lord knows, I need this time away to learn, grow, and reflect on all of my goals in life. I am extremely confident that the children in the Dominican Republic will give me a new perspective on life and give me comfort in knowing that everything WILL be alright. I hope they learn as much from me as I will learn an endless amount from them and their community.
To my ladies: Throughout the meetings and our amazing sweater party, we have already grown so close. At the end of this journey we will have a very special bond that I can not wait to carry with me forever. Some of us may get cranky, or even cry as we learn about our strengths and weaknesses far away from home, but most of all we are going to LAUGH and LEARN from one another. I can't wait.
Whelp, time to finally go organize my items! Stay warm and safe everybody!!!!
