3 months and counting...

This past Thursday was March 12th... as I was driving to school it dawned on me that I am leaving for Malawi in exactly 3 months! Wow. It is surreal when something you have wanted for so long becomes a reality. I also sent out my support letters this past month, and the response has been overwhelming! Thank you all so much for your belief in me, and your belief in the bigger picture. It seems not a day goes by that I don't receive a sweet card in the mail, a text message, or phone call. I am so blessed, truly.

This post would not be complete if I did not mention Little Joe. March 10th marked the 10 year anniversary of Little Joe's death, and consequently, the turning point in my life. Little Joe was such an example of what it meant to live life to the fullest. He inspired me in many ways while he was here with us, and still inspires me today. His death taught me that life IS short, and that we need to spend our days living life to the fullest. Thanks Little Joe- Ride on!

I hope this note finds you well. Thanks again for your role in this journey. In the mean time... I have a couple of people coming to look at my condo this week, keep your fingers crossed!
