GHANA!

I received my assignment on Saturday.

Ghana. Water, Sanitation and Health project.

Dates of Service: June 1 2009-August 31st 2011.

Excited. Sara and I had a predictably difficult conversation following opening the envelope. Plan now is to stay together, be there for each other, not let this transition cast too great a shadow over the future, and to ultimately keep the door open. She is my best friend. Nothing can change that. I will miss her terribly.

So the news is bittersweet. Bittersweet indeed. But I am so excited I can hardly keep a thought in my head.
