I called to accept my invitation. I will be leaving Austin on the evening of July 17th, only returning a couple of days to clean and get the last of my things. I have a bitter sweet taste in my mouth. I know that I am about to have an unforgettable, unimaginable, unexplainable experience; However, the thought of leaving Austin makes my heart heavy. I love this city, the friends I have made here, and well... of course there is this beautiful house I live in right now. Lets just hope I have electricity and running water at my St. Lucian destination. Ha, j/k; they say I will definitely have electricity and running water. I might even have cable and a phone! Now isn't that exciting.
More to come later... I'll post my packing guidelines later... I know I shouldn't be getting so stressed about packing, but geez... it is for 2 years. Some how I have to figure out what I can bring to wear that won't make me look like a tourist. Hmmm... I think they forgot that I haven't ever visited St. Lucia... what do the locals look like?!?! I have been on a mission to figure this one out.
Peace for now!

I am excited for you and stand behind you. I can see how packing for two years is going to be tough but I have faith that you can do it. And they better get ready cuz you are going to bring some great programs to their little Island.
