What a great plan huh!!! I love Sex and The City, I only watched it on DVD this past year but it was wonderful. I can't wait to see what the movie has in store for us!!!!

Where has the time gone?
Well I have taken the GRE and I have that under my belt now so when I take it again I know more what to expect. I have found a couple of graduate programs that I am interested in, but I am also looking at a couple different options right now. It seems like I haven't even had a second to breath over the past six weeks, but now as I sit to write I can't think of a thing. I am beginning to think of my travel plans for '09. I am excited for the possibilities of having the time and being able to visit my friends and family all over the US and still be able to go on at least one international trip. Cairo is on my list this upcoming year, as well as Ohio, and finally my Mom and I are going to take that trip to Savannah, Georgia that we have been talking about for a couple years. I have one trip left this year, and it takes place in Northern Europe in August. I am looking forward to this trip with a combination of hesitation and excitement, believe me it is a long story.
It seems like just last month I was visiting Mckenzie in South Africa and waking up each morning making our French press coffee, and eating our GIANT bowls of cereal while trading Zoe back and forth. When I arrived there I thought 3 weeks was so long, however by the end, I felt like I had just started to get used to life there. I knew it would be at least 4 months before I saw them again, now she could be out here as early as next month! Time just seems to fly by lately. My boss (also my mom) took 6 weeks off of work which now seems like yesterday, but she is back at work today. Someone recently told me "You can do anything for two years". What I don't think that person had any idea of was how seriously I am considering joining the Peace Corp. The length of service just happens to be two years!! It is true though, think of how many of us never thought high school would end and by your senior year you were wondering where the time went. That is what happened to me, but the time only seemed to speed up in college. At the beginning of the year we would be thinking how long this year would be, and by the end we would all be surprised at how we had accomplished everything we set out to do and so much more than we ever thought possible.
Considering how quickly time flies by I have been thinking of different adventures and challenges I want to face and over come in the upcoming months, and years. First on the list I really want to climb a mountain. While I have many other ideas and goals for myself I am starting with this one!!!! So hopefully this August I will be on the South Sister in Oregon, and have my first mountain under my belt.
Time really does fly by, and remember to savor the choices that you make, and for goodness sakes sometimes you just have to JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!
