Falling into place

It feels like the puzzle pieces are finally falling into place. I have a peace in the pit of my stomache that has been missing for a long time. Feels good to have it back!

I told Janette on Friday that I decided to go to Northwest and she hugged me! I told Jan today and she said, "YAY!!" Katie and my dad like the idea, too. I like that the people I love like this decision.

So here's my plan beyond coming back from Peru and running the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 marathon (plans change, but it's easier to steer a ship that's moving!):

- Save for trip to Europe in 2012 (Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Spain, and Iceland with Heather to see Brajna, Iva, Abi, John & Phyllis, Brian, and Elizabeth)

- Prepare and apply to Northwest University's International Care and Community Development Master's program, to begin in Fall 2012

I love having goals further in the future than a couple months! Welcome back, old self.
