Waiting

So I've switched my blog over now it's all about AmeriCorps and the fun that I'm sure will ensue. Right now I'm anxiously awaiting my welcome packet. I feel like I've been waiting for it for a long time now, but now more so than ever. I keep hearing about other people going to Vicksburg getting theirs and it makes me anxious. I want to get mine now. :D I'm quite impatient at times. Like now. I think I've asked my mom everyday for the past week or so. I've been housesitting out in Wentzville and haven't been able to go home and check it myself. When I get the packet I'll get all my travel information and a bunch of other fun stuff, like my packing list!!! I'm a freak like that, I love packing lists. I really like knowing what I'm supposed to bring with me. I know I'm a huge dork.

My going away party is coming along nicely. I'm planning the whole thing myself, my mom doesn't have the time because she's working so much. :( At least she's helping out! I'm paying for all of the invites and fun stuff needed for the party, Mom's paying for the food and my lovely boss Heather Ann and Joyce, another good family friend, are getting me my cake. The party is going to be at St. John Hall at my church. :D It's super cheap for me to rent out because I am a member. Yay! I finally got all my invites addressed and stamped and mailed last night. Well, all except one because I'm still looking for the address. I hope I get it soon because the party is on July 31 and I want people to have plenty of head's up. I hope we have a really good turn out. I'm opening it up to everyone from church so some people I figure will come and stay the whole time and some people will come for a few minutes and leave. That's all cool with me so long as everyone signs my memory blanket. :D I want that thing to be full of signatures and best wishes because I know when I'm gone I'm going to need everyone's support. It will be nice to know everyone's behind me.

Well that's all I've got for now. I promise to be good about updating, but right now there's just not much to talk about. Getting my welcome packet will be exciting so look for that update! And I'm sure once I leave and I'm in Vicksburg I will update almost everyday. haha or almost everyday.

Yours, Ashley
