c'est la vie

C’est la vie and the French cliché becomes the motto for my last month in Mali. Yes folks, its been two years already! I did not know what I thought this part of my service-this part of my life was going to be like and now that its here…I am sort of at a loss of words. I just got back from our close of service conference in Mopti, three days of reflection of two years of service. It was pretty surreal and I still can not believe I have a month left here.

I realize also that I have not blogged as much as I had wanted—I guess that’s another effect of reflection, saying your what ifs and I should haves. This is just to let folks know that I will be back in California by August 25th. The plan is to just be back and be with the family and live those California dreams that have alluded me these past years.

I’ll keep folks posted. Peace
