A Great Goodbye

Thank you to all of my friends and family for a truly memorable last few weeks. I feel extremely blessed to have you in my life, and it is with your support that I go into the Peace Corps with high spirits and confidence in myself!

Thanks Jenna for my beautiful necklaces and coordinating a great last night out in Portland!

Katie, Karen, Kate, and Ashley. A special thanks to Karen for driving up from Eugene and my gorgeous journal!

Thanks Becca for making a special effort to fly to Oregon and for the beautiful book you made! It mean't so much to me.

Jon, Zach, and Joel (missing Fenny). You guys have been there for me since forever, especially you brother! Thanks!
