Restless

I have learned something about myself, I get restless. Looking back on my life, I have never been committed to one thing for a very long time. It amazes me everyday that I have a job I love, and it is the same job I've been doing for the last three years. Usually, I am very excited about something, jump in with both feet and then after a little while my passion fades and I decide it's not worth it anymore. So, doing the same thing for three years is kind of a big deal for me.

As much as I love what I do and as much as I love my life, the restlessness has still found me. I've struggled for a long time with knowing how to most effectively use my life and I think I've found the answer. I found out yesterday that I have been accepted into a new teaching program. I will be spending at least a year in Kenya teaching children there. It is exciting and totally terrifying at the same time. I'm not sure yet of exact dates.

You should also know that I am a prankster, Happy April Fool's Day! :)

While I don't think moving to Africa to teach is out of the realm of possibility, it's not happening anytime in the near future! :)
