Originally I started this blog over a year ago to document my life from 27 July 2008 to 27 July 2009. Why the 27th of July? Because 27 July 2007 was when I left Sault Ste Marie, and my job as a Residence Manager at Sault College. It's also the date, a year later, that I found myself sitting at the airport waiting for my first that would take me on my way to Afghanistan. I remember being more than a little amazed as I sat at the airport about how much had happened in the previous year, and how much I thought could happen in the coming year.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to document my experiences in Afghanistan as they happened, because for some reason the internet I had while I was there made blogspot come up Dutch. And I don't read Dutch. Not even a little. Well, maybe enough to find beer, but that doesn't help with blogging.
The new plan is to go back through my email and journal and post some of the most memorable happenings of the last 12 1/2 months, and then to take it from here. I'm at an interesting place in my life. For the most part, I'm happy with it, even though it's not what I would've expected my life to be at this stage when I was imagining my future years ago. I mean, I'm a single girl starting a new job in a new city. I have no idea what the future holds any more, I just know that my new plan is to enjoy every second of the ride.
