So all this waiting....

And finally I know!!! I'm going to spend my summer between New York City and Washington DC. I'm so excited! When I applied I asked to be in an urban area and I told my mom that I really wanted to go to DC. My mom was not too thrilled about my wish, but I don't think she actually thought I would ever be assigned there. They informed us that we would know by today where we were assigned, and all morning I was going crazy. I kept looking at my phone hoping I would get the call. My mom was trying to keep me busy with all these tasks for my sister's graduation party, but it wasn't keeping my mind off of the call very well. About 2:00 my phone started ringing I looked down and was so excited I knew it was the call!!! Michelle (permanent staffer) was on the other end and proceeded to make small talk and such. My heart was racing. I had been so nervous, but in that moment I wasn't sure if I wanted to know anymore, but she told me anyway and I just started smiling and then my mom knew. She sort of freaked a little, but I'm pretty sure she is happy too. Just worried like most moms I guess :) Anyway I then knew and all the waiting and nervousness was over and I was ecstatic!! I don't know why God put it in my heart, but as I was filling out my application to work and checking out the places I could go it just stuck with me that I wanted to be in DC. So that is where I'm going and I just can't wait to see what God has planned for me there! I hope you all keep me in your prayers! It will be a big change for this small town girl! I wouldn't want it any other way though! God has brought me through so much and I know He has a great plan for me still! I love you all and will keep you all updated on the things to come!!
