time for a party

yummy rum drinks in Panachel, Guatemala

i'm throwing my last party at the Shelby House tonight.  i've been living here for 4 years (WOW!) and it has great, but time to move on.  i'm looking forward to seeing lots of familiar faces, and a few new ones, costumed up and ready to dance. 

i move in 3 weeks...and leave my job in 12.   i am slowing preparing for a number of MAJOR life changes - moving, leaving my job of 6+ years, traveling in Central America for a few months, applying to the Peace Corps.  these next few months have much in store for me.  i am trying to get ready for all of the emotions i will be experiencing but it's not easy.  i think i'll be ready for the loss and the gain of transition...but i'm not really gonna know what it's like till i am in the midst of it. 

tonight i will enjoy being surrounded by creative, loving, fun friends. 

** i may be taking a break from this thing as i begin to "transition."  that said i will resume when my travels begin so you know where on earth Molly P is!**
