So for what is hopefully my last birthday in the United States for a couple of years, I wanted to do a big blow out but somehow that's not going to work out. So instead, I went to Florence on Sunday and just hung out with my family. It was really awesome and gave me a chance to kind of fill them in on where I am in the Peace Corps process and answer some questions. They are trying to be happy and supportive of me but I can tell the whole situation is just really scary and new for them.
