To those of you who frequent this
blog often, I have exciting news for you! Everything in my last post about
going to Virginia and Washington D.C. is temporarily void. I have a new
assignment!!
 |
| Iowa |
is my new assignment location! I
will be working at the Joint Field Office in Urbandale, IA (just outside the state
capital, Des Moines) until this whole government shut down thing gets itself
worked out. A few months ago a series of severe storms, flooding, and tornadoes
struck throughout the State of Iowa…so my team and I will be assisting the
public in matters that have not yet been taken care of. It’s vague—yes, but to
be totally honest…I’m not sure what all I’m allowed to say on the World Wide
Web…so I say the more vague umbrella terms the better!! I’m just grateful that
we are able to finally deploy and start doing the work we’ve been trained to do
J
Here’s how I feel about the
change in plans: “lsdkjflsknllskjflsdjf!!!! :D J :]”. In
English, that roughly translates to: “I am excited beyond words and thriving in this
adrenaline fueled adventure!!! :D :) :]” I never thought when I accepted this position six
months ago that I would be handing all this dramatic change in such a positive
way. I absolutely love it. It’s terrifying and full of unknowns…but shockingly,
those are my favorite things about it. I have a feeling I’m going to be quite
an adrenaline junkie once I’m completed with my term serving in AmeriCorps NCCC
FEMA Corps (that name really never quickly flows off the tongue…).
We depart tomorrow morning at “9
am” after a series of room and kitchen inspections, room key turn ins, and last
minute packing of the van. Now can you understand why I put it in quotes? We
will be arriving in Urbandale, Iowa Saturday afternoon…with no set place to
live yet. It is likely that we will not know our living situation until we’re
there…but that’s the beauty of this job!
So here is to an endless amount
of unknowns and unbelievable amounts of excitement! Iowa, here I come!! J
