I know I said that I wasn’t going to Orem, to chase after the Osmonds.

And … I didn’t!

One of my friends lives in Orem and it worked out better to meet there.

After catching up, we had lunch at Zupas. Then, I drove home, directly into a storm.

In many ways, the storm was fitting. Tomorrow, I have a flight to Los Angeles. Then, I’m traveling back east and on to Peace Corps staging for my service in Ethiopia.

You can only prepare so much for Peace Corps service and my next 27 months will mirror driving into a storm.

Ethiopia will be my third assignment. And, much like heading into the unknown today, I’m hoping that I can make it through and find my way back home. –GGT
