Graduation Fiesta

I had my graduation party and bon voyage last Sunday the 11th and it was a great time!!!
 
A lot of my friends from school and home came and partied with me.  I had it in this really cute little club house in KC and I was extra excited because so many of my friends from Columbia came up to celebrate with me. 
 
The whole shindig was organized and planned by my Mom, who's the best mom in the world by the way!  She even found a guy to make a video collage from pictures of me when I was little up to my gradutation.  It was really nice. 
 
I was really excited that I got to see so many people before I left, because I knew I wasn't going to get to see a lot of them before I leave on the 31st. 
 
Well, once I get my pictures developed I'll post some of them for all those that missed out and those that just want to see the pictures.

Starting Up

Well this will be my temporary log until I can get a website up. We'll just use this as a way for family and friends to keep up with me and what I'm doing.

Currently, I'm working and packing and bidding my time 'til my big send off. On July 31 I'll be making my way to Tokyo, Japan!!

The first 4 days in Japan I'll be attending many, many, many meetings during our orientation during the day. The evenings, however, will be filled of bar hopping and party going!! Whooo-hooo!.

After orientation I'll be moving to my new home in Hanamaki City in the Iwate prefecture. I'll spend the next year there as an assistant English teacher at Hanamaki Minami Senior High School.

I'm very excited about this new opportunity and hope all goes well.

Keep me in your prayers!
