It's been awhile.

Good morning....sorry it's been awhile. I'd like to say that there have been massive changes in my life since I spoke with you three months ago, but that's only partially true...mostly more of the same. To update you on the monotony of my life since then, however, would take awhile...so I'll skip to the good parts.

Neil came to visit the beginning of August and it was nice to have him here. First time to see him since he left for Dijibouti last August, so it was good to catch up and show him my Seattle..he loved it I think.

I went home right after that for a week. So, so good to be home. I promised myself rest but I didn't get any, saw some good friends and had an epiphany -- most of my friends there will never be the same kind of friends again. People I was close to there, I don't know anymore and they don't know me. But, that's okay. I suppose it's a part of growing and finding myself, or something. Who the heck knows. Anyway, I got a lot of sweet tea, some cheese biscuits and Surin so it worked out.

It's been a whirlwind since then. I turned 23. Broke a heart. Fell in love. Brother is here from Japan. Going to Boston for Thanksgiving. PRSA. Law School? Moving...tomorrow.

I'll dive deeper into my inner being in the next entry...now that we're caught up.
