Jen's adventure

Well, it's getting really hard to believe that Jen will be leaving to start her new job/adventure starting Thursday afternoon. We are very proud of her acceptance in this program because it is not easy to be accepted. She must have really wowed them because she ended up being late for the interview because she couldn't find parking.
We are happy and sad at the same time. This is what she has wanted to do since entering college. Not many college students can say that they achieved what they intended when they started college. It will be sad to not have her closer to home but just think of the trip we get to take to see her!!
It was good to see family through the summer. We wish David & family didn't live so far away but are happy that things are going well for them.

If you're wondering

I've removed my old account from the blogger. I use this email address a lot more, and I couldn't change the log-in information, so I just removed the old one, so all posts marked "X" in this blog are from my old account.

P.S. Here's an image out my back window that my predecessor sent me. Awesome, isn't it? I'm excited, except I've forgotten how to ski...

We should resurrect this, or something...

So, it's been a while, like a year a while. Since all of my livejournal posts are private by default, and I don't want my more personal information getting out through public posts, I figured we should try and revive this blog thing. Since I'm going away to the wondrous land of Japan, keeping in touch might be a good idea.

As far as the summer is going, there has been pretty much a lot of nothing. Except shopping. And oh how I adore shopping /sarcasm. Now it's two weeks until I depart and I need to figure out how to coordinate a wardrobe that doesn't involve jeans and a blouse. blech professionalism. But I can't complain. My roommate Shaffy dove right into being a professional after graduation, the day after, to be more precise.

I'm a little nervous about going to Japan, but at the same time I'm excited. The most daunting thing is being in a new part of the country. I've never been to the Chubu region before, so I don't know what to expect. People in Osaka could either be really direct or really polite if you were in their store. Their mannerisms were most close to American culture in my opinion, but what do I know.

Well, that's it for now. I need to reorganize my closet, so I can pull it all out again and throw it in a suitcase. A purple suitcase.
