Well, after succesfully avoiding this business of blogging for...five years now? I have officially given in. To be perfectly honest, I can't quite remember exactly why I avoided it for so long, but my (I'm sure very good) reasons have sort of got themselves lost back there in the haze along with pretty much anything negative from LeTourneau and, of course, any French I may have ever known. Memories are funny, aren't they?
Lately though, I discovered I wanted a blog. It was sort of a weird discovery like when you finally realize that fishing is boring or that broccoli tastes kind of good... well maybe not quite that weird.
Anyway, as I came to the close of my year as a gypsy and began my very first baby steps toward the almost overwhelming adventure of law school, I decided it would be a good idea to start a blog. After all, over the past year when I was doing crazy things I never dreamed of in places like Japan and South Korea, or putting up with the ever-dreaded-hungry-tired-soccer-mom in my stint as a waitress, (oops, excuse me, "server") there were LOTS of times I just wanted the delicious freedom of putting into words EXACTLY what I thought of said soccer mom, or describing that mysteriously beautiful world in the East before I forgot all the details...
But then again, I'm Amy, so I had to have terrible timing and start my blog after all the adventures were over. ;-) Ah well, guess it's an excuse to have more adventures, right?
I have also discovered that I'm an even worse correspondent than I once thought, so maybe, just maybe, this coupled with facebook will finally force me to keep in touch with all of you amazingly wonderful people I keep having the joy of getting to know!
Well, here's to starting something new! And now I'm going to go back to unpacking my car for the five-hundredth-time this year, that is, if I can dislodge my mom's chihuahua who seems to have installed herself rather permamently on my lap.
(packing, unpacking and repacking is the one HUGE negative to gypsy life, if you ever decide to be a gypsy. Everything else is awesome).
I'm hungry.

I'm SO jealous of your blog. Color. Photos. Scripture.
Um...was that a diss of a certain soccer mom? I mean, I think I might know who she is and all that.
Also, chihuahuas on laps are good things.
I'm so linking to you. When I figure out how.

yay! my first comment :-)
No...it was a diss of the perfectly coiffed, perfectly made up, frozen smiled, too-much-jewelry, matching-purse, pain-in-the-you-know-where customer. ;-)
Don't worry. We don't associate with such persons!
