I like to think of myself as an aspiring songwriter, music lover, and critic. Eventually I'll get a Journalism degree if i don't get sick of school... and perhaps someday I'll do what I truly love and commit to an eternity that begins now.

Hey Dustin....thanks for checking up on us. We're doing great, making our way around, walking everyday out in faith. The people are so diverse, one thing they don't have is patience. It's not in their nature. I do miss kindness and people knowing my name. But I'm still new, I gotta start all over. how are you?
Dustin!!! How are you? I was actually just thinking about you just the other day, and here you are on my comments!!! I'm doing fine, staying busy, and still trying to figure out how and when I could squeeze in a visit to Memphis!! But what can you do!?
Yup!!! It helps that our van's brakes went down hill in order for me to be able to get anything further done with the masters stuff. Waiting for his call now!! Are you good to pick me up August 13?
Hey there! Stuck in Sault Ste Marie while our van is at the brake doctor! (Crazy brakes!!) But that's okay. It's given me time to do some more work on getting my masters stuff done. Having a phone interview in the morning with Dr. Benham again.
So... will I be seeing you at the airport in August? tata. Off to work and sleep... and then camp!!!!!
