California

This past week I spent in California and the weekend before in Mesa Verde on my family reunion. We had such a great time.  I spent the week with my brother and his wife, and we just spent the days having fun.  We went to the Wild Animal Park, Sea World, the beach, and spent 2 days in Disneyland and California Adventure.  I got really tan and burnt some. But it was such a great trip.  Pictures will be coming soon. I got home in time to go on a date, then head to Moscow the next day.  I will spend the week here in Moscow, and will go home to take my state CNA test and spend a few more days with my sister and then start school and the busy life that will come with that this semester.  Not only will I be taking 16 credits, I am hoping to work a ton and make money for Russia.  I got accepted and am going to be spending 5 months in Russia teaching children English.  It will be such a great experience.  Right now I am not scared just crazy excited.  I can't believe the chanes and opportunites that have come to me over this past year.  I know that it will be hard, and I hope that I will have the support from family and friends back at home.  I am taking the spring semester off of school so i can go and serve in Russia. But I believe that it will be worth it in the end.
