2 years 2 months...737 days. That is the culmination of time spent in the land of the morning calm. I can't say all of it has been great, but I can't say it's all been terrible either. It is what it is. It was my life...my routine. It seems strange and almost scary to leave the 10 by 25 shelter I call home. That doesn't mean I am not ready to leave.

another adventure in a span of 27 years!
Dear Joe(y), What better gift could we have given you and Annamarie than to introduce you to the world outside of your own town, state and country? Even though I have missed you "terribly" you have shared with Dad and I a part of the world that we have had only a "taste" of! I have loved your blogs! You write from both your heart and your eyes! I will be thrilled to hear of your "new" adventures ahead over the next month! Keep writing , sharing and sending photos! Thanks you for letting us see that part of the world from your perspective! I count myself one the "luckiest" mother's around to have such wonderful children! I love you so much!!! XOXO Mom

Joe, many of people dare their minds and souls into jumping off the edge of familiarity to swim with the unknown. Most dont....but you my friend are just crazy and comfortable enough to embrace the CALLING--thats what I love about you. Chinua Ichibe once wrote a book titled Things Fall Apart and after reading it I realized time has a funny vortex that seems to defy the body and mind and most things carbon based. You my friend have been putting things together and I want to encourage you to keep hacking at the puzzle. much love and we'll see you in September
