Thank you Joyce and company! We're in the same boat it seems. It's cold and windy here (Japan) and I've not yet bought a gift for my secret santa gift exchange. haha
Glad to hear from you and yes, I've been meaning to update my blog (sorry it's lacking) but will do so soon once I get pics sorted. Hugs and happy 2014!
Helllloooo!!!! Jareb,
Your blog is amazing. Your experiences are unreal. You HAVE to write a book!!!! Not many people get to experience everything you have. Your pictures are neat too. Like the hair:-) Mom told me you were growing it out a while back but I haven't seen it. The closest I have gotten to any animals is feeding a giraffe at the Niabi Zoo and touching a small monkey's hand in Mexico. I love the lion picture!!!
Have fun in the months ahead--I know you always do:-) We are just hanging out back in Bellevue and waiting for the holiday season and Black Friday:-)

Thanks Brooke, Darren (and Fisher too)! It's funny that you mention a book since I recently finished a rather boring book from a Polish journalist and thought to myself, "Ah, he's one of those guys that listened when people told him to write a book." and the result was a rather lame few hundred pages of nothing. I'm sure mine would turn out no better. haha. I'm just figuring out the comment feature on my blog so a book is out of the question.
OK, so I know I didn't see these when they were all posted but thank you for commenting regardless. Happy Belated Black Friday!
