Why i created a blog...

I am coming to the realization that i am about to leave my family, friends, and that random guy i see and wave at everyday (but have no idea who he is) for a very long time. The rough draft of my schedule for the next year is looking a lot like this.

May 28th - July 5th --> Austin, TX (Summer School)
July 5th - August 15th --> Mt. Ida, Arkansas (Camp Ozark)
August 15th - August 25 --> Cypress, TX ( Hanging around)
August 25th - December__ --> Asia (Semester at Sea)
Mid December - Mid January --> Cypress, TX
Mid January - Summer 08' --> Washington D.C. (Archer Fellowship)

To keep all of you (my loving friends, family, and random dude) up to date on what i will be doing over the next year, i created this blog. I plan on giving first person accounts, or stories, and not really recapping what my days are like. On occasion, i will probably give a mushy "I miss my girlfriend tirade" but mostly, i will keep it entertaining with the most random or hilarious things i have the honor of being a witness to.

I plan to write every day, and will keep my language PG, and PC. Thus, everyone is welcome to read.

I am really looking forward to going, but realize it is going to be hard to leave everything i have in this world behind to go do something that will inevitably change my very core. I look forward to improving myself over this year, while strengthening the positive characteristics i already possess.

This year will be a test of fortitude, faith, love, ability and will. But at the end, i think this blog will tell the story of a young guy that had a great year doing some pretty awesome things.


ENJOY!!!
