family.

Family comes in all forms. The norms: parents, grandparents, & siblings... then there are the ones where you least expect to find them: friends, mentors, and even new acquaintances...

I count this as one of my greatest blessings in life... even/especially on the other side of the planet, I know that I am not alone. I know that I am supported & loved. That is a feeling that is truly priceless. I have the best family, amazing friends & mentors in TX and from Auburn, and now have great people who have taken me under their wing in Japan...

I miss the people from home that I love so much, but I am loving this adventure and know that they are never really far away...
