It has been a long time. A lot has happened and even more changes have taken place. My blog puts me back on the shores of the Galapagos Islands still swimming with the turtles. And as much as I find myself wanting to return to that place, I know without a doubt in my mind that I am supposed to be where I am at this very time and place.

Over the past 6 months I have traveled through Colombia, returned home, taken (and passed!!) teaching tests, moved to Louisiana, taught in Mississippi, and returned to Louisiana to start a full time Spanish teaching position. While I don’t think it is possible to fully and accurately tell the stories of my past 6 months I am going to try. I am going to attempt to update my blog starting in the Galapagos all the way up to present day. Hopefully through the help of pictures, my journal, and my memory a decently realistic update will ensue. Hopefully, I will have enough energy over the next couple of weeks to stick to it. Wish me luck.
