Dreamers and Seekers

Ahoy. I’m back. After a long and eventful train ride after a short and wonderful wedding and after a fun and kickin’ reception, full of dancing, cake, chicken, and friends. And evidently after incomplete sentences. Sorry, this is what blogging does to you. Or perhaps it was the four hours of sleep on the swaying train from Pittsburgh to Elkhart. I had thought I would want to debrief about this in a long and verbose fashion, but I find that words escape me at the moment. As Sarah wrote in her post, I have been very impressed by the hospitality shown to us throughout this trip and it makes me want to share what I have with others all the more. Oh! Also, since today was the day of decision, I will tell you all that I decided not to go to Kazakhstan. So, my future remains undetermined, at least as far as next year goes. I am open to just about anything, but I am actively seeking employment near home (Michigan!) and near school (PA!). If you want to keep up on the exciting details of my life, feel free to check out my infrequently updated blog on Xanga.com, the once fashionable, now surpassed by blogspot blogging sphere: http://www.xanga.com/woodluck . Thanks for reading, folks. It’s been fun.

Love,
Ali

We agreed we’d write concluding reflections, but I don’t have much to add to Sarah’s comments. Only that if you like reading blogs, I’ll be starting one in July when I move to Bogota, Colombia to start my job as a high school science teacher: www.secondbaptistsuffield.org under the missions tab on the left. The road trip was fun, and I like Ali and Sarah. That’s all
