Motorcycle Man!!!

On my way to sturgis.... Just kidding. Me and Jordan practiced riding some motorcycles a few weeks ago. In Indonesia this will be our main transportation but we need to get our liscense here in the states, so I need to figure out how to use this thing! No major accidents, except Jordan going into a ditch and me killing it like 50 times. Im pretty sure I need some leather plants to complete the biker outfit!


Top speed..... 4 mph. I was a little scared. It looks like im going faster than that though, doesn't it????

Me and Jordan In Colorado

here are a few pics from my trip to Colorado with Jordan. Jordan and I graduated together this last spring and he is coming with me to Indonesia. We leave in just a few short months. We are both getting pretty anxious and excited to leave... but still have a lot of preperation to do in the mean time. We will be living in the same city and doing most of the same things together. Im definitely pumped to get to know him better and grow our friendship! Lately Ive come to realize that friendships are gifts and can easily be taken for granted. I believe alot of times we don't realize how special someone is to us until our time with them is running out!

Some pics from last summer

Last summer I spent six weeks in Indonesia. My time spent over there captured my heart for the people and the country. I can't wait to get back and see my friends! This is a picture of my host brother Rosandy! Notice his sweet hat!
















This is me in an Indonesian University, I am the one with the white face! I'll be teaching English classes part time in this school when I go back!

They loved the magic tricks!

The Journey Begins

Well, I just recently graduated from Kansas State University and have spent some time looking back on four of the best years of my life. I learned many things while in college but perhaps some of the best advice I received was to always make the most of the time I've been given. I decided to heed that advice and come this fall I'll be packing my bags and heading to the wonderful country of Indonesia to spend a year of my life. I believe this is a unique opportunity that I hope will open my eyes to the world and change my life forever. I invite you to join me in this adventure. Through my postings and pictures along the way you may experience laughter, tears or anything in between. My hope for you is that you would be as much a part of this as I am!
