random pictures to make me smile...and you too!

i made the mistake of looking at old videos i took in japan with my digital camera. it's funny how masochistic i can be....it made me sad. plus, my blog is starting to look boring with all these complaints about kendo. here are some random photos that make me smile.

excuse the format cuz i'm just too damn lazy to fix it.





my nephew always makes me smile....here he is at 1 years old. he's almost 20 months old now.














this is when i first went back to the states during xmas my second year in japan. this is for lindsey's 26th birthday. here i am with parisa and lindsey, my girls for life.












here's me and ruth (i forgot the black dude's name....shit...)at the camping trip in miyama, japan, right before everyone parted ways. i still look quite fob-liscious here....i miss ruth. this trip was all about love...









me, grace, and jenni in vietnam posing on our cyclos with our drivers. felt kinda bad to have these old men pedal us around for chump change...great memories though.











during my first year in japan, i had to visit another school for a week. although i bitched and moaned about how far away it was, these two girl's english ability was amazing.

okay...i'll post more random pics later. i miss all my girls and friends in japan...
