Two years is a long time and a lot can happen in that time.  As I look back over the last two years: I started out in Pennsylvania doing freelance work after having just lost my job as the Graphic Designer for a screenprinter... I took part in the Penn State Pride celebration, and more specifically, the Commitment Ceremony that generated so much controversy that spring... I moved to Indiana and worked on expanding my portfolio... I became a cyclist... I got involved with Indiana AIDSWalk and The Damien Center... I started teaching at The Art Institute...

Who knows what the next two years will bring?  I look forward to the changes and challenges but also the continuing growth of my walk in Christ and the opportunities I'll have for teaching, illustrating/creating... and posting here...

Before I wrap up this entry and while I'm feeling all nostalgic, here's a picture that was taken on my most recent trip to Orlando:

Sarah is someone I met when I was with Camfel my first year - she and I trained together, spent our first semester touring in neighboring regions, and became great friends.  When I was having a rough time during Thanksgiving, I went to Vermont and spent it with her... and when I was getting ready to leave Camfel (or so I thought), she was the one I wanted to do my last show with.  When I found out she'd be at Disney World the same time I'd be in Orlando I couldn't pass up the chance to see her again and here we are... on her birthday...  Happy Birthday, Sarah!

Okay, enough reminiscing... time to move forward again!  ;-P
