Tasha’s Gradumacated!

On August 11, Tasha finally finished what she started back in August 1998. After 9 long years going to school part-time with a few semesters off here and there, working, changing majors, and putting up with me, she has finished her degree from the University of North Texas!

She is now (or working to be) an early childhood interventionist. I know it sounds like someone who gathers a young child’s friends and family for a surprise meeting and tries to get young kids off heroin and into rehab or something, but it isn’t. I think if I tried to explain it to you right now, I might bog you down with my horrible explanation instead of getting to the real point I am trying to make with this post…so just ask her. She will tell you all about it.

I am so proud of Tasha. I think if I had ever stopped going to school even once, I would have never gone back. She didn’t just stop once, she did it twice…I think. It might have been 3 times. Either way, it really takes someone special to stick with something for so long and see it through. But I knew she would do it….after all, she has stuck with me longer than she did college ;) . I love you babe! You RULE!

Anyways, the pictures from her graduation and graduation party are here. Enjoy! And if you haven’t congratulated her yet, please do so.

Guess where I am heading…

The Sakura Lounge in the Tokyo Narita airport has the coolest machine! You take a glass and put it on a stand. Press the magic button and it tilts the glass, gently pours in a half glass of beer, tilts the glass back to the original position and fills the glass to about 3/4 full. Then the stand shifts the glass and positions it beneath another nozzle where it adds a bit of head to it. Once it has filled the glass, it again shifts it into position for you to remove the glass and enjoy the frosty beverage. I think I will go try to find a make and model number! :cool:

You may be wondering what the hell I am doing in Japan. It is just a layover on what is yet another trip to Indonesia. It will be much like my previous trips except this time I get 1 full day in Bali before heading off to the job site. More fresh seafood, cheap DVDs, etc…

I will try to do a few updates while I am over on this site of the world, so stay tuned…

I will be home and ready for celebration just in time for Tasha’s graduation.

Congrats babe!
