Fernando Alejandro Guitario

I was re-reading some old posts and realized that while I disclosed I had a new guitar and that it would take some time to name it, I had not posted what the name was!

Well, after much careful deliberation, my new guitar was named Fernando Alejandro Guitario. He's beautiful. *Sigh*.

Things are going well here in NC. I'm taking the train with Julie down to Miami and another YAV, Matt, has volunteered in fantastic fashion to help transport some things in his car as he drives right by the R/D area. Yay Matt!

I'm helping clean up the house and packing things much tighter now... fit for train travel... this also means that I'm having to cut back more on things I was planning on bringing. But oh well. This is truly a learning experience, and I'm ok with that.

:)

Hope everyone is enjoying their time, wherever they are.

Cheers,
Em

Finally! An update!

Well, I'm sorry it took so long (over a month, yeesh!) but it's finally here. An update.

Things have been, well, insane since I last posted.

Here's a brief rundown:

With the intent of finalizing my "work" while away on my trip I had some casual interviews with a few organizations in the Miami area. I know now at least one organization I'll be working with. I don't know for sure whether I can release that info yet, but I can tell you it will deal with drama ministry and lots of fun stuff. I'll give more info when it is completely settled and I feel comfortable disclosing information.

I also completely packed up my apartment, gave away a number of things, sold all my furniture and moved out of my place. My friend Natasha has been a huge blessing this week, staying with me and helping me move. We cleaned the whole apartment top to bottom and drove 2 days down to my parents place in North Carolina. She gets to visit for a week or so, and then is flying home. Then I'm leaving about a week later for Miami, traveling with another young woman from the Miami YAV site who lives here in the area near my parents home.

All in all, I've concluded working at both prior jobs, interviewed for 2 new ones, packed and cleaned up my apartment, had a fun going away party, finished a semester at Kirkwood and moved (partially) to North Carolina. It's been quite busy. But I enjoyed it.

Another update to come soon... much sooner than the last.



PS - I have the address, phone number and more for the new home in Miami, and I have a new cell phone number so the old one you had will not work any more. If you need any of this, contact me and I'll pass it along.

Cheers!
