We did a similar trip in 2004 to Sau Paulo, Brazil and are looking forward to see what God will do again.So in doing this we are trying to raise money, not only for Ryan and I, but our whole team... on May 10th I am offering a mini session photoshoot for 00 and all the proceeds will go toward the trip to Brazil. You will receive a 30 minute photo shoot at Cypress Groves Park on May 10th and a CD of 20-30 images, with copyright permission.

In my next few posts about books, I'd like to share some fun books I've read recently that would be good end of year or summer reading books to share with children.The first one is The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman. The main character, Gil Goodson (don't you just love the names!), has his own personal agenda for making it into the competition, and then winning it (maybe).American Idol similarities -- thousands of contestants wait in line just to make it into the Golly Toy and Game Company's facility where the competition will be held. It's not full of beautiful, descriptive language (though the descriptions of the inside of The Golly Toys and Games Company are quite detailed), but it's fun, and it made me think -- I really wanted to solve some of the puzzles. There's even a twist at the end that ties up the loose ends.Jody Feldman must have had fun thinking of all the puzzles, because she leaves the readers with one final puzzle AFTER the ending.My last rationale for why you should read The Gollywhopper Games -- just saying the title makes me smile!

Friday night Hitomi and I rode the bus to Minami Urawa station and met the other 3rd year teachers for dinner and alcohol. Then there was the Brass Band director and assistant director, Hitomi, myself, and 2 teachers who left Warabi this semester. Plus it helps that we’ve all been drunk together….twice now.On Friday at the end of the day I made my way back up to the band room and watched the kids practice. I didn’t feel like interrupting or anything I just wanted to relax and watch. Turns out, the band was performing at this big shopping store on Saturday afternoon and they wanted me to come. We have a park next to our apartment building so I wanted to be able to play basketball f I was bored and needed to get outside. But like I’ve said before, I wanted to work a job where I can see the progress. Jesse and I had to go to Akiba in the morning and return this wireless router he bought because our internet modem ended up having a wireless card. We came across the KFC and this sexily dressed colonel......When we got home we went over to the park and played basketball for like and hour and watched little kids unicycle.
