Grandpa

My grandparents were married September 28, 1945 and both died October 28, 2010, 12 hours apart.  It is hard to loose them both, but I'm happy they got thier wish, to go together.  Their love at the  end was amazing.  Just to be in the same room together and be able to touch each other made them so happy.  I will love and miss them both until I get to see them again.

Im bude v Praze!

According to Google Translate "Im bude v Praze!" means I'm going to Prague!!
I got accepted in to TEFL Worldwide Prague to become TEFL Certified.  I am over the moon excited!!! I have been riding a high all week and cannot stop thinking about it.  I will be taking the February 14- March 11 course.  Since Sharon is living in York, England I am going to stop and see her for a week and arrive in Prague February 9.  I have housing there February 9-March 15 and plan on taking full advantage of that. 
I am so excited to be going to Prague, since it is one the the most beautiful cities in Europe and the World.

plans.....lets see how it goes!

So I am mid-semester of my last semester of undergrad!! Very excited!!  I am thinking about what I want to do after.  My parents are really pushing graduate school, which had been the plan for the last 2 years, but right now I am so over school that 3 more years does not sound appealing.  I am looking at travel opportunities-I figure if I don't do it know I never will.  I got accepted for a volunteer job in the Galapagos Islands, which I was so happy about, but once the reality of my small bank account hit, I realized that I don't have the resources right now to spend that much time and money for a volunteer job.  I have been looking into getting TEFL certified for a few years, and teaching English around the world.  I just applied to a school in Prague-TEFL Worldwide-and am excited about that! I should be hearing back from them in the next day or 2.  It is one of the best TEFL schools so that is so exciting!!
Halloween is coming up and I have to put together a sailor costume for Vegas! I am going for a friend's bachelorette party, and ma so excited.  I haven't been since I have turned 21, and the girls I am going with are awesome-we are 4 of the 8 bridesmaids and then the bride herself.  We are all so excited to go crazy for the weekend-all of us need a little break from life.  We are going to the Beatles themed 'Love' show by Cirque de Sole!!! I am so excited about that.  Pictures will be posted the first week of November.
Well that's it for now!! Have a great week!
PS Kim-if you read this-I am SO excited to see you next month!!!!

Oh-Sharon is living in York, UK and having a wonderful time.  She has a blog and is learning to use it, when she gets it working I will post the link.  But for now here is an update: She is making wonderful friends and settling in.  She loves her flat mates and is enjoying the British lifestyle-although she informed me that there is a language barrier.  She has friends from all over the UK and is really noticing the difference between accents. I will be sure to post updates until she gets her blog up.
