First Attempt

So the time at last has come. I suppose we all enter the world of blogging one way or another; whether is is because we have grown up and we want to keep in touch with friends and family that come and go, or because new adventures have started in our lives and we want to share that with the world. I wish I had such an occasion to start out my blog, but alas it is a Saturday night and I have nothing better to do. And so, on this evening of nothing, I will begin my tale with a narrative as to who I, the author, am.

It would be near impossible to share the details of my life that have shaped me into the person I have become, but there is always a beginning and I shall start there. I was raised in western Washington and as such, I love oceans, forests, lakes, rivers and mountains all within a 30 minute distance. While I am not an outdoors enthusiast whatsoever, I enjoy hiking, swimming, and being outside just as long as I get a bed at night and a shower in the morning.

I have a wonderful family; and honestly they are the only ones who will most likely read this anyway. We all enjoy music, reading and gardening. In fact, it is rather normal for us to spend the holidays in the same room reading a book than actually talking to each other. I always found that relaxing really. Unfortunately, I usually find my thought patterns are influenced by what I just recently read and since I just today finished the Twilight series, I am currently considering how cool my life will be when I become a vampire. Lets just say I would rock.

I am currently studying to become a doctor, most likely a forensic pathologist, by working towards an undergrad in Public Health : Health Science. I attend BYU and while I like Provo, I miss the forests I grew up in.

Nearly two and a half years ago I served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Japan Tokyo Mission. I love Japanese everything and I am proud to say that it isn't because I was a greasy anime kid in high school. To put myself through school, I work as a Japanese teacher in the Provo Missionary Training Center. I have a group of missionaries that I teach for 3 months, from how to be a missionary to how to speak Japanese. I absolutely love it and I just said goodbye to my 11th district today (they head to Japan on Monday).

I suppose that is sufficient for now. Like I said, I bet only family members read this so they know everything already.
