About the two links to the right: Joshua Bienko and Grace Spivak. Two amazing friends of mine. You can just click on thier name and it will take you directly to their blogs. Josh is in a graduate fine art program in Georgia. You can check out some of his amazing work on his blog (not to mention the wonderful pictures of his sweetpea baby Harper and his lovely wife Maryjo)! Grace is a friend that we made while we were studying in Prague, Czech Republic for our TEFL certification. Similar to when we taught English in Taiwan, Grace is teaching English in Korea. Her blog is full of stories, adventures, and cultural experiences that are truly unique. I hope you get a chance to check out these web pages. Ciao!

Snow in Buffalo

Well it officially snowed last night here in Buffalo. There is a fine coating of white all over everything this morning. The day before it was 65 degrees! Damien and I celebrated by eating ice cream for breakfast today (it's a tradition for the first snow) and we were out frolicking under the streetlamps last night.
We have only one month left of classes for the semester, so we are really going crazy getting all of our work done, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We have both been observing and doing a little bit of teaching at an urban school here in Buffalo. It's pretty wild, but we are really enjoying it. Student teaching in January.
Sadly, my uncle Crit passed away last month. He was only 48. I'd like to dedicate a poem by e. e. cummings to him and to my family who will miss him very much.
