I have a test date in Anchorage AK for PD in July. Wow, I would love to live there and serve! Still waiting on my Peace Corps interview to be scheduled as well, my recommendations need to get their butts in gear =P.
I forgot to get more pictures >< a little bit on my mind with my cousin coming back from Basic and selling all my possessions. I had a storage unit with all my stuff in it from my “old” life and have been selling it and preparing for a garage sale. I only want to have my clothes a good book and a backpack with all my belongings.
I also have been helping my family a great deal… my mother and brother are relocating to Nashville and I have been “cleaning house” here helping them get rid of all their stuff so they can make a easy clean move. I don’t know where I will be going yet, the opportunities have not all come full circle yet for me to make my decision. I still think the Peace Corps is the most valuable and would provide me with the most growth and opportunity. It also would supply me with what is needed once I return to finish my adventure.
I have really taken to biking… With the right gear and time to adapt I think I won’t need a car anymore. Between biking, public transit and greyhound I can get anywhere and stay healthy, help out mother nature and save some green. I really need a new seat, and fenders for the rain but I am trying to save all the money I can for these upcoming tests and interviews. Other then that all is well and chugging along. Really need to get more pics, sorry!

Great to hear that you are still positive. I hope God will show you soon what He has planned for you.

Jason:
Frank F. and I completed your Peace Corp recommendations … I’m sure they’ll be anxious to schedule your interview once they have processed them.
Frank says you should ditch the bike, and get yourself a sled and some dogs / wolves (I’m guessing Frank is thinking practical transportation, but I’m thinking you’ll need them for warmth during the long lonely nights in Alaska). Besides … you could take on the challenge of running in the Iditarod.
I thought Potsdam would have cured you of living in frigid climates … hopefully the Peace Corps comes through with an assignment to Africa before you get frostbite.
The neighborhood, and work aren’t the same without you … you really need to swing through Virginia on your way to Nashville, Anchorage, or parts unknown !!!
Keep in touch.

Man has this site slowed down. Jaybo, good luck with everything. Hope the Peace Corp works out. That would be a pretty interesting job.
