On April 25th, 2007 I stepped off a plane and back onto American soil.  It’s hard to believe it’s been a year.  I still miss it and the people I left there.  But I’m ready for the next step in my life, ready to get away from here and go somewhere new where I’m completely out of my element.  I’m excited and scared and I will always cherish the memories of my time in the Land of the Rising Sun.
