Okay first, I'm so sorry it has been so long since I posted. It has been a crazy couple of weeks. So take a journey back with me (let's say about a month!)I month ago I was finishing up my job on "American Cowboy" a new show for Animal Planet. It was an awesome show to work on and will be even better to watch (I'll let you all know when it will premiere!)
After I finished on that my mum came out to California with my little brother Atticus and we did the whole vacation thing, Sea World, Lego Land (overrated by the way), Knott's Berry Farm, Malibu... it was an awesome week of running around.
Then my mum took Isaac back to Philly by plane and I cleaned and waited for the moving company to come... they loaded my stuff... only charged me $90 more than I thought they would (thank God) then it was off to head across America.
I spent 3 days (17 hours-day 1, 13 hours-day 2, and 14 hours-day 3) driving across this amazing country. My pup Milo wasn't too happy about the long days but he handled it like a pro! I arrived in Philadelphia ready to sleep and stretch out!
I have been back in the Philadelphia area for a week now, and so far I don't miss California at all (sorry guys!) I miss the people that have been fixtures in my life for the last 7 years but that is about it. It's good to be home.
Next week I have an "interview" with Banyan Productions based here outside Philly and I am hoping they have something for me to work on. I need to start working soon (I hate unemployment!!!)
I'm in a relationship with a wonderful wonderful man named Steve. We had talked on the phone and through email for 2 months before I got back to the area, and then when I got here we went out and let's just say there was an instant spark between us. So fingers crossed ya'all... I need some good relationship mojo with this one... he's quite the catch...
Any who that is what is going on. I'm taking RWI and heading to Haiti in September and then maybe to Ecuador in January, but that isn't definite just yet. Isaac is loving the East coast and the weird weather we are having here right now, but it's great to be home!

Glad you guys made it home safe and sound!! I would LOVE to travel to any part of Africa some day!!
Also know you're a great catch for the lucky fellow! You have a big heart!
Hi my name is Miranda and I live in Pittsburgh. I have been following your blog since you went to go get your son. I have prayed for the both of you and would some day like to meet the both of you. I have a 2 year old that I tried very hard to have but have always had a heart for adoption. I am truly amazed and encouraged by your love for him and even at a young age. my email address is miryum06@yahoo.com
Love the picture of the mountain and cloud.. the cloud looks like a hand reaching down over the mountain!
Congrats on the big move.
Glad to hear that you are back and safe in Philly, and glad to hear that you have found the man! =)
I might need to ask you about moving company next year. I think I am about done with Cali also, thinking it's about time to head home to Boston. *sigh*
Hey, someday if RWI really takes off, let me know, I do want to work for you. I'm actually thinking that once I move back to Boston, I want to take couple of months off and sign up for some volunteer programs in a foreign country with Cross Cultural Solutions. I think maybe helping out RWI wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Hi,
I've posted on your blog a few times before.. I've been following it for a long time now.
I sort of need your help, if at all possible (maybe post something on your blog as I know you have many many readers). My husband and I are in the process of adopting from Ethiopia. Our file has been there for a month, and we have paid all our fees. We found out on monday that our adoption agency has gone bankrupt (apparently there was a 'misappropriation' of funds). We are trying to get as much publicity as possible so that the government may step up and help out.
I've been sending the below post to everyone I know:
We need your help and support to protect the future children of families adopting internationally through Imagine Adoption. On July 10, 2009, Imagine Adoption, a government regulated agency in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada declared bankruptcy (Globe & Mail, July 14, 2009.)
It has been reported that there are more than 500 Canadian families who have been directly affected by this development. This number translates into an even greater number of children yet to be (or recently) adopted by Canadians.
Please support our cause by signing this petition and encouraging all your friends and families to do the same. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/SaveOurDreamofAdoptingInternatio/.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
