Dear family and friends,

My departure is a week away. I am busy trying to organize and pack my things. Mary Nelson has been kind enough to allow me to live in her guest room for the past month. So, we've been staying up late and enjoying each other's company. So, in between organizing and packing, I need the frequent nap. Progress has been slow:)

My job will be teaching primarily children at a private English school in Tokyo. The schedule is not yet set, as the school is creating a new position. I am looking forward to this new adventure. It makes me very sad, however, to face this without being able to discuss it with my mother. I think we would have found common ground in teaching.

I am also thrilled to be moving abroad once again! Several of my friends live near to where I'll be living. I'm excited to reacquaint myself with them.

Well, this letter is really just a trial run for me. Most of you know that I am not into computer stuff, so Christa is giving me a lesson on how to do all this stuff. I would like you all to know, though, that I made the index page all by myself. And, I am very proud of it! More to follow as soon as I have something to share!

Love,
Allyson
