Welcome.

As life seems to keep me moving from one place to another, I've decided to go ahead and start a blog to keep all of my friends and family updated (especially since anyone who knows me also knows the odds of me answering my phone or returning a phone call - just imagine how much better that will get with an international cell phone and 5-hour time difference....). The plan for now is to head back to Pittsburgh for the summer of 2011 and help fix up the family house, and hopefully spend some time outdoors kayaking, biking, hiking, climbing, horseback riding, and pool lounging. Then, sometime in August, I'll be moving to Dublin, Ireland for a year to get my masters in biodiversity and conservation at Trinity College. That's the plan anyway, but life never ends up where I expect, so I can't wait to see where this adventure takes me - and hopefully through this you will be able to see where the journey leads, too....
