The desert is beautiful, better than winter


For all those concerned, I am back in Yuma, Arizona, the hottest metropolitan area in the US. The high today was a blistering 86! A figured I should give a little more background information on myself as we go forward.

I was raised an Army brat and travelled all over the world by the time I was thirteen. So, upon high school graduation, I decided to leave the beautiful desert and head to the chilly oasis I call Omaha, Nebraska. I spent the last four years there and ended up with two pretty awesome things: a college degree and a kickass girlfriend. That's right, the one on the right is all mine! I know, she's out of my league, but I have some incriminating photos of her so she has to stay with me or her evil plot will be revealed! Anyway, I just wanted an excuse to put her up on the site and she looks way better than me with my diploma.

After receiving these two awesome gifts, I decided to give a little back and join the Peace Corps and go to Kyrgyzstan. I have been studying about the country for the past week and will be updating everyone on the country. Until then, here is the wiki article about the country for those of you (like me, 2 months ago) who haven't a clue where in the hell I am going.

After all of that, I have to mention that this blog, currently, is being sponsored by Baas Insurance of Yuma, AZ and I am happy to say that 15 minutes can save you 15% or more on your car insurance. Give'em a call at 1-928-726-9610. They'll hook you up GEICO style. Mention this blog and get a free gecko doll! (And by sponsored, I mean my dad won't stop bothering me about putting that stuff on, so don't be surprised if I never mention it again).

You can't blame you dad. He is financing your current internet use, as well as food and shelter. :)
