Thanks everyone!!

Cynde, she has a big, long job description...basically I believe being a resident director for the students as well as assisting them with their projects (diving), etc... I haven't totally read it yet.

Yep, no excuses...first on my agenda...get a passport!

Amanda, not Andrea....I know...everyone gets confused with the 2 A names!

Ahhhhhhhhh, I am so embarrassed!!! No coffee yet, I should have scrolled back up and reread!!

And I had to do it in big letters!

WAY TO GO AMANDA!!!!!
