In case you didn't get the email I sent out to my friends and family, I wanted to show you all the link to my nephew's artwork. This link is only a few of his paintings in a series he's working on. As they have more of his paintings imaged they will be posting them for all to see and I will keep you updated as this happens! You can also see a few other paintings on my facebook album. He is truly gifted and is using his talents already at a young age. I am proud of him and his accomplishments, as well as the way my sister is learning how to get his art out there for the world to see! It's so very exciting! (I love you Davis!)
The year was 1995. It was a time when big bangs and perms were on their way out, when music and fashion were in a very strange transition and these three high school students formed the bond of a lifetime. In the picture with my sister and me is a young woman named Yuka. She had come to our home on a one month stay two years prior. We enjoyed hosting her so much that my sister Alicia traveled the following summer to Yuka's house in Japan. We kept in touch through writing letters and sending care packages, so when Yuka expressed the desire to come to the United States and study with us for a year we jumped at the opportunity to host her again. She arrived for the school year in August and by May had bonded with our family in a significant way. Putting her on the plane to go home was a tearful event. I've been reflecting on these experiences over the last few weeks because I recently took a job with CETUSA . It will be my pleasure and joy to help host families like mine
