Tomorrow is my last day at Eastern Mennonite University. This place is home and I'm sad to be leaving it. At the same time I have a great deal of excitement for what happens next. Meredith and I will be heading to Israel/Palestine for the month of May, and then packing up our things for the drive out to California in August.

EMU has been my home as a student and employee for almost 6 years now - 3 as a student and 3 in the Admissions office. It is hard to find anything to complain about when I think about this place, and I can't wait to be a proud alum encouraging people to check out this tiny little liberal arts university in the Shenandoah Valley.

For those of you interested in following our trip to the holy land, the seminary will be tracking our groups with website updates and pictures. I will hopefully post some of my own on our return, but until then www.emu.edu/seminary is probably the best way to follow our trip.
