grecia

after a few nights of pondering my potential san jose homelessness.... i find myself in grecia...an unpretentious town nestled in the jungle. funny story actually. my last week of classes, a local girl by the name of claudia approaches me. she says "JULIA!!!! hey! how are you?" i had no idea who she was. turns out we have a mutual friend in montana...by the name of wade. i grew up with wade. wade knows claudia. wade showed claudia a picture of me via internet and told her to find me, basically.
claudia and i became instantaneous friends. she is beautiful, outgoing, positive, super friendly. she is finishing up in costa rica with a degree in architecture about the same time that i am finishing up with my degree in psychology in bozeman. turns out we have very similar hopes for our future...and already have planned excursions for after graduation.
claudia was gracious enough to extend her beautiful home to me. so here i am. i feel blessed to have so many people around me that have my best interests at heart. life is good. and i turn one more page in the story of my life, and am looking forward to what is next......
