I am actually writing this email from America. I had to come home, because my family has suffered another great loss in this same year. My Grandmother passed away last year and just a couple of weeks ago, her husband passed away as well. They were both my mother's parents and we lived with them off and on for many years. I felt it was best for me and for my family if I came home for a short time. I am amazed at the utter disregard of everyone here to the "great changes" I believed had occured in me. It seems, to them, that I am the exact same person.

I will be returning to Morocco in a few days with some sorely needed supplies for myself and my girlfriend, Stephanie. Unfortunately, there are not many entries of the letters I have been writing on the webpage, because they have gotten lost. BUT!! On my trip home, I have picked up some software to help me keep the website up a little better. I will be using Paint Shop Pro and Dreamweaver 2 back in Morocco, so hopefully things will go a little quicker and smoother.

I worked on the Argon website while I am home to try out some of the new bells and whistles, so see what you think of my first foray into the drag and drop world, rather than relying on HTML solely. I feel like I was able to get ALOT done in a much shorter amount of time.

I definitely feel like I need to go back to Morocco. One year is not nearly enough. I miss my friends and family here, but I feel I DO have something to complete there. And I sure do miss Stephanie as well.
