In From Down Under

Well, Damien's mom has arrived from Australia! She had quite a long flight. I think all told it was more than 24 hours of traveling. Yikes! But she is here safe and sound. We took her to Michela farm in Southern Indiana yesterday to see sheep being shorn. Also, so she could see the place where we spread my brother Hadley's ashes. She is quite fascinated with the different accents found here in Indy and Damien took her on a bus ride which was quite entertaining. She brought a bunch of photos of Damien when he was younger and some of them were SHOCKING! Maybe I will try to post some!

My job is very very busy now as we are getting ready for a huge Gala this week. There will be many important Japanese and Indiana business leaders there and there is still a lot to do for our office before the event. It is a whole new world for me but I am really enjoying it. Damien has been volunteering with us and actually designed the program book that all the guests will get at the Gala dinner. If anyone wants to see the website of my office it's www. japanindiana.org It isn't the best website but my picture and short bio are on there under "About Us" and then "Staff".

We have bought tickets to San Francisco in August to see my best friend Heather's wedding and spend a couple nights in San Fran. We are very excited about that. And in 12 days I will no longer be Ana Roof, I will be Ana Zekants! (my business cards already say it) I am so excited and happy to be getting married to such a wonderful guy. We are very lucky to have found each other.

Well, I don't have much else to report right now but I will write again after our trip to Chicago, the Gala dinner at my work, and our wedding/reception.
PS-I posted a few pictures on my Yahoo site under "Indiana".
