IRON CHEF!!!!!

So, as of Jan. 19th, 2006, this is the first time I've updated my account since I started it while coming back from Japan. The last few years have dfinitley been interesting if you must know. I've met an amazing woman by the name of Judy Wong. We are about to hit 2.5 years, and it's going strong. My family is awesome, my sister is married and is pregnant, and finally it is great to come home and be an entire family with everybody enjoying life.
As for me... I'm at another turning point in my life. I've been working for REI Co-op for the last 2 years and I am playing 2 roles within the company. I am one of the managers of the San Francisco Store (LOVE IT!!!) and I am a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Consultant for the Co-Op. Within the next year, I will either be in Seattle, working directly within the CSR team to regulate factory production of REI goods, or becoming promoted to an ASM at REI, or my parent's favorite... Going to Grad School... All are options in which I am really excited about.
During my free time, I usually hang out with Judy and our friends, hosting fun little events in the city, or I'm out with my co-workers backpacking, mountain biking, snow camping, and my newest adventure... Kite Surfing...
I live in the beautiful Haight District of San Francisco, and am always anxious to catch up with old friends. If you read this, definitley give me an e-mail. echen96@hotmail.com

People who are excited about life and enjoying everyday of it... So lets get outside and have some darn good fun!
If you're up to: playing soccer, tennis, doing a percussion ensemble, going to a musical, trying new restaurants, or doing some backpacking, mountain biking, or snow camping.... Or my all time favorite... Lets create some social change and take back our society from this crazy conservative backlash...
