Many of you know that our daughter Amber will be graduating high school this spring.  She applied and was accepted into the Arts & Technology program at University of Texas at Dallas and is hoping to major in video game design while there.  Ever since she found Pokémon on TV and has played the games, she has been entranced by Japanese Animation.
