After yet another long break...
I'm leaving on a jet plane! Okay, so I'm actually driving, but that doesn't mean I can't still sing an annoying song. I have a supposedly lovely apartment (let's hope the reality is as nice as the pictures) in an amazing place to live (called the "smartest city in America," and many other wonderful things), and I have most of what I own packed into a rather large collection of boxes. Though I won't have internet or phone for a while (as I need to pay the first two months' bills - everything necessary to survive - out of pocket), I have everything else set up that is necessary for my survival. The view is gorgeous, and I'll soon have a great community to work out and get in shape in.
I've already made plans to spend my birthday in Rocky Mountain National Park (backcountry camping... none of this crowded campsite bullshit!), and I plan on getting into climbing as well. I'm very excited (if not a little bit terrified), but it may be a bit before I know anyone in the area. Hopefully I can find some way to become friends with people with similar interests.
In a little over a week (a week for all practical purposes), I'm doing what I (and many others) have always said I'd (we'd) do: getting out of this state and starting a new life elsewhere. I'm one of the first I know who's actually doing it... and I didn't let excuses hold me back!
I've never felt so accomplished in my life. :)
