 I totally didn't realize that I never updated since I moved here!

I am living in Moffat, CO, right outside of Crestone. I am living in the largest alpine valley in the world! It's the size of Conneticut!

I am living on a 3,000 acre ranch by the name of Cho Ku Rei which means "All Goodness" in Reiki.

I am surround by the mountains on 3 sides.

There are 27 artesian springs here, 15 yaks, 34 chickens, 4 roosters, 2 cats, 2 dogs, a geothermal greenhouse, 2 quads, and more!

Crestone is said to be a spiritual mecca and there are multiple spiritual centers on the mountain.

There is a UFO watchtower down the road (UFOs are said to frequent here because it's one of the largest valleys).

The town is small. Population 90 or something.

I am studying transcendentalism and poetry and relating the transcendental movement to life today. Harold is studying Tibetan Buddhism.

Sage is here with us, but I had to leave my baby rats (which probably aren't babies anymore) with Zane in Oly because Ashley, my brother's girlfriend would not allow them to come here. My brother, Sean, lives here with Ashley, and their one month old Timothy Reilly!

It's beautiful here and really a change of pace. I love being able to collect my own drinking water, which come from a warm artesian spring off of the mountain, instead of just turning on the faucet. It's empowering.

I like being able to wear pajamas all the time and my glasses (you cannot wear contacts here since it is so dry, because they're likely to break in your eyes, because I know I am not likely to see many people in a day. It's pretty drama free. I definitely like that.

Oh yeah. I tried out my diva cup for the first time finally and am going to wait until next month to try it again...I got it in fine, but didn't have the directions with me when I took it out and frankly, it hurt like a bitch. I was too stressed out t deal with it, but really want to make it work. Oh well.

Oh. And I forgot to say that Harold totally cut nerves in his finger and had to go to the ER. DAMN YOU CUTCO! He was slicing a pre-sliced, but stale bagel. Blood was everywhere. I was freaking. He was staying calm. He was hospitalized, we didnt realize how bad it was, he was put in the trauma ward! Given Vicoden and Morphine! They wouldn't let me stay with him, which was sad. But he's a lot better now. He even went snowboarding today!!

Oh and Harold is considering transferring to Naropa or Bastyr to study Acupuncture. It's a little on down the road.

Oh I designed my own Nietzsche Tee-Shirt from a website based out of Columbus and it is awesome!

Oh yeah. I am trying to become an au pair in another country. We'll see how that goes.

Uh-Oh.
