Well, the big move has been made and I am finally starting to settle in to an entirely new situation...a situation that I never thought I would be in and one that I couldn't be happier about. Its weird moving halfway across the country. I feel like I've been spending too much time thinking about all that I am leaving behind instead of using that time and energy to search out new opportunities and adventures here in Colorado. For the first time in my life I have to throw myself into a completely foreign situation and trust that I know what I am doing.

I think it was just time to put things behind me for a while and get a fresh start, a fresh perspective, and a fresh outlook on life. Now that I have had some time to settle in, I realize that this was the right move and that some things in life are just worth taking a chance on. I have no idea how things are going to work out or if they will work out at all...one thing I do know is that I will have given it my best shot and that I won't look back and wonder, "what if".

If nothing else, I have come to appreciate those things that I miss from back home. Knowing that I cannot hop in the car and be at a buddies house or out on the lake in 10 minutes is a bummer but it also gives me something to look forward to when I head back. I just booked my LOTW trip for August and I am looking forward to spending some time on my favorite lake with my best friend in the world: my brother.

Well, thats enough rambling outta me for one night. Ive never done the blog thing before but its nice to be able to get some things off of my chest when sleep is hard to come by. I'm sure there will be more to come later.

Keep blogging LazerBoy. Make sure you get out to the Rocky Flats bar for a Packer game. When I was there, there were lots of pictures of northern WI. It will help you feel at home.

My buddy just moved to Boulder, I'll let you know if I'm heading out that way.

Cook that girl friend of yours a nice meal.
