Florida or Bust!

Okay, it's Friday night and I don't have to work this weekend. Thank God. ;-) Sorry about the lack of posts since I made this blog, but I've been pretty busy at work. A couple of times I started at 6 in the morning and then didn't get off until 1:30 am the next day. Woof. Overtime is great in short spurts, but it sucks when it becomes the norm, ya know?

So, about my move to Florida. Right now I live in Fort Collins, but I'll be moving to Florida two weeks from today. I decided to move to Florida about 8 months ago because I got kind of stuck in a rut here. I've always planned on going to college, but after I graduated High School, I just got distracted. Work, rent, you know the drill. Life happens. So I'm selling almost everything I own, packing the trunk of my car, and driving out there for a fresh start. I plan to move there and just live and work for a year to establish my residency, and then I'll start college. It's alot cheaper that way! I want to major in Astrophysics and minor in Math, so I'll be in for awhile! ;-)

Anywho, my brother-in-law Ty and his brother Trapper will be driving out with me. We'll be leaving here on August 1st at about nine o'clock at night. We're gonna head south on I-25 and drive through Roswell. After that we start heading east, and stop in San Antonio for a couple of hours. Remember the Alamo! We'll continue east after that through Houston, New Orleans and Tallahassee, then south again to Disney World! Four days and four nights in the happiest place on earth! That's gonna be fun. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them on my online photo album for y'all (I'm practicing my southern accent) to see.

After we get done in Disney, we'll head west to the Gulf Coast. I'll be staying with my Aunt Anne out there until I can find my own place and get on my feet. I'm still trying to work out the details, but it's looking like I'll be able to transfer to Color Wheel, a sister company of Kwal, where I currently work. With any luck, I'll have a job when I move out there. That's gonna help out a lot. I finally got out of debt this year, but moving to the other side of the country, away from everything I know; it's a little scary. The security of a job and some income will make it a lot easier.

So anyway, I will be out of Colorado in a couple of weeks. Bye bye mountains, snow and elk hunting. Hello white sandy beaches, warm weather year round and my future. Unfortunately I also have to say goodbye to my family for a short time. I'll try to visit as much as I can, but I'm gonna miss all of them. Treasure the time you have with the people you love, because they might not always be around. I'm gonna miss all of you while I'm gone!
