Outta Dodge

I am seriously ready to get the heck out of Denver. I thought today about the fact that, after next month, we have nothing keeping us here. (I have to finish this Auditing class to be eligible for the CPA exam so even after graduation I'll still be a student. Eek.) That's a freeing feeling. People keep asking me if I'm excited to graduate. Of course I am. I'm not excited to be finished with school- I love school- but I'm ready to cut ties with Denver. Isn't that sad? I can never put my finger on just why I haven't taken to Denver like I expected to. I just have not. I appreciate my time here. I think I've grown into a much more independent person. I think Jackson and I have grown as a couple. MacKenzie has survived a scary attack and is stronger for it (or so I tell myself. She's not talking about it.).

In addition to leaving Denver, I'm excited at the thought of having evenings. I cannot imagine having all 5 evenings to do whatever I want. Holy cow. I'm excited to read for fun. I have a long list of books to catch up on. I'm excited to make travel plans and not worry about timing of a class, exam or project. That has not really ever stopped me, but it has been annoying. I'm just plain excited. We still do not know for sure where we'll end up next, but I'm ready.

Jackson- let's roll!
