Giving credit where it is deserved: This is one of Seshie's posts that I had to pose because I'm big into the eval of my life.
If you had asked me a year ago where I thought I'd be in April 2010 I would have laughed in your face if you told me that I was going to go back to grad school... I might have wet myself if you had told me it would be at Duke.
Considering my bouncey ball lifestyle, I have traveled the globe and stamped my figurative passport with:
-Boone
-Blacksburg (big ups to the Liles!)
-San Diego
-Wilmington
-quality Carson family time in Western NC
-jury duty (that counts)
-Montana
-Europe! (with my most favorite girl cousin ever)
-13.1 miles on foot in Asheville (will definitely remember the hills next time)
-D.C.
-13.1 miles on foot in the OBX
-Linville Gorge
-Colorado
All in all, I was out of town for about 3 months (wish I still had that rent money!)
And I'm headed to Seattle in a few weeks to see one of my old time homies, Caroline. Followed by a week in Atlanta to help the bro move now that he has finished grad school. And not to be forgotten, a weekend of camping in West Virginia with Katherine & Jesse (separate tents will be had).
I will be the first to admit that I'm pretty blessed to get to rock out and jump around so frequently while maintaining my home base in Chapel Hill. Part of it is the flexibility of my work, part is the government allowing me an income through my student loans, and a major contribution is my nature of needing to go, do, see and never wanting to be stagnant. Don't get me wrong, I love nothing more than spending time at home (a future post), but I am a mover and a shaker, and I am always on the go. My Dad will shake his head at this because he tells me all the time that I need to slow it down.

I love how New York isn't even on the radar for trips. hahaha I guess the concrete jungle can't compete with real live mountains and hills....
ReplyDeleteI'll have to meet you 1/2 way. I like your lay out, btw!
It'll be good to read yours while you're reading mine and hear your voice through your typing. You're missed, girl. I've got a couple bottles of wine that are calling our names.
ReplyDeleteWe could give you Salem so you have company in your tent, if you want ...
