I'm starting the blog up again. The past year has been a whirlwind. I left Detroit Jan. 24, 2009 - spent two incredible months traveling Nicaragua solo. I returned to Detroit, tan and skinny and full of joy. And then I left again, a month and a half later and spent the summer in Aspen, Colorado. I fell in love with Rocky Mountain life - sunny, dry air and lots of outdoor activity in any season. Though Aspen is about as far from reality as one can get, and I left after four months to follow love and wound up in Bozeman, Montana. A living portrait of the west surrounded by pink and white painted purple mountains. So, here I be.
Sometimes I can't imagine ever going back to where I grew up. Other times, it's all I want. I have my experiences, and I have the shadow of my perception of them. I have the desire to settle down, and I have the desire to keep moving. I'm about to turn 27, and I'm reevaluating once again. Because you see, I can't just "be." I'm a seeker and there is so much to see.
So, where do I begin?
That's the next post.

and finally, Montana. She speaks for herself.
