Resolution


I think it’s time to update my blog.


Turns out I’m not very happy sitting still. Figuratively speaking. I suppose literally, what I love most involves a lot of sitting.

Not even two months home from Europe and I’m beginning another trip…across my whole great nation. It seems like a small thing, but I guess it’s not. I guess most Americans don’t do this in their lifetime.

It’s funny. I’m not really an impulsive person. No one would choose “spontaneous” or even “flexible” as a word to describe me. Maybe adaptable. Yeah, that’s me.

But back to commitment. Every day that I’m driving, I’m going to stop and take at least one picture. Then I’m going to post it on my blog, maybe with nothing more than a caption. Sound good?

I’m also hoping to get up and run every morning before I drive…we’ll see which resolution lasts the longest.

So picture number one: the beginning of my journey is the end of the holiday season. It still feels like Christmas in the Colorado Springs airport, but tonight I bring in the New Year with my lovely former roommate Andie. Only five and half hours of driving until I reach her in Dolores, Colorado.

We’re going to party like it’s 2012.
