I'm Back

April 12-June 1
I'm home! What started out as an idea/dream years ago was accomplished, and I don't think I could express it all well enough in this blog. Yet, what my eyes saw, ears heard and mind thought along the way has and is engrained inside of me forever, no doubt.
Tomorrow I set off on the second leg of my trip, a homecoming of sorts, Denver to Vegas to _______? (TBD) I hear my nephew is walking like a champ and so I can't wait to challenge him to a race and spend some time with my family, some living out of state, so if you're reading this, clear the couch and stock the fridge--I'm coming ;) As for pix, I got a lot; video, the same.
I heard from my friend Kristin out in Korea, she's happy and livin' life full and with a great guy by her side. (AhSah!) She got me reflecting, more on the people along the way. Over the last few months I've met some amazing people, strangers one moment, friends around bonfires the next, absolutely the best part of this. So, thanks to you all, good times. Its been two years since I graduated from UNC --Greeley, Colorado people, not Chapel Hill, and well, I'm moving on into flight school next month as many of you may or may not know. The Next Chapter of things. Yet, I'm not going to let this last trip escape me too fast, and so I'm at my computer and ideas in truckloads for how to show you what this trip was for me, through the lens.

Its been a long day, as you can imagine lots of things are on my mind. I got back home from Steamboat on saturday, enough time to unpack and get going to Kindra's house for Easter on sunday. If you haven't seen the family for a while, be prepared, there are tons of new additions to the family, literally! But it was awesome, the food was great and seeing everyone was nice. I've been spending a lot of time watching Aiden, moving Natalie and Nathan's stuff out (they're moving to Glenwood Springs in about 3 months), organizing the things that go with me and those that don't, but most of all I've been able to relax with the family. I'm leaving tomorrow, kind of eager/nervous/anxious/excited and all that, normal stuff. I'm going to make it my focus to eat, sleep and breath spanish over the next several months, less english blogs and emails and a little more espanol...see, its beginning already! I've done my shopping, doing the packing and soon I'm off. I'm going to do my best to keep updated pictures going off this site, I'd love to hear how everyone is doing, and remember, check out the map on my site and wherever my tack is, I'll be. Uncle Bob Maes and I are talking about meeting up in Costa Rica, then to Buenos Aires, Argentina in June or July, if you got some time, give me a buzz via email, see what'll work. -nos hablamos pronto!! --ME VOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
