a plan

So....the official date that I leave Maryland is April 17th, 2008! My friend Alicia has offered to keep me company and join the cross country adventure to Denver. I wanted take a little extra time and enjoy some scenery of this country, seeing as I've never driven this direction....nor have I visited states between here at Colorado. So, we will make stops in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota and then to my new home in Denver. Alicia has a flight booked to fly back to Baltimore the evening of April 21st, so the plan is to arrive in Denver sometime that morning. I am so excited to spend some time catching up with friends and family along the way. This is a wonderful opportunity to see their stopping grounds. I think by the end of the month the trip will be confirmed for all stops with a little more detail as to how long, but for now I've drawn up a nice little estimate of visits/sleepovers and of course the travel time between destinations. The jeeper is officially in the shop now, so we'll see after inspection with a fine toothed comb (literally, haha you should see the comb....nah just kidding). She will be tuned up, maybe get some new wheels and tires....we shall see. Pimp my ride?! Haha. This is all bittersweet.....it is a wild mixture of emotions between absolute excitement for this new "adventure" that is really coming together in Denver.....and then being surrounded by everyone here in Maryland between roomies getting married, all kinds of parties to see people, and some quality time over dinners, coffee, etc.

By the way, one day I'll learn to control this blogging.....I always seem to start off simple and end up with a LONG post! I know I know...more frequently might help with the length.....and pictures....well....one day. :)
