Wyoming bound!

Ok, I know...I just got back to North Carolina from Texas, now I'm taking off to Wyoming??? Well, we've had this planned for quite some time, and there's no way I was going to miss it! I'm just glad that my new boss said it was ok for me to go. :D

So, tomorrow after work, I am driving up to meet my stepdad, my brother-in-law Allen, and a buddy of his and we're driving to Wyoming! I know you're wondering "Why on earth are they taking off to Wyoming?" Well, when it involves Cheyenne Frontier Days, a rodeo, and a concert by The Great Mr. George Strait, I don't believe anything else needs to be said!

I started my new job today with the YMCA here in Charlotte, and I think it's going to be great! This Y is so organized, well designed, and well-run! It's about 3 times the size of the one I worked for in Texas, but I don't know if this new Y will have the same caliber of people that I worked with in Texas....Debbie, Lisa, Lorraine, Linda....they were wonderful!!!

So I won't be online for about a week because I'm not taking my laptop. If we're going to be camping out while we're out there, there's no point in bringing a computer. But I will have my Blackberry, so try me on it if you wanna get in touch with me.

North Carolina...I'm coming back!!!

Well, I have finished my time in Texas. I had my last day at the Grand Prairie YMCA, and spent the evening with some friends that I made while I was there. Texas has been a wonderful experience for me, but it's time to get back closer to the people that mean the most. My brother Casey and his family are still in Texas, but they will be joining us soon, and we'll all be within a reasonable distance from each other. It makes me very happy to know that. I'm looking forward to being able to watch my nieces and nephew grow up.

I'm also happy about being back closer to good friends. I had a conversation with a friend of mine who means alot to me, and they said that it has been weird knowing that I have been in Texas the past couple of years. But they are happy that I will be back in NC, and closer than I was before I moved to Texas. That means alot to me.

There's nothing better in life than to surround yourself with the people that you care about the most, and that care about you.

So I'm heading out in a few hours to make the 16.5 hour drive back to NC. I won't be able to check in for a little bit because of setting up new internet service, but I'll be back on as soon as I can!

Thanks to everyone in Texas that has been a part of my experience here...it was awesome!
