New month... New journey... New chapter

And so begins this new chapter in my vita... Unemployed, with a degree and teaching license...
Off on Wednesday to Santa Fe to watch the 2 boys who mean so much to me. For one month... And to put out some feelers out there regarding jobs.
Last nite mi amigos had a fiesta for me (I would say caliente fiesta, but you can't have a bonfire in a storm.) a lot of my friends seem to think I'll be moving out there. I can't say I would be unhappy with that... Watching the 2 greatest things in my life grow up, looking to see snow-capped mountains through the spring even though it's in the 70s? Spending free days hiking up to 8000 feet above sea level, exploring Indian ruins, attempting bikram yoga mountaintop, exploring the Los Alamos story, and, in down time, savoring SOapapillas and juice Popsicles made by Zachadoo... And of course playing guppy on nick jr.com.
My life here is safe, comfortable, stable, and just itching for a change. I'm 28. How much younger am I gonna get? I've sworn off dating (just for the time being)... How much SINGLER am I going to get? How much more unemployed and childless am I gonna get? And yet... How much more bold, brave, and adventurous can I be by taking such a giant leap?
The one thing that keeps 1 of my feet here in Indy (because the other one has been in Santa Fe since I left April 1), is my folks. And I can't leave them. Theyre my world. In a perfect world, they'd come out too and we could all be together.
Any who, tomorrow I officially go clean up my room (It's all packed and emptied), turn in my badge and keys, maybe do a lil victory dance, then go get some contacts I can actually see out of, then meet with miss Courtney for lunch... I suppose I'll start packing and such then.
Now I'm off to bed. Next entry will be better
