Adventure...soon

So, this has been a very big week for me. I got my paycheck today and bought a round-trip bus ticket to Colorado Springs. One of my good friends successfully convinced me to visit this fall, and I'll be hanging out for a little over a week at the beginning of October.

I've always known I would live out West someday, and this trip might show me that Colorado Springs is a place I can go. There's people who are excited to meet me and already want me to live there...people I haven't even met or spoken to yet. That's crazy.

I can't wait to walk in the sage again...see the mountains...

In the meantime, my park ranger job is ending two weeks sooner than it was originally going to. Those two weeks between my last workday and going to Colorado are going to be interesting. I'm going to try to get a job at a security company one of my friends works for which he says is always hiring...but I won't be able to even get that until after I get back. So, my new roommate is going to show me how to shop for cheaper groceries so I can really save money. I don't really know how to shop efficiently (or find good coupons) or how to make much food, so this is going to be really helpful.

Eh. Jobs.

Speaking of new roommate, by the way: we're going to try to start a prayer group here in Lansing at the house, one where we're not just doing some religious ritual and going through all the same motions. We want to actually seek and know God. We've  been having some great discussions over the past week since he moved in, and I'm super pumped. Lansing needs some people who are excited about following Jesus, and he came at the right time.

Anyway, people are waiting for me to finish this, so my thoughts are kind of cluttered. I guess I'll just be done.

Also, I have been labeled an "idea guy" because of by excessive use of the phrase, "You know what would be cool? If......"

Ha.

Peace.
