... Taking chances...

I am Arizona Trail bound! Yay! While this has been something talked about and planned on for a long time, I only really decided I was going over the weekend. Maybe a little bit because I thought it may not happen if I got too excited, maybe because I didn't really think it would all come together... Probably mostly because amidst all my work hours I just really didn't have time to plan... And ultimately because I live in a really 'fly by the seat of my pants' manor which means I never really am good at making plans!

So I find myself in Tucson, heading into the mountains, ready to be free and simple for a while. Not sure how long... But for now.

It's risky... There are lots of unknowns... And what will happen is anyone's guess. Last week though I realized that as much fun as I have working at the 'bux (the same is NOT true of Kroger) and as blessed as I was to so quickly find two jobs that give lots of hours and managers that are really flexible and tolerant... I don't want this forever... And as I look towards the next chapter of my life there are amazing adventures to take, great people to meet, and big risks to take... And I'm ready to take them. I'm ready to move forward.

It seems kinda sneaky, going to Arizona for a bit. I didn't tell many people and didn't plan much, I'm not really sure how long i'll be gone. I'm sure there are people who are angry and disappointed in me, people who don't understand. I wish I could tell them that I really wasn't hiding things or trying to upset them, but I'm just living these days and taking advantage of all that is before me.

So... I'm off to Arizona for a bit, I love you all. I'll write some ridiculous things here, I'll hope to see you soon... And I hope you'll forgive me for being completely ridiculous!
