Going Home (kind of)

I'm currently sitting in the airport, and am waiting for my flight.  It's been a very eventful last month.  I think I've done a lot of growing, and am certainly ready to have Shelli here with me.  I'll be arriving in Mesa this afternoon, and will definitely be missing the 74 degree weather here in Eugene.  I have made quite a few great friends since I have arrived, and all of which seem to be the long term kind of friends.

I have definitely been allocating my time here in a way that I didn't really miss much.  From working in a winery, to dancing at a gay bar; biking around the city, and drinking around a bonfire as an extra in an indie film;  learning how disc golf works, and exploring the local eateries...I pretty much got it all in there!  I really have to thank my housemates that I roomed with, because Adriene and Will really showed me a good time- I really owe it to them!

I'm excited to get back and see all my friends again before we head off into the sunset (or sunrise-whatever), and am trying to brace myself for the emotional roller-coaster that I'm about to jump on.  It'll be good to see everyone, though.  I've got three and a half days to get as much arizona in as possible, and then we are heading out!  It's pretty crazy for me to think about that, because it's actually a reality-not just an idea any more- I've been waiting to do this for a very, very long time.

This isn't the end of my journey though...I still have another 1300 miles to drive, and 6 weeks of Wine Harvest to report on.  More to come!
