And so it begins!!

Well here I am at the airport, it s about 8:20 and I have about an hour before I'll take flight. As usual I am traveling in style... oversized hoody, jeans I wore to the barn yesterday, and my stinky boots. I packed all my stuff before thinking about how I would need clothes in the morning. So we can all have a moment of silent for the person seated next to me on the plane. It has been a crazy last 24 hours both good and bad. I cried a lot saying good bye and addressing unfinished business in CO but I am incredibly blessed by the few people in my life who will continue to support me from afar.  I am both nervous and excited. I feel like I have been the whirl wind the last few weeks trying to get all the things I needed done in order to leave. I hadn't give much thought to the fact that I am actually leaving until yesterday. I have both reservations and excitement but I suppose that is to expected. Hey, all last winter I wished for adventure. To leave and try new things... So here I go. I will try to get some pictures of the area once we arrive. So for now I will leave you all with the poem that has been ringing in the back of my head since this all started.

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
