In the mean time I moved to Boulder.

So I see the last post was on the 4th. Its now the 18th (happy birthday mom). In the mean time I packed all my stuff in my car and moved to Boulder Colorado.

Ive started getting more and more comments from friends and family to blog about the move. So I will fight off sleep a little longer to bring you the story of my move. (if you only want the synopsis: it went well)

so on the 10th my friend Josh (see picture) and I hopped in my car for the long haul to CO.


Heres josh prior to the trip hiding under a little army guy.

So the first day we went to Atlanta where we stayed with the family of a friend of mine. There Josh fought William with airsoft guns. I fought William with a starwars robot and darth maul. and everyone had a good time.

the next day we drove to kentucky. on the way Nashville TN let us down on the whole BBQ thing. That night we stayed with Josh's cousin. There we swung small children around by their arms and tossed them high in the air to land on the couch. the kids were nuts... your not supposed to ask for more wedgies or nuggies. silly kids.

anyway we stayed there an extra day and went to mammoth caves. self proclaimed "longest cave in the world" theyve only explored 368 miles of it so far. im willing to let them keep the "longest cave" title.

Next we drove to Kansas City. by way of St. Louis. Like nashville we were totally let down on the whole 'bbq' thing in St. Louis. I mean seriously folks if people are going to sell "St. Louis Style Ribs" you'd thing there would be SOMEWHERE in St. Louis that sold them too. Done right. But no you'd be wrong. Or at least it wasnt in any of our tourist books. and we didnt see any BBQ places anywhere in that city. we DID see this...


Atleast they had the arch that they are also famous for.

Continuing on that long day we ran across something that has since redefined Josh's life. I think he nearly had a stroke when he first saw this. he started snapping pictures of it like he thought he'd wake up and it wouldnt be there. heres one of them...

Yessir that vending machine sells Live Bait.

After forcibly pulling Josh from the Live Bait Machine we trucked it to Kansas City. Surprisingly pretty city. We stayed with friends parents there. They took us to good BBQ. and i mean GOOD. finally. more than made up for the nashville and st. louis failures.

The next day we completed our final push to boulder. we drove across Kansas. Not nearly as flat or treeless as I had been lead to believe. There were trees. and it was more gently rolling plains. if you want flat go out to the middle of Arizona.

Finally we arrived in Boulder. City-o-heavenly-mountains. Praise God!

All in all my take on America is that it is a beautiful place. Soooooo much amazing variety in landscape and people. Get out and see the country if you haven't recently.

So now i live in Colorado. hard to believe. but for the time being Im staying in an apartment with a direct view of mountains only a few scant miles away. glorious.

I even like my job so far.

Once i get a more permanent place to stay i expect you all to come visit.

ps. i apologize for all the grammer and spelling mistakes. Im way tired and just wanted to get this blogged for all my wonderful fans. lol.
