I'm off!

I can't believe this day is finally here! Three weeks ago I quite my job and packed up my house to move to Alaska to work for a travel therapy company.  This leap of faith would have been impossible without the help and support of amazing friends and the mad packing skills of my friend Natalie. Somehow she was able to pack everything I need for the next six months (and then some) in the back of my jeep.

Eleven hours and 700 miles later I am in Laramie Wyoming. The day started off a bit rough due to a bad cold and little sleep but it was nothing a little Afrin and an iced mocha couldn't handle. I am now a huge fan of satellite radio and my cars navigation system, especially since I have been told "my geography/navigation skills suck" . (Hey, Dave)  Iowa and Nebraska weren't all that exciting, just different shades of brown. Wyoming was beautiful! The weather was perfect all day, sunny and in the 40-50's.  I pray tomorrow is as nice and I will try to remember to get the camera out.
