Fly-bys and other fast things

I actually found out that people read this thing. My reaction: huh, who knew?

Scott and I ran into an anniversary recently and I wanted to at least document it in some small way.

On May 20 or 21, Scott made the grand  announcement that he had been unemployed for one whole year. One year! Can you believe it? One year since we left our jobs in Chicago, and now one year since we voluntarily became homeless and traveled around to find a new home.

This year has flown by. I feel like for the years we lived in Colorado, time did not really move. We were in some strange time warp where we would forever be the age we were. But now...now time is making up for that and claiming its due right.

After a year, it's worth thinking back and asking, "Well, was it worth it?" And I chuckle, and admit, "Yes, it was all very much worth it."  We love where we are, who we are, and who we are around. We love the mountains nearby for snowboarding and the wet Pacific coast nearby for getting away from it all. We even love the grey weather.

This summer will be spent on the road again, but much more locally.
