So..I guess I live in Colorado now?

Hey there Friends!

I have had multiple requests to start blogging again...maybe because I move too much for people to keep up. I can see how it would be confusing. I still have people come up to me and ask I am still living in San Diego. Clearly not. 3 moves later I'm in Colorado!

Yesterday, the 24th, I hopped in my uHaul truck that was towing Lyle (my Jeep) behind it, and hit the road to Colorado at 9am. It was a bit of a rough morning because I may have gone to bed at 3am the night before...oopsy. But it sure was a fun night! Big thanks to mis amigos (you know who you are) for the great last night in Fort Worth. The drive was pretty good and I must say that I personally think I looked badass driving the massive uHaul and towing the trailer. There were a couple negatives to the drive though: 1. No CD player. (I'm kinda old school and still like those little discs of joy). 2. The AC kept cutting in and out. So I'd go through moments of sweating and then moments of cool air. I would assume it's what hot flashes probably feel like when your fifty. 3. I had to drive through Kansas. Seriously, I think the worst state I've ever driven through. There's just nothing. Absolutely nothing. Except a sign closer to the border that said, "See the worlds largest Prairie Dog!". As much as I was slightly intrigued...I kept driving past it. 4. The drive was 15 freakin hours. FIFTEEN! I made my stops quick. Really just stopped for gas and would grab food while I filled up, then hit the road again. Finally got to Denver at 11pm (12pm Texas time). As much as it was a long drive and I was pulling quite a load, it wasn't too bad. I got really bored, but luckily I had some friends calling me and keeping me company over the phone. I am currently hoarse from singing at the top of my lungs for so long. I also sang songs in funny voices to pass the time. And I learned how to drive with my left foot. I'm pretty good actually. Needless to say, I found ways to entertain myself.

You might ask yourself, ok Robin...so what the hell are you doing in Colorado?? Valid question my friend -- my answer: I don't know!! Well, I kinda do...but not really. haha. I moved in with my brother Chris, sister-in-law, and 1.5 year old niece. And am currently searching for a job in the outdoors. The fact of the matter is that Fort Worth had nothing to offer me in my career and I knew I needed to change locations to truly pursue what I want to do. So my plan as of right now: Live with brother, get part time job and save up some money, explore the glories of Colorado, camp as much as possible, then in January get my WEMT (wilderness EMT) and hopefully next spring or summer do my NOLS instructor course. That's the tentative plan. I don't want to say it's for sure because most my plans never go as planned.

So...I'm excited! I'm nervous. I'm scared. And I'm really sad to have left my best friends in Fort Worth. Had a little cry session today...not because I think I made a mistake or anything, but just because it's a big transition, there's a lot I need to do, and i really do miss my friends already. Although I feel lucky to be with family at this time in my life. We're going camping this weekend I think it's the perfect way to start off my time in Colorado.

Stay tuned! You never know what I'll have to share next....in all seriousness...I have no idea what it's going to be. haha.
