End of Summer.

So, my ten weeks of vacation are almost over. Andrea and I are making the drive back to Fort Worth this week. Last time we did it in two day, this time we decided to take our sweet time, after all it's not like we have jobs to get back to.. Anyway, her parents have a condo in Destin for the week so we're spending sunday through tuesday here. The water is magnificent shades of blue and green. It's warmer than the Atlantic, though tropical storm Claudette seemed to cool it off a bit. But, the beach is a wonderful thing. You cannot body surf in the pool, no matter how many waves you make. Next we are heading down to New Orel ans, to hopefully soak up some creole culture, and not get robbed. We will be in FW by Thursday.

This drive feels very different from the drive down here. Leaving Fort Worth I had a plan, I knew what I was doing for the next 10 weeks of my life. Now, I'm driving back to pack up my apartment, jobless, with no idea what is happening next. I'm always ok with this prospect of adventure. Life should be one. I plan on making my life a great adventure. But, of course, you still have to get paid to have an adventure. I'm excited to see where my career path can go. Also, I'm afraid I don't have enough experience and no one will want to employ me. But, deep down, I'm not worried, I know eventually I will have a rockin job that I love. I'm really excited for that day.

For now, I'm on a road trip, with my soon-to-not-be-roommate-anymore and we're hanging out and having fun. I know I won't get to be this free for my whole life. I'm going to live it up while I still can. And feel privilege and blessed to have the life I have.

And, I hope you feel the same about yours.

I really like that last sentence. It made me feel good, and I suppose that is because I do feel that way about my life. I'm happy to see you're having a good time. We'll talk soon!
