'When we find the perfect water we'll hang out on the shore just long enough to leave our clothes there'

     It is safe to say that fall has arrived. Today was the first day I've felt the chill of winter creeping in. I know this, in part, because of the large hole I discovered in the inseam of my jeans today. While rummaging through the closet my hands stumbled upon a pair of pants I haven't worn in quite some time. I was somewhat surprised they were pushed towards the back of the closet because I wore them often. Usually, I trust my intuition, which told me to pick something else out, but I'm one to roll the dice on whim and went for it. You win some, you lose some. Without getting into too much boring detail, today was a day in which I lost more than I won, but I'm ok with that.





     I haven't been writing lately for two reasons. First of all, I'm busier than ever trying to get my professional life in order, staying on top of school, and enjoying the massive amounts of visitors that have passed through my door recently. Secondly, I was in another one of those 20-something-what-am-I-going-to-do-when-I-graduate modes. The last time I stood in this position I chose not to deal with the tough questions and continue my education. This time around, I'm still not dealing with the tough questions and no, I'm not getting my PhD, so I'm just simply choosing to let it lie for a while. I'm quite over trying to 'figure it out.' Plans never go as planned so it's best just to live in the now. I'm tired of complications for complication's sake. What will be will be. Sounds cliché? Absolutely, but if you were to look at all the things that you thought were so horrible in the past you'd realize that at the end of the day bad things happen but you're still breathing (and if you're reading this, you can see too). Now obviously things like a death of a loved one is still going to be painful (I've been there, it still hurts) however, these events entered your world to teach you something and make you stronger. Needless to say, stressing out over what happened won't change what happened and stressing out about what you think could or should happen won't change what's going to happen (whatever that may be).

     Anyways, I digress (surprise!). The main reason I write to you today is to share some lovely images of fall in the Rockies. The Aspens are turning and it's damn beautiful out. If you are in the area, get yourself up in the high country.

Yes, I realize that this is horribly off balance, but look at what I was standing on
