Cheyenne Bound

A year ago today I was putting my last couple of boxes in the U-Haul and saying goodbye to my family and friends. When I left Arizona, I had no idea I was about to embark of the biggest journey of my life so far. I was moving for a job...I had been laid off from the CPA firm I worked for in Phoenix and had a tough time finding a new job with the bad economic conditions. Long story short I  had been recruited to a local firm in Cheyenne, WY. I moved with the intention of staying for a year, waiting for the economy to recover and high-tailing in back to AZ the first chance I got. All my family, friends and everything I had known for the past 25 years of my life was being left behind in my rear view mirror. I moved into this little apartment that was literally built in the 20's. I spent the next 36 hours cleaning, crying and planning the fastest escape I could back home. I buried myself in my work for the next few months. Eventually I started making friends and feeling less and less homesick...well until the snow fell that is. I learned quickly that a Mustang GT isn't the best means of transportation in 2 feet of snow. Right before I left to go home for Christmas I went of my first date with Eric, I was amazed myself but I was actually kind of excited to get back to Cheyenne after the holidays. It is so funny today to sit here and think of how drastically my life has changed in just one year. I wouldn't change it for the world. Sometimes you have to take those crazy chances in life...see where it leads you! You might be pleasantly surprised...
