The Little Change: My sister finally got married. She has been with her [used-to-be] boyfriend for something like 12 years and engaged for several. It's about time. They're great. I wish them the best and had hoped that they would live closer. Plus, their wedding consisted of signing the marriage license and then having a Chipotle picnic up on the Colorado National Monument. What more could you ask for?
The Big Change: Goodbye California, hello Arizona! It's been 3 years, it's about time to move on and try something new. Seeing as how California is in a world of hurt anyway, maybe it's not such a bad time to be leaving. I'll miss the Pacific Ocean (and plan on keeping at least 1 surfboard to prove it!) but I'll be moving back to a small town much like where I grew up so there's a not a whole lot of shock there. I'm 95% excited, but 5% sad since I've been convinced for a long, long, time that San Diego was where I was supposed to live. It's been a good run and maybe I'll be back, but for now it's heads up and onward!
New Ideas: Or maybe it's a return of ideas long forgotten. Mountain biking is awesome! I forgot how much fun it is. It's completely different that road biking (which I love), but I'd forgotten how much fun varied terrain and flying down dirt trails toward pending doom can be. When back in Colorado, I went mountain biking with friends and reconnected with a bunch of the trails that I rode as a kid. Other than the face that the bike I had borrowed was steel and built for someone 6'2" and not 5'7", it was epic.
Priority numero uno in AZ... buy a mountain bike.
And to end with some pretty scenery from one of the hikes we did while there:
