They say that Denver and Portland are sister cities - I suppose they are not identical twins! HA!
I'm in Portland, and this will be my place of residence for the next few weeks! I wonder what adventures I will have. Went with Katie, Maria, Adriane (boy), and Chris diving yesterday. I had a good time until I hit my stupid head on a tree and now I have a huge bump on it! It made me fall to the ground. I even saw that stupid tree there, how did I run into it!?! Hmm... I suppose I lost my mind for a few seconds!
Well today we're trying to figure out how to go backpacking at South Sister - should be a good time, just figuring out a car to use would be helpful!
(My face is swollen from some cats - not a pretty sight! I hope that I'm not around too many of those in the next month or so! :) )
Well ... that's all for now...

Bitter-Sweet.
You know I have a bittersweet feeling about only have 8 more days in Denver. I hate to go, but it's time. I will miss this place, but the new adventure will only stimulate more growth and opportunity! (At least that's what I'm telling myself!) I'm sure it will be more fun than I know of, but I gotta tell ya all this change in one year has been interestingly stressful, oh but SO good!
A shout out to all my friends that have encouraged me along the way and helped me get ready for this trip! (Especially Katy Young! Girl you rock! Thanks!!)

Movin' to Central America!
WOW - it's here!
I know many of you heard me talking earlier this year about moving to Mexico, but a new opportunity came up and I jumped on it! We'll see what this brings - everything happens for a reason - right?!?
Well I'm headed to Xela, Guatemala for Spanish Immersion School. I'll be there probably about 6 weeks or so, and then evaluate the sitatuation and figure out what's next. Maybe stay another few weeks to perfect the spanish, or hit up Honduras for a vacation, or start traveling Central America!
I'll be staying with a host family for the time in Guatemala, and then who knows what! It should be a fun adventure, and for those that know me well - this shouldn't surprise any of you! I mean let's just recall quitting my job to drive to Alaska the next day, or staying an extra week in Honduras... just to name a few!
I suppose that it's time to experience a bit more of the culture, serve a few cool people, and maybe even learn something new about myself!
I'll try to update my blog as much as possible, but who knows when I'll get a chance to hit up a computer!
Off I go!!!
YAY!
