A really really hungry 40 year old man...

Gah. My toes are FREEZING! For august it has been WAY too cold. It monsooned for 3 days... which included and EXTREME temperature drop. We're talking down to about 40 degrees... in august. Even for Colorado that's a little extreme. The mountains looked beautiful with a fresh coating of snow though. =) So that was nice.

I saw my brother's new home! He's living a duplex on the edge of Fort Collins, (or at least the edge of the bigger city) it's sort of near the Football Stadium and the reservoir. It was a neat little house, two floors, with a really nice yard in back. He had a HUGEEEEEEEE closet in his bedroom. I'm excessively envious. Ben has a big closet in his new apartment, I guess, too. Why do all the people with NO clothing have huge closets? It's a cruel cruel trick of the world...

Lorin and I? Yes... we have... I think... one small closet to somehow split between the two of us! Unfair.

Anywho... I've been packing packing packing and i'm pretty much ALL done... finally! There are 4 times a year where i'm always like... "I have too much CRAP!" However, considering I'm fitting EVERYTHING into my car. I'd say I'm okay.

It's gonna be a LONG drive, with my dad. It can go one of two ways: We can get along really well and it'll be awesome. Or... we will NOT get along and it'll be sorta miserable. It'll probably be a bit of both, but i'm very excited for my apartment!

I am, additionally... REALLY sad to leave home. I cried for a while last night. It's just always hard being so far away... I always seem to feel this mix of guilt for leaving my parents, and even some regret about things I miss out on when I'm not home. But this is part of growing up I guess... and ROC is the right place for me. It is difficult to be so far away, if something bad happens it's not like I can just drive home in an afternoon or a day. Or even overnight...

I think Kelsie is here to pick me up!
Off on the road tomorrow!
I'll try to blog and keep you updated!
