Up Up and Away: An Introduction

Dear Blogosphere,

I come to you with one week left of my two-weeks notice to start the process of what I consider one of the craziest things I have ever done. I am so scared and its not just first week of school jitters it is an all encompassing, existential fear, but it is a beautiful, good fear too. I know that doesn't make sense but hear me out now. On the one hand I am lucky enough to be able to quit a job that I really do not like so I can pack up the homestead and move across the United States with my hubs-to-be and make a cozy little life for ourselves complete with new jobs, new careers, new friends and big adventures. Maybe this doesn't sound all that crazy to you, but I was the girl who came back from freshman year in Chicago so I could be closer to my mom, like live at home for the next 3 years plus pastry school, plus a little grad school. And we still head over for breakfasts and dinners during the week. As my mom puts it now I live an umbilical cord away. So can I cut the cord and move to Denver and like it? I don't know. But I want to try and I want to like it and I am going to document this journey along with the hubs-to-be. This will be a place to share the ups (and some downs), the job searches and hopefully interviews, the dinners and drinks, and just the whole process of finding our peace in Denver.

Carpe Diem,

Rache
