Exactly 10 days ago, I packed up and left the place I've called "The Crib" all 28 years of my life. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't an emotional experience. The motions I went through the last few days prior to departure were crazy. However, everything that has occurred since I reached my new locational canvas of adventure has affirmed my decision. All the ups and downs of trying to pull it off were certainly worth it.
Now, the desert is home. The city of Phoenix is really growing on me. Although I've visited many times, it just hitting me that this is home... and I'm super excited to be stepping out of my comfort zone in a place that has many opportunities that I like to offer. The people are pure comedy: they bring out the heavy artillery of coats and boots for 65 degree weather. I've gotten some stares for wearing shorts, but folks would be on the beach if it were 65 in Chicago right now (LOL).
Still maneuver through the higher education landscape, although I'm doing something completely different that shall be an interesting test. Still have plans to delivery great product through Honorable Mention (setting up shop, 2019 here we come). Still tuned into getting my golf game back right, in the perfect place to do so. Always remaining true to everything someone has taught me or I've taught myself, no matter what the address is.
I have the best companion ever to get after the good, the bad, and the ugly with. Very, very happy we're here. Overly proud of us.
Before I end, I just want say that if you're waiting to "be ready" for a major shift in your life, chances are your mind will play tricks on you and you'll never actually feel prepared. The high power got you, though. Your real family got you, too (even if they don't show it at first). Most importantly, you got you.
