One of the three times I went back to Colorado last year was to hang out with the old clan from college, specifically roommates and associated…
During all my travels last year, I did get to do many fun things, such as attending the awesome wedding of Lance and Nicole! I’ve known Lance…
I’m not sure what I want to say. I keep jumping all around in my mind, a nontemporalproximal place. The number of emotions that sweep over me remain overwhelming. I feel a sadness now that I’m back. I feel like I’ve died. I feel a great relief to be back home though. Yet, I hate…
