Home on the Range

Well now that I am back in MN my body is getting used to the cold once again.  I am enjoying the snow since I haven't seen it in a few years.  Ask me again in a few months if I am still enjoying it when I am scraping it off my car every day.   Slowly but surely the family is filtering in.  My grandma has decided that she doesn't want her christmas tree up this year and she wants us to use paper plates and I for one can't wait to hear Ryan's reaction to that change.  Ryan is our biggest advocate for keeping family traditions alive...he will not be happy.  As for myself I am finishing up all the last minute paper work for my new job and then I will be headed east after the new year.  I just found out today that an old friend of mine will be joining me on this leg of my adventures.  I am thrilled!  She loves to ski so I am hoping to get back into it since there is some great skiing out there.  Emily will be joining me on my cross country drive.  The ipod is full of good tunes and our first stop is GRACELAND!!
As for today I am off to do some catching up over lunch with another old friend! 

What's next...

My current assignment is coming to an end and I am starting to look forward to what comes next.  I took a job in Lebanon, NH.   Yes, New Hampshire.  It is the home of Dartmouth College. I will be working at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital.   It wasn't exactly where I pictured going next but I think I will enjoy it. I am excited at what I might learn there.  I have never really been to New England so I am pretty stoked for some good skiing and some even better seafood.  I am going to miss the sunny days of california but not the traffic.   Before this new job begins I will be on a completely different type of adventure....a road trip!  I have to travel from phoenix to new hamphire in less then a week but the good news is that I think I have talked my good friend Emily into joining me!  Graceland here we come! 

More on that adventure to come....
