Welcome to Ohio

I'm currently driving with Jill to Cedar Point and trying to enjoy the
last moments of summer. In about a week I will be finally heading to
Spain. I've managed to avoid packing anything up until this point but
I really have to hit it when I get back.

So far this summer has been spectacular, but there have been ups and
downs, especially with by job at Caribou ending and the store
closing. Now I'm trying to scramble and get everything in order for
when I get back. It seems as if life is starting to move so fast. My
flight hasn't even landed in Madrid yet and I'm already starting to
focus on when I get back. Hopefully everything starts to slow down so
I can take stock of everything...

Saying hello to Ohio and Spain, but bye to Michigan.

Things That I Will Miss

Sitting at Caribou, I'm starting to realize that there's a whole lot
I'm going to miss in Spain. Besides the obvious things like Jill, my
friends and family, there are a number of intangible things I will
miss. I will miss nights like this when I'm sitting outside with
friends discussing unimportant topics. I will miss waking up at noon
with nothing to do, driving to get coffee and meeting my friends.
Things like this can't be replicated anywhere, only at home where all
these experiences exist. I think about these kind of moments quite
often with my trip approaching. Hopefully I'll make new experiences
and have something to miss when I get back from Spain.

In other news, I've started to get to know some of the people I'm
going to Spain with. So far they seem to be pretty interesting at
least, and some are interested in the same music. Hopefully this pans
out well.
