As I sit back and reflect on the happenings of the last six months, I can't help but be a little bit amazed. At times, it's alot to take in. I've been labeled as an "early mid-life crisis, visionary, quitter, free-thinker and burn-out." The best part is, I know exactly why I made the decisions I did and outside of my wife and two beautiful children, it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. That realization, in itself, is the most freeing.
To take the road less traveled has been an experience beyond anything I could truly put into words. It has been a wild ride. As we prepare to leave this beautiful valley, where I have lived my entire life, I am confident that I am aptly prepared for the next stage of the race.
Stepping into the unknown, I have a wife and children who love and support me and most importantly, who now know me. I have a connection to those closest to me, a choice that I have made and one that can never be replaced. I have a newfound understanding of what is important, what has meaning and who is there in the darkest hours.
If I may impart anything in the first stages of this journey, it is this, "live life to the fullest, live simply and live everyday as if there is no tomorrow." I hope you will continue this journey with us as we relocate to Bend, Oregon. Let the adventure begin!
Cheers
