Happy Belated Birthday, Fiona!
I did think of this prior to Sep 26th, but major distractions got in the way. Sorry, sis! Hope your birthday was FABULOUS!!!

In the Rockies
Well, Sylvester now has Colorado plates, and I have a Colorado license, and all my mail is coming to a Colorado address. It's bittersweet, but I know it's only the first small step of a larger step of leaving Minnesota.
Yesterday was my day at the DMV (only took three visits). Today will be my day at WorldVenture headquarters where I'll sign all the final paperwork and have my exit interview. I'm about 2% away from receiving clearance to book my plane ticket (which happens at 100% monthly support)! I still can't believe it myself. God's timing is flawless, isn't it?
The Rockies are beautiful. I'll never be able to explain it, but seeing mountains or being near them makes my heart sing in a way it just plain can't on the plains. I feel blanketed and yet free-er at the same time, perhaps because they're so familiar. Pikes Peak already has snow on it. I love winter and the general changing of seasons. God's creation is wonderful, isn't it?

Advice from my elders
In no way do I mean to demean my aunts and uncles with this post, but it was too funny:
I saw 6 of my aunts and uncles in the last 24 hours. It was intentional so that I could say good-bye before I head out for Germany (whenever that is). At some point before the actual good-bye, each aunt and uncle separately came up to me, placed a hand on my shoulder, got a very serious look on his/her face, and said, "Drive carefully, young lady/missy/Katrina." Obviously, in the context of my cousin's recent car accident, I know where they were coming from and very somberly replied that I would.
As I slid into my car, my Dad called to check on my estimated time of arrival at their home in Colorado. We talked for a few minutes, and then, as we were saying good-bye, he said, "Drive fast!" I was so shocked I laughed out loud. I love my Dad!

What every Husker fan dreams of
My first Husker game was a success! I've only been a fan since birth, thoroughly brainwashed and dressed in red since Day 1. Going to the game last weekend really was a treat. Thank you Uncle John, Aunt Janet, Uncle Butch, and Aunt Lori!
Pictures: me with Tom Osborne and Brook Berringer, the Sea of Red with the band on the field, balloons after the first touchdown, and me with my Aunt Janet.
