March 18, 2005 - I kept hearing from lots of people that my trip to Memphis and Little Rock wouldn't be worth it because it is so far of a drive. Then, when I actually made the drive, it seemed like we were in the car no time at all before we got to Memphis. This is somewhat of a weird trip for me because it is one of my last trips before I move to Florida, and possibly the one and only trip I'll ever take with Christie, depending on how things work out after I move. At work the other day someone said I looked like a big boulder was removed from my back, and that I looked happier, since I had put in my two weeks notice. I guess that could be because I know that this phase of my life is coming to a conclusion, and I am excited to start something new. The same could be said of this trip, although there are some other emotions attached to it. I'm not anxious about leaving Christie, but I am anxious to start a new job, to live in warmer weather, to start some new travels...it is a big trade off for me to leave behind everything that I've got in Cincinnati.
