I sure like it here

OK, so the average house is expensive as hell here, but dude, I'm sitting here and seeing the entire horizon is filled with mountains, all snowy and stuff. I mean, how cool is that?

I'm incredibly annoyed with the whole airline failure today, but in a lot of ways it's also nice to hang out with Joe and Kristen (and Nina) without the giant crowd of people. Wearing pajama pants and being bare foot in their house feels nice, you know? And Louie the cross-eyed cat is hanging out next to me.

Joe is an architect, and he recently went independent. Kristen also works from home. I look at that, and I'm envious, because that's precisely where I wish I was. The great irony is that having a baby didn't cause him to worry about holding down a day job, it pushed him out to realize he wanted to be independent. Granted, he's seven years older, but that took some balls.

Yeah, I know where it's going for me. It just helps to verbalize it and give myself the gut check to understand what I need to do. Diana and I are itching to get out of Ohio. It's not fair for me to say Ohio sucks, because I don't think it does, but we want out. I've lived there my entire life, and just saying that sounds shitty when I've been to so many places that are so much more interesting.

Anyway, a couple of pics on Facebook, if you haven't already seen them.
