'It's gonna happen...the way it's supposed to happen.'  That's Jordin singing to me in Laura's cute Chicago home.  What a blessing to end the tour with a visit with an old friend!!

My heart is sad yet full.  I am again blessed with great experiences and meeting some wonderful people on this last tour.  Of course, it had more than its share of low times, as well, many of which I have shared, but that's life right.  And I'm thankful for the experience - all of it.  That's what makes us, right?  We grow and stretch, shrink back a bit and try to just take each day at a time.  I saw one of my favorite quotes yesterday.
Live fully. Laugh often. Love always.  I did a lot of this these past 11 weeks and am glad for it.

Not sure what's next job-wise.  There's a chance Celtic will go back out in the spring and a chance that I'll be on it again.  I also have a lead with our R&B division out of Atlanta for a Feb/Mar tour so we'll see!  In the meantime, I'll be hanging in Chicago through the weekend - visiting Laura, enjoying the sights and sounds of Christmas with Trina and Karen - then it's off to Seymour to create some holiday memories with my sister and her family.  I'll fly back to Denver C'mas day to have dinner with my bro.  I now have two new temporary homes in Colorado!  One just a few blocks from Scott's place - 2-3 bedroom condo with a roommate.  And a ski share with 11 others in Silverthorne, though most of them will be there on the weekends so it'll be quieter when I'm up there Mon-Thurs.   Woo-hoo!!  It'll be nice to settle in to a home in Denver, as well as, in the mtns as I'll be splitting my time between two.  It's been wonderful to have offers from friends to stay with them on weekends, etc, but it'll be good to have 'my' place - something that the road definitely does not allow!  Which isn't bad overall, as you know for me.  I am loving the road and living on a tour bus just fine!  Don't want to be too settled at this point in my life. :)  (side note:  apparently I say 'at this point' a lot.  After some thought, I believe it has to do with my fear of commitment.  Will have to tackle that again one day!)

Well, Laura and I are about to head out to Lizards for some tacos and margs.
