It's been a while, but there is much going on in our world. For one, I just finished college. Completely and totally done with furthering my academic pursuits and now I'm looking forward to what the future holds. I'm embracing this new chapter in my life that frankly, I thought may never come. It'll be interesting making money instead of spending it, anyway.

Sam and I are moving out of the apartment that we've called home for three years now. We'll be putting about 50 miles between us and our old home! It's bittersweet. I'm starting to become more and more nostalgic as moving day nears. I find myself paying tribute to the old days, and the six years worth of memories I have made all over Fargo. I think I'll miss downtown the most - all those long, chaotic nights filled with laughter, friends, and pitchers of Honey Weiss. It makes my heart sing. Sam and I seem to be the last to leave this college cozy nest - my closest friends have mostly disappeared into adulthood - taking them all over the state for their very grown up jobs, love interests, etc. It's exciting to be making our big move into our adulthood - a new chapter for Sam and I as well as our kitcats Simon & Leinie.

Fargo is experiencing its annual flood. The dikes are already doing their job, holding the Red at bay. I wont miss this after we move, but I'll miss the March Community Togetherness that encourages Fargo-Moorhead's best. Hopefully we will have timed the move nicely so that we wont have to deal with potential evacuations or traffic concerns. I have faith that things will work out for us.

Today, Sam & I went out for lunch at the Mexican Village where we have spent many margarita fueled nights. It was a quiet, sunny day. And after the rich, heavy food we decided to walk a bit of it off downtown. We took a post lunch stroll to the Main Street bridge that connects our two cities. Standing on all that concrete, looking out at the rebellious Red River was lovely. There was enough wind coming from the North to make the air crisp and make us appreciate the strong spring sun. I took a few photos here and there to commemorate Fargo Flood '10.
