it's actually come!

i remember counting down the days until this day would be here. i started months ago and now, it has come time for me to leave. i think being so stressed and annoyed with everything helped make me ready to leave so that's good i guess. of course i forgot a very important part: the bike rack i'm borrowing. lame! but it'll happen and it'll be okay... deep breath... so i am off to west des moines, iowa to see my friend kristen. and my road trip extravaganza begins!
