Watch the movie "Runaway Bride" and you will understand why I named my blog this. It seems like most things I have done in life have been for others or tend to be the interests of others. And although I have enjoyed this and do not regret anything, I am ready to make my life my own. Yep at 27 yrs old I am ready to discover me and what I like. And after years of moving, maybe I can finally find somewhere to grow roots. And thus begins my adventure...

Leaving Las Vegas (sniff...sniff)
I remember 4 yrs ago I went for a run my first week in Vegas and I was listening to the following lyrics from a Tom Petty song. (Well it started out down a dirty road. Started out all alone. And the sun went down and I crossed the hill. And the town lit up and the world got still. I'm learning to fly...) I remember thinking, wow what a town and how different and how small I felt in that crazy place called Las Vegas. I had no clue what to expect. Well 4 years later and I have so much to take with me. I am so thankful for the people and experiences that were shared in Vegas.
I have decided to become a professional mover, because for the last 2 weeks in Vegas, I had more adventures, nights out,and meals with friends then I had the entire time I lived there:) It is so true, that you really don't know how much youhave until its too late. I was able to have one last butt kickin' with my bootcamp friends, said goodbye to friends from old jobs, friends fromchurch, family, current and oldroommates, coworkers. I went hiking, rode a harley, pool partied it up, went to shows on the strip, cliff jumped, wakeboarded, went bowling, ate at just about every restaurant in town and pretty much enjoyed life.
I wish I could write a personal message to each and EVERYONE of you to thank you for the impact you have made in my life. I have met so many wonderful people and I know I was supposed to cross paths with each one of you and I would not have had it any different. I hope toalways be friends and I thank you all for the love you have shared with me. I will miss you all. And please come visit!!! By the way, I have sooo many memories and they can not all be captured here and so many people have made my years in Vegas unforgettable and I will forever remember them in my heart.
