Because I Can

Here's the thought. I was kinda in a canyon sized rut in my life in Utah. I wasn't sure what to do or how to change that. It finally hit me. Move. Change my world. See what else life has to offer. Why? Because I can. I have hit that point in life that of course I would love to be married and have my own children but since fortune hasn't given me that blessing I am opting to do what I can with what I am.
So starts the "because I can" chapter in life.

Because I can:
*I moved across the country with very little "stuff." In fact, if you were to go to my room in my parents home right now (I've just moved 3 weeks ago) you would probably not realize I was gone.
*I went to Annapolis for Martin Luther King Jr Day. I met a new friend and went for a day to walk around and randomly explore whatever. Why not right? It was January so it was cold but worth it.
*In front of the US Naval Academy, instead of just taking a picture of me, I asked two fine Naval boys to join me in my picture. Much improvement!
*I drove on Monday to the Pentagon Mall to walk around.
*On a freezing January day I walked around the Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Grove.
*I had to find a restroom so I drove around the area (Pentagon) no luck. I saw on the GPS that the Arlington Cemetery Visitors Center was not far so I figured free parking and bathroom. Well wrong on the free parking so I stayed for an hour to read and ponder so I could get my use out of my parking money.
*On my 28th birthday I drove around randomly downtown. I was very much an "out of towner" too. Driving in large cities at lunch time is a mess!


Well that starts my because I can chapter. Stay tuned for more!

Thanks Heather! It's working so far but some days I have to remind myself of that with happy posts like "Because I Can." Hope marriage and life in general is treating you well too!
