Goodbye Texas

Tomorrow begins my two-day, 16-hour roadtrip with my parents to Colorado. I am currently taking a break from packing. Over the next few days, I will be spending time with my parents, Denver relatives and my sister and brother-in-law, who will be in town for a wedding. Then it's moving day in Colorado Springs. I'll have one day to get acclimated to my dorm room and roommate before I start work on Monday.

In addition to working hard, I plan to do some sightseeing during the next six months. Here are some events on my calendar:

Sunday, Aug. 9: Warped Tour in Denver to see NOFX
Sunday, Aug. 23: Flaming Lips @ Red Rocks with Teresa
Saturday, Sept. 12: UT football @ Wyoming
Saturday, Nov. 7: UT football vs. Central Florida in Austin

I also hope to catch Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets and Air Force football games. I plan to give white water rafting and snowboarding a try, as well.

Feel free to bookmark this page and check back to see how my adventure is going. I will be posting photos and links to any writing I may produce in my media relations internship with the United States Olympic Committee.
