HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISA!!!
i didn't really sleep last night as i packed up everything i needed including my computer into a suitcase and a snowboard bag. kristin and i did some skrapbooking together before she passed out. i needed to decide what to bring with me, and what i could leave in calgary. i don't really need my snowboard and gear until next season.
thank you kristin for giving me a place to stay in calgary. you are an angel. i can't wait to see you again, dance at shambalha with you, and run around on the playa at burning man with you.
i made sure to take pix of dave's star wars shrine before i left. thie guy collektz more star warz paraphenalia than anyone i've come across...and here i thought i was a big fan.
my flight left calgary at 8am. i was tired, but i knew i could sleep on the plane.
what an incredible adventure i've had. this has been the most intense 6 months away from home. this has been the longest i've ever been away from home. hmm...what is home?
home is where i lay my head.
home is where my heart is.
home is where my friends are.
when i told my mom my ridiculous idea of asking for sponsorship to fly me home for my birthday, she thought i was out of my mind and didn't believe it would happen. i told her that she could tell me how crazy an idea it was face to face if i make it back home. it seems like this choose your norm adventure idea has legs, at least enough legs to bring me home for my birthday...and i cannot wait to be around the family i have chosen for myself.
kristin and dave dropped me off at the calgary airport on their way to work. i said my goodbyes to the west...next stop, the big smoke of toronto.
i put my computer in my suitcase, which made it about 14lbs heavier than the bag limit. thank god they only charge a flat rate for oversized baggage, which is way cheaper than if i had shipped my box back to the tee dot via courier.
as the plane took off, memories of the mountains and the most intense winter of my life comforted me as i fell asleep.
