An the award for the worlds biggest procrastinator goes to……ME!!!!!!
Yep that's right
I originally stared this blog back in November, yes over two months ago, then it got deleted. So here I am now, the procrastinator that I am, waiting way to long to overload you with almost everything that happened in 2013.
Time really does go by faster the older you get
“Is everybody in? Is everybody in? Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin. The entertainment for this evening is not new, you've seen this entertainment through and through you have seen your birth, your life, your death....you may recall all the rest. Did you have a good world when you died? -enough to base a movie on??”
2013
I started off the year moving in with my grandparents. One of the best chooses I have made so far in my life. They are such amazing, lovely, caring, positive, beautiful souled people and that's what, at that time in my life, I needed. I needed a place that I felt wanted. A place to call home. A place that was warm. A place that was comfortable. A place that welcomed me with open arms. A place that was safe. If you have ever lived somewhere where you have ever felt unwanted then you understand and if you have not then you are lucky. I am grateful everyday for them and what they did for me in a time of needed. I can not thank them enough.
For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to move to California, why I always said California I don't know. Out of all places to move in the world but what do you know when you're so young. Well I haven't made the move to California yet but I am a whole hell of a lot closer. As some you already know I moved to Arizona back in July. So here is how it all began:
Back in March 2013 I took a very short trip (now when I say short I'm talking a grand total of three days) to Arizona to check out the sites and Arizona State University (one day I'll get that damn degree). Now I know you are probably still stuck on only me being there for 3 days (really it was only about 2 days if you include the flights). How could someone decide that they want to move to live somewhere in only two days? I still ask myself that question haha. It's insane, I know. But when the trip was all said and done and I got home I started planning my move.
When you live in a place where things aren't going anywhere, your not going anywhere in life, as I like to call in stuck in a rut, sometime the grass is greener on the other side. I guess in this case the dirt is browner on the other side. I was at a point in my life where I was finished with Ohio, it was giving me nothing. And how can you gave back when you had nothing to begin with?
Some may say that I'm running from my problems. Some may say I'm leaving the bull shit behind and moving forward. Some may say both. Some may say, I don't know what some may say. But I'm saying that it is a mixed of everything. It's life. Some times you need to detach yourself to find yourself.

The start to a new life journey and an end to an old life.
This day I left for my cross country trip to Arizona.
1900+ miles one way no turning back
All by myself
Around 1,970 miles and 4 days later...
Missori
Kansas
Arizona
Now…6 months later and the desert has taught me a lot about myself. What I need to do, the things I need to work on, LIFE. Its been quite the adventure so far but a good one all in all.
Some things I've done since I have been here…
Hell City Phoenix
On my way back from Vegas made a pit stop at the….Hoover Dam!

Spent Thanksgiving exploring the desert
