Moving to Seattle Washington!

Well, the time has come for me to venture off into the wild west and find out what I'm made of. My trip started out by stopping off in KZoo for a quick visit with Jess. After a fine McDonald's dining session, I hit the road only to be stopped in Indiana due to a HUGE accident. 3 hours later, I finally got back on I-90 only to hit a HUGE snowstorm within 20 minutes. What luck, I only made it to Davenport, IA and spent the night in a hotel on a HUGE king-sized, pillowtop bed! I was able to make it to Colorado that night, by the grace of God and stayed with Justin and Susan in Denver. I spent the day lounging, studying for my boards, and even got my haircut. I left that evening after eating dinner with them and spent the night in Laramie, WY. I made it to Boise, ID that day. I loved the trip up I-84 in Utah; it was gorgeous going through the mountains! Idaho was boring. Lots of potatoes... hehe! Day Day 4 got me to Portland, OR, where I got to hang out with Becky. The drive through the Columbia River Gorge was just super awesome; every corner I turned, there was another great sight. I stopped off at a few waterfalls and hiked around in a state park that was plowed, yet deserted. I made it to Olympia, WA, the capital, and walked a bit, then off to my destination at Kim and Vic's place in Seattle. The longest trip of my life, but I'm glad I did it all by myself. I really am proud of myself for starting my new life, new career, and new friends. Not that I'll ever forget the ones back home of course!! Thanks to everyone who helped me and supported me. I appreciate it all! Miss you all!!! Love, Erin
