St. Louis was dreary the day I left.  Damp with rain clouds and humid air. It was good though. It hadn’t rained in months. My body lethargic because of the thunderstorm that occurred the night before and a terrified dog I had to comfort in the night. Mixed emotions filled my heart, however excitement filled my soul. As the plane took off I looked out the window and said goodbye to my beloved Midwest. It had treated me well. However, now I was off to begin my new life. Anxious, excited, blissfully unaware, and happy as all hell. What lay ahead of me? Who knows? No one ever said life should be dull. Lets make **** happen.
