CUS

By the end of this coming summer, I will have run barefoot in the sands of Virginia Beach and danced on the rocks of the Oregon coast, muscled my way through 13 states and gobbled down dozens of well-deserved pot-lucks, helped build rafters and playrooms and kitchens and bedrooms and back porches and foundations for good lives.

I just found out that Keef and I were selected for the Central U.S. route, which is going to be simply magical. See for yourself here. This link has the route description that explains where we will be going and, eventually, when we will be going there. I love looking at it and day dreaming and night dreaming dreams that are so tangible they may as well be reality. I'm so excited to finally have these plans settled! Have you ever looked up at the stars and find that your eyes spontaneously form lines connecting all the little orbs? I've asked a couple of people this before and I don't think any of them had a clue about what I was talking about so this analogy may not make sense, but that's what happens to me sometimes and that's kind of how I'm feeling right now. I have such a pure sense of doing what I should be doing and being where I should be that its almost like these lines are just spontaneously forming in my life, pointing me in the right direction, making giving my heart away to this program in the coming months such an obvious thing to do.

But anyway, I found out about this around 9 tonight, and have been in such a tizzy ever since. Keef came (sprinted?) over and did her whole endearing effervescent giddiness thing, and afterwards we spent a few hours contemplating gear and reading the bios of the other route members. The number of ultimate Frisbee lovers and mountain climbers is encouraging and exciting and I'm really pumped about meeting them even though it is still 6 months away!  Come midnight, Keef and I stopped by Grimes to pick of some friends and made our way to Franklin Street to splurge on waffles to celebrate. I am off to bed, but I hope you'll have a waffle in celebration as well, because they were pretty much perfect.
