So I've reached the one year away from my hometown today.  Exactly one year ago I arrived out here on the east coast, knowing no one and conquering life.  What a year its been.  I've traveled plenty, made some new friends, had a few visitors, and really just another year is gone.  Time passes so quickly, last year I couldn't imagine life out here.  Sometimes it still just hits me that I actually live here, sometimes it just feels like a realy long vacation and someday I'll be going "home", but then I am home.  Lets see what next year brings.
