A bit of a disclaimer on this one. There are things that happened in this year, 1998-1999, that some who know me may be shocked to learn. I call it my party year. So feel free to skip this one if you don’t want to know the details.

My journey just after high school has a lot to do with religion. So I guess I have to start there.

Yesterday was our one year anniversary of living in Denver. Hard to believe that one year ago we were in an empty apartment… Nothing but the bags we brought with us in the van. Waiting a good 8 days, if I remember right, for our stuff to finally show up.
