Transient, wanderer, vagabond, hitchhiker, one who moves from one place of residence to another in a matter of weeks. That has been my life the past few months. Since November 22, 2008 I have lived in three different homes, some less permanent than others. I think that I might be done moving for the next 2 months, which for me is stable and I'm enjoying not living out of my backpack's and boxes.
I moved from Driggs, Idaho to Logan, Utah for about a week. Mostly sleeping on my friends couches, I did find a new place to live, a couple roommates, and a job at Cafe Sabor. Then the bigger better deal came up in Heber City Utah. You might be thinking the only redeeming quality of Heber is Dairy Keen, and what a joint it is. Smashing good shakes. I got a job at the Zermatt Resort in Midway. When I say I got a job I really mean they offered me a job, and then a month long ordeal ensued of actually trying to get the job and start working instead of living of my savings account. During this ordeal I also pursued other possibilities for employment and luckily I was hired in Park City at the restaurant Maxwell's East Coast Eatery. Long story short the Zermatt lasted about 5 working shifts and it was time to be done. Scheduling conflicts and poor managament made me decide to just stick with the job at Maxwell's. I commuted to Park City every day and then extenuating circumstances at my residence in Heber created the need to find another place to lay my weary head. This was four weeks after I had moved in. I never really moved in, the boxes were still full, the clothes still in suitcases and backpack's were still full. I somehow felt that I wasn't supposed to be in Heber.
I found a new place in Salt Lake right at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, the moment I checked out the property I felt at home. This is the place!!!! At least for another couple weeks. Well my contract is until June, so I'm here till then. Who knows what will happen after that. California, Colorado, Oregon, New Zealand. The options are endless really. Any input will be accepted with an open heart and arms. I'm still working up in Park City as a waiter at the Maxwell's restaurant, come in for some amazing pizza if you so desire. I feel somewhat stable in knowing the plan of my life for the next 5 months. Thats as far as I can think ahead. I will be traveling back to Rwanda in May, if I can raise the fundage, upon my return I will be working in the wonderful world of Especially For Youth, as a Building Counselor. This will be taking place in Salt Lake and in Logan. After the joy of EFY I have volunteered my body to science and will be traveling to Guatemala to test a new patch that is supposed to prevent a common travel aliment, diarrehea, I'm sure you all wanted to know that so I felt inclined to tell you.
I have been working alot lately with my friend and master web designer, Katrina, on my photography website. The goal is to have it up and running my the beginning of April, once that is ready I'll be more diligent in posting my photos up on that website, and I'll post here to let the 4 of you that read this in on the secret web address so you can spread the news like wildfire.
