Today is an absolute brilliant fall day once again. After snow for the better part of last week, I am not complaining in the least. Hopefully I'll be able to get some climbing in this week. I'm shooting for Thursday right now, but we'll see. To all you fellow college students out there, I want to say hang in there. The semester is over halfway done and Thanksgiving will be here in less than three weeks.

I guess today is Halloween. I never was a Halloween fan. It used to creep me out, but I think I just don't care now. I try to stay away from all the scary stuff. I spend too much time in the woods. That's the last thing I need--Texas chainsaw man running around in my head while I'm zipped up in my bivvy trying to get some sleep in the good 'ol outdoors.

God is good, Amen? I was bored in one of my classes today and just randomly started reading about the crucifixion in Luke. I found it amazing how the disciples failed to believe that Jesus actually had resurrected from the dead. Then I thought to myself, I probably would have did the same thing. How many times do I live my life in such a way that I fail to have faith. How many times do I doubt that He will truly answer my prayers. Far too many!

This is a picture of my shadow that I took on the hike that I went on yesterday in the Gorge. 

I will say this unashamedly, there are very few places in this country that can capture my heart like the New River Gorge. Today was a glorious fall day. Crisp, clear, warm, and I could go on and on about how awesome it was. This picture was taken at Long Point, one of the most panaramic sites to view the entire gorge. We have an awesome God who created a beautiful world. If you have never saw the New River Gorge in person, then you haven't experienced WV. Come visit...

I am writing live from River Valley Ranch in Maryland today. Last night we saw Yonder Mountain in B-more at Rams Head Tavern. A great venue to see an awesome bluegrass band. We danced for a solid three hours with a bunch of hippies (hippies in Baltimore--who knew?). It was a great time with friends and family (my twin). Also, my friend Kristen was able to make it in from NYC and got to catch most of the second set.

So, I guess the Sox won the series? Sorry Cubs fans, you'll have to watch the South side celebrate the victory. As agonizing as it may be, the Red Sox did win last year, so, maybe it will be your turn next year.

I'm headed back to WV tomorrow. Life must go on! But it has been glorious to get away from school and work for a couple of days to experience some leisure. God is good!

I'd like to welcome everyone to the Nomadic soul. I'm new to this whole blogging community, so bear with me and hopefully it will be like aging wine...the older it gets the better, Amen? I'll be happy to share with you my thoughts and ramblings on anything and everything. Thanks for checking out my blog!
