3 Days 9 Hours

3 days and 9 hours is all that I have left in Kansas City.

3 days and 9 hours until I move more than 30 minutes away from my parents. For the first time since having the Munchkin.

3 days and 9 hours until I start the journey to moving to the place where I feel whole.

3 days and 9 hours until I leave for Denver, permanently.

. Holy Crap .

I have wanted to move back to Denver since I left after graduating from AIC. It has been 5 years and 2 months to the day since I graduated. There have been half a dozen trips there with plenty of visitors from there, and every time saying good-bye got harder and harder. The last time I flew home, which was just last December after a long Thanksgiving vacation with the Boyfriend, I cried. So did Munchkin, but I think that was more because he didn't want to leave Boyfriend. :-)

Boyfriend and I. Thanksgiving 2013.

Boyfriend just so happens to live in Denver, it's where we met. Well, technically, we met at student housing while we were both attending AIC. I distinctly remember sitting on the front steps having a conversation about food with him. He, on the other hand, has absolutely no recollection of this conversation.

None, what-so-ever, goober.

As much as I love Boyfriend, he is not the sole reason why I am moving back. I had actually made the decision that I was moving back before Boyfriend and I started dating last April. He just happens to be a very large bullet point on the "Pro" side of the list of reasons to move.

For those of you who don't know me, I love music! Currently in my iTunes I have 5404 songs! That's 29.05 GB of music or better translated into 14.9 days of music! I started my iTunes collection back in 2008 and I stopped adding to it because I discovered Spotify which is probably the best thing invented for someone like me.

I watch "So You Think You Can Dance" religiously; partially for the fantastic dancers, a little bit more for the even ah-mazing choreographers (I totally have a dance crush on Travis Wall), but primarily for the music! They use all these great new artists that haven't hit the mainstream radio waves and I just love it. Well, thankfully for me, someone with far more patience and determination hunts down all the songs from every week and puts them onto a playlist on Spotify so I don't have to!

At the end of every post I want to leave you all with a bit of music that I love. It may be mainstream it may not be, but I really like introducing people to artists they've never listened to before. I really enjoy new covers of old favorites, sometimes I end up liking the cover better than the original!

So, for this post I want to leave you all with this:

Howie Day - Collide [Acoustic]

ah the feels that go with this song for me! love it!

If you have an artist that you think I need to listen to tell me in the comments!
