Change is on the horizon

I am turning 24 in 2 days! I don't know how to feel about it though. I used to be excited about my birthdays, but not so much anymore. We just went out and got mywife her first mountain bike today. She loves it and begs for us to take the bikes instead of the car almost everywhere we go. We were supposed to go camping this weekend but financial "stuff" came up, and we decided it would be more prudent to stay at home. I remember when I was younger I would pack up and go anywhere as long as I had enough money for gas and some top ramen. Although last weekend my lovely wife and I headed up to the Tram way. Up in the San Jacinto Mountains. It was amazing, there is rock everywhere and we had so much fun exploring. Not to mention my ticket was free because I am in the Marines, so it was cheap as well. I am getting out of the Corps in 2 months! After spending 6 years faithfully serving my country, I am getting ready to close that chapter in my life and begin a new one. It is a very odd feeling. This fall is going to be a fun one I can tell. I am planning on heading up to Yosemite for a week or two, try my hand at some bigger walls. And then in February I am pondering heading to Thailand for 8-10 days. Airfare is not to expensive, not to mention the beaches look amazing and the rock looks phenomenal.

Until next time.....
