Taking an Unexcused Absence
by unexcusedabsences 16 Nov 2010Hello World!
We are taking an unexcused absence. We love our friends and family, have good jobs and lead a decent life, but are tortured by wanderlust. A long life of flirting with the edge of the box has increased our desire to seek adventure. So, here we go! There is really no excuse, we’re just going.
One week from today we will have moved out of our house and rented it out for a year. Within a few short weeks we will both be working for Vail Resorts at Beaver Creek. We will start by volunteering at the Birds of Prey, a World Cup Downhill ski race, and then transition into working for the Beaver Creek Ski School (Heather) and the Race Team (Kent). Where and when will we stop? Unknown!
Because we love our friends and family — and yes, we even like our co-workers — we want to keep folks in the loop. This blog will keep you up to date on our vagabonding ways and philosophical musings. Chime in electronically or stop in for a visit if you’re nearby!
This is our Unexcused Absence. Join us for the adventure!
I have known you two for sometime now. You both love new places and new adventures. I am excited for you and a little jealous. So glad you will have a blog. This way you will comments and stories to go along with your pics.
Can I come too?
Good for you! Give Julieand Clay Kisses for me if you run into them! ( Glenwood Springs) Happy ski season!
I’m sure we’ll see them. We simply must ski the “Bryce of the West”!
I’m beyond jealous! Enjoy!
We’re looking forward to your arrival! Bring your powder skis, it has been dumping. And dumping, and dumping. I think we are at 88″ this month as of yesterday with another storm on the way.
My cell phone was MIA for a while, but I should have it back by the end of the week. Beers at the Coyote Sunday night!
Fantastic! We’ll plan to see you at the ‘Yote!
