Go forth and have no fear

I know. I haven't posted in a while.  I'm not sorry about that though because its a good sign.  I've said before that this blog is my catharsis and things have been going really well so I haven't felt the need to truly vent about anything lately.

Here's the deal.  I'm about as all in on Indiana right now as I'm ever going to get.  I've got a wonderful fiancee who has the capability of turning my bad days into good ones.  I'm so thankful she's in my life and I'm greatly looking forward to marrying her and starting a life with her, even if it is in a place that's an unreasonable distance away from a decent mountain.  I've got a solid group of guys from church who started off as the core of my softball team but have now expanded to include book study guys.  Yes, we meet at the bar and discuss everything over a beer.  This makes me like them more.  My social life is getting better even if you wouldn't really be able to tell it from the number of Indiana people I'll be inviting to the wedding.  I still love my job.  Roughly a month ago, I submitted an application for promotion to associate professor which also entails a raise and ideally a little more job security, not that I have any worries whatsoever about that.  I still do occasionally check CCCU for other openings because once again, I miss mountains.  Further, the current expectation is that once I'm married, we'll be buying a house and that means I'll have put my own legit roots down somewhere for really the first time in my life.  I was tied to MSU for a while but that was always with the expectation that I would be moving on eventually.  I'm finally starting to get some of this adult stuff down.
