Jerome...home.

I am here...and the feeling has not changed. It has been amplified. I have found an apartment that I have fallen in love with. I will keep the text short for the day. My brain is totally overloaded with awesomeness of this town. But I will add a quick summary of today:
-wrote a novel on the plane
-david slept
-payless car rental lady wanted us to spend $3,274,583,294,723 and waste 78 hours of our Jerome day. (She lost on both deals)
-We got a free upgrade on our car rental  (ooooooh karma)
-oooo'd and awwww'd at the scenic drive (Prescott National Forest) on the way to the best town ever....
-finally got to see the apartment I've been dreaming about
-met the coolest landlord ever (possibly my Dad's twin of some sort)
-went and ate at Grapes - an AMAZING restaurant right in Jerome, also met the coolest bartender ever... Tina!
-tasted some delicious Caduceus wine
-made our way to the Spirit Room...where I ran into Chuck (amazing bartender that Annie and I met back in April... and also saw Bob... the man whom changed mine and Annie's life forever with his comment "Find a place that makes your soul feel good"




I can't express how great it feels to walk into a place that I have only been one time, and be remembered, not only that, but be welcomed with open arms by every person in this town. 
I am home.
