Since Lew and I are about to start a new adventure, we both decided that blogging would be a good way to keep in touch with family and friends. Welcome to our new blog!

So we’re down to the final countdown (queue cheesy 80’s music) with only 4 days left before I fly out to a foreign land and leave my wife, and life behind. My final two weeks have been a blast, with Lew and me traveling to Hershey, Pennsylvania (which was awesome). I think the craziest thing I did while we were there was trying the “Hershey Chocolate BBQ Chicken Pizza,” which was a bit odd, but it was basically a mole (pronounced molly, it’s some kind of Spanish word for burnt chocolate) sauce. It was a bittersweet trip to PA. Literally. From all the chocolate.

We also toured the Amish countryside, which was interesting. I find it weird that the Amish aren't allowed to use modern amenities, but yet, still manage to use modern amenities. We passed an Amish girl on roller blades, saw a horse and buggy go through a bank drive through, and bought pretzels created in a kitchen more modern than our own. By the way, those pretzels were absolutely amazing. I wonder if I could email that Amish bakery and get the recipe?

I’m definitely going to miss New Jersey and the friends we have made here, but I am looking forward to getting to Colorado and starting our life there. The only problem is the yearlong hurdle we have to jump over first.
