Welcome to the valley! Now there are 3 empegs that I'm aware of here.

Did you make it to Big Cottonwood Canyon and back for one of those flights? It's awesome how far you can go along the front. What really sucks about the heat is you'll get used to it, then we'll cool off and see highs in the teens or 20's in January. Then comes the heat again.

Welcome again!


Thanks! I haven't flown the mountians yet, still unpacking. Had a few flights here in my backyard though. Will be heading up to Olympus some point very soon.

Loren, no offense bro, but listen to that sage advice. If you leave her for a year, you better plan on losing her. The odds are stacked greatly against you in that situation.


1. Too late
2. She decided to leave ME for a year to move to Boston for a residency, which was followed by this decision, the reasons for which were outlined in the first post. I don't resent it in any way, it's something we knew was going to happen in our relationship for years. Neither of us are in any sort of denial about how difficult this is going to be and what the odds are. But we are smart enough to know that holding each other back and building resentments about it over years is WAY more likely to kill our relationship. As much as I hate the saying, this is one of those "if you love something let it go" type situations. Losing her would annihilate me for quite a while, but being with her and being unhappy and unfulfilled would be almost as bad. I don't think it's too healthy to rely solely on a person to make you happy. It's got to be a balance.

Hell, we don't even know if we want to live in the same place after this year is up. It's all incredibly difficult and we'll either get through it or we won't, but this path is the one that feels (and reasons) right despite the hardships it entails. At any rate, we're going to try our hardest to make it work, frequent visits, lots of talking, video conferencing, etc. Odds schmods.
