Thank you for everything Colorado Springs.

NBA basketball players weren’t the only ones in free agency these past few months.  I have been looking for other physician opportunities these past few months and found one that will offer a great practice setting and put me in a better financial state for the foreseeable future.

I will  be leaving Colorado Springs for good next week, but don’t worry.  I will be staying in the state of Colorado.

I found a physician opportunity in northeastern Colorado that will require me to leave the western side of Colorado.  I’m excited to be starting this new endeavor, as it is the first major multiyear deal I have signed as a physician.  With that said, there of course won’t be as many social amenities as there are were I currently live, but the short work week will allow me to come out west and visit all my friends and do all the outdoor stuff I have grown to love during this past year.

I am extremely grateful for having come to Colorado and becoming an avid skier and rock climber within this past year.  I have a lot of love for the people of Colorado Springs and the greater Denver area and am thankful for the friendships I have attained in this past year alone.  Remember, it is never a goodbye, but rather a “see you soon.”

I am going to miss seeing everyone on a regular basis but am excited at the same time for starting this new endeavor in northeastern Colorado, and I am more than ready and eager to begin this great opportunity.  With that said, there are a LOT of things I need to get done between now and the beginning of August (i.e. moving and paperwork).  Let the fun begin.

Camping in Rocky Mountain National Park

For the next three days I’ll be camping in Rocky Mountain National Park.  It’ll be my first backpacking hike, which will be a fun little adventure.  Unfortunately I’ll be missing the Germany/France match in the Euro semi-finals, and due to poor mobile signal, I may not even know the result until Saturday when I am back home.

A small loss because camping and hiking at Rocky Mountain will be a blast.  I hope to take lots of pics.  And if Germany makes it to the final, I’ll be able to watch it on Sunday.
