September, 16 days and 127 Hours

For some reason September seems to be a big month for Campchaos.... Four years ago we moved cross country, two years ago the tacoma was smushed and now as we ready ourselves to drive cross country for our wedding we find out we also need to move. We've gotten a new PO Box and a storage unit to hold us over until we return to Colorado in mid-October.  We've put our friends on alert and are following up on leads for new dwellings.
The next 16 days should be pretty busy as we move into the storage unit and pack for our trip. Hitting the road is going to be such a sigh of relief after all this. I can't wait to hit the Colorado/Kansas line and leave some stress behind.
This last weekend we were able to ignore our real life for a bit and take in the Telluride Film Festival. We saw 127 Hours which was dirrected by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionare) and told the story of Aron Ralston. In 2003 Aron was living in Aspen and hit Canyonlands in Utah for a long weekend. While on his solo journey through Blue John Canyon he dislodged a chock stone and became trapped in a slot canyon for six days. I had read his book, Between a Rock and a Hard Place in 2004 when it was released. The movie told the story solely from Aron's perspective..... while you'd think this could be dull they did a phenomenal job. Kinda makes a wedding, a move and all the other stuff not seem so bad! We enjoyed the movie so much we saw it twice.
