[Another note from the Arctic...where it has snowed...repeatedly... these past few weeks]
All:
Have you noticed a really ridiculous pattern at all? Yes...I only ever write from work...and only about once a month. Well I'm here today to fill you (mostly) in on life since i've written last!
I spent my last two weeks off going to visit some awesome people in the Midwest! (I also learned that ND, SD & MN were PART of the Midwest. I didn't know!!! I claim "northern girl" who never had to take midwest history or anything like that in high school) I spent a few days at home in Idaho and then flew to Minneapolis/St. Paul where a good friend picked me up. Then we drove about 4 hours to SD. The scenery in that area has its own unique charm. Not quite the overly treed acres or mountainous terrain i'm used to...but there's something beautiful about farm land and knowing that what you're seeing is going to feed people some day.
A quick day in SD was followed by a drive to Lincoln NE to see an awesome family I know and a good friend as well. That too was a quick day and a half as we showed up in the evening and left the next afternoon to head back to SD where I met up with MORE friends whom I stayed with the rest of the week that I was there. Combines...and wheat fields...and camper life! Always fun. :)
All in all, the trip was both quick and full of blessings! I was very excited to finally do a bit of travelling instead of remodeling! Good news though...right before I left, I actually set up my room with the help of my family. It is SO nice to have a place to relax every now and then! I flew back to Idaho and spent a few days with the family before heading up here...where I have been for almost 3 weeks now. I get to go HOME soon! Well..actually...only very briefly...but i'll fill you in on that AFTER it goes down...
May the snow not be seen for many moons wherever you live,
P.S. Always remember-Pack light! :) It leaves room to bring cool things home with you!
