I'm in LOVE!

Now, before you get too excited let me explain...I'm in love with Iowa and Wisconsin!!! HAHAHA Who would have ever thought that those words would proceed (figuratively) out of my mouth!?!? But it's true. It's sooo beautiful here. I just got back from Wisconsin where I went with Kyle, Kurt, and Samantha to see Sam's game. She lost but it wasn't too bad of a game. Anyway, on the drive up there (to Wisconsin) Kyle brought Kurt's guitar and so we had live music and a huge 1 1/2 long kareoke (that's not how you spell it is it?)night. We had fun. Anyway, I can now add another state to my list so that hopefully I can achieve my goal of visiting all 50 states by the time I'm 30.

It's funny. Being here is straight out of a movie. You know how they always depict rural towns going to baseball games and driving and being completely random? It's true! I've already been in 3 days to 2 softball games (I'm learning to love them) and it's just relaxing here.

The cool thing though is that I also accomplished a lot today. Devin and I set up a time and place to do a car wash and a bake sale (These Iowans are in for a treat!!) We also set up a time to be trained so that we can do movies and stuff through a company here called Mediacom. It's weird and I don't understand it, but we get to use all of their amazing equipment free because of some agreement between them and the city. Anyway, that's cool. Maybe I'll become a video and editing genius (or at least begin to kinda understand it). Oh yeah, I also designed a shirt and now just have to call some places and get price quotes. I think my new found hobby is t-shirt designing.

Anyway, because my body is mean and likes to wake me up early no matter what time I go to sleep, I'm about to head to bed. You should be proud though. I have stayed up until at least midnight every night since being here. I'm not sure I'll make it tonight though. :) Goodnight.

One more thing before I go. I was just handed a package that came in the mail for me. Dottie, I know you're trying to keep up with this. Please tell the girls THANK YOU!!! I literally have tears in my eyes. Please let them know how precious I think each and every one of them is. Also, tell Anna thank you for the reminder "No Boys". I had to smile at that one :)
