Traveling
I’ve been on the road for work this past week…and am just now getting a chance to update. I spent most of the week on the road, which included a day in Decatur working transfer students at their community college…and then an overnight at the rent’s house. I got home in time to see my niece and my nephews…and even got a chance to go out to eat with them. (I wish I got to see them more often!) I went to a high school volleyball game at my old high school too. I haven’t been back in quite a while, so it was a little odd, but fun at the same time. It’s always interesting to see my old teachers…and to see if they still recognize me or not. Apparently getting your hair hacked off and tanning a bit makes people not recognize you right away…or maybe it’s just the fact that I haven’t been in high school for over 6 years now. (I’m all grown up!) Anyway…I headed up to Iowa (Quad Cities area) for the rest of the week. I decided to stay at a Bed and Breakfast this time around….since I get so sick of staying in hotels. The Bed and Breakfast I stayed at was in Bishop Hill…an old Swedish Community…outside of Cambridge, Illinois. It was such a fun place to stay…and the owners were amazing. (www.Bishophill.com if you’re interested. It’s a fun weekend away!) Anyway…the college fairs I attended were great too…but it was so nice to get home on Friday. I miss home so much when I’m away, but I still love my job. Friday night we just relaxed and hung out. Saturday I had a haircut and it was “Little Pig and Apple Days” in Greenville. It’s basically a craft/farmers market sort of day with lots of music and food. We bought a few things and had pork burgers for lunch (which were amazing!) That night we had a random trip to Troy for Cracker Barrell and then we got groceries. I’m home for a whole week….so we could actually get groceries! Anyway….I need to wrap this up and get to bed. I have a full day of work ahead of me! Adios!
