Life with Gling

glingdidit September 28th, 2007

So I just got back from a week on the road.  From Greenville…to St. Louis…to Kansas City…to Greenville…to Iowa….it’s been a long week.  I don’t mind the time in the car though…it’s quite relaxing most days.  The 2nd part of my trip…to Iowa…my mom got to come along with me….which was great!  We don’t get a lot of time to just hang out anymore…so I’m always excited when it happens.  We spent yesterday at Bishop Hill…in northwestern Illinois.  It’s this really amazing Swedish Community.  We’ve visited several times over my life-span…and I’ve always enjoyed it.  We spent the day looking through museums and craft shops….and had an amazing lunch at a local restaurant.  We both had Swedish Meatballs and pie for dessert.  It was beyond yummy!  I stopped by the local bakery to bring home some goodies for Jared as well.  I stopped back through Emden on the way home…and was fortunate enough to snag some home cooked food from Grandma…which is always welcome in my tummy!  I even got to see my niece…whom I haven’t seen in what can only be described as “way too long.”  All in all…it was a great 2 days.  I made it back with enough time to hang out with Jared a bit before I fell asleep.  Today I’ve been catching up at work…and eagerly anticipating a night out with Nicole.  We’re going to see “Guys and Dolls” and the guys are going to play video games and hang out.  Either way…should be great!  More updates to come!
