I didn't think Iowa would worm its way into my heart, but it did. I really miss the drive to Lincoln.


I didn't think that a freshman IRR major would ever be more than an acquaintance. So much for that. ;)


And a year ago, I would have laughed if someone bet I'd be living in Massachusetts, working at a summer camp year round.

Isn't God cool.

It Was an Accident

So now that I know we're moving, and because our house looks like a storage unit, I haven't felt too inclined to cook dinner at home. Really, why go grocery shopping for food that I will have to throw out in a couple days? Especially when there is good food for the having right down the road.

Mitch and I can usually find a good excuse to run to The Nile or Panera Bread, but now we don't have to look for one. We just go. And while we were out this weekend, we saw something crazy.

We sat at a table outside Panera, talking and savoring our sandwiches and soup when it happened. A limo pulled into the parking lot. Long, black, stretch. It pulled into a space, then slowly crawled back out and started to turn, just a little too close to a shiny new SUV. Oh, you can guess what's coming.

SCCREEECCHHTTHCHH.

Can you imagine what the driver must have been thinking? Oh. No. Unemployment looms.

Mitch and I watched as the limo pulled away to reveal the SUV's crunched metal bumper hanging crazily to one side, as the limo driver got out, as she grinned in disbelief and called her boss. We never did figure out who owned the SUV.

Crazy. But I didn't think about it again until yesterday, when Mitch and I saw the limo pass us on the highway, dent and all. Same driver? Too dark to tell.
