Back in the Nati! :) :(







Well It's all really bitter sweet! I was ready to come back because i missed friends here, but at the same time, I knew i was going and I do already miss home...I just have to not think about it so much. Thats the ticket... I will say the transition was much much easier this time around. It makes it a whole lot better when you get to see a familiar face when you move back in who will give ya a good hug!
But before I tell you about my adventures of the drive down here...I'll fill you in on my last week...and it just wouldn't be the same with out them...yes i have documented proof of most of my last weeks events!



Squeezed in a coffee with good friend Josie on Tuesday I believe it was although I could be mistaken i'm not really sure but we got to have coffee it's a world record for us getting together twice in one summer...We grew up together...Love this girl to death...She moved to Washington State this summer!




On Thursday I had coffee with Beth...good friend and Mentor always so good to talk to her, such an encouragement! After coffee with Beth on Thursday i ran into these boys who were waiting for Kate to get her first clue on her fun scavenger hunt!Kate doesn't like suprises so I traveled with her on her scavenger hunt this is steve reading her an oh so interesting poem outside of fiesta Mexicana!!!I had to quick rush back to caribou to get my car and travel to Cannon falls to have dinner at the McDonalds with this lovely lady Miss. Kristinwho is getting married in under 50 days!!! I hadn't seen her in over a year!!!! She is like an older sister to me!!!! Love you!!!!


On Friday I went to Gold Rush in Oronoco with the Family where i purchased a pyrex mixing bowel in a cool blue color i got it for 8 dollars....which is a steel b/c later that day we saw the same bowl for 30$ I love it i am starting a collection for my house someday...it's the kind of mixing bowls my mom uses!! I love them!!!!


Friday NIght i went out to dinner with Brianna we ate at West fire it was yummy. AFter we were done eating we went and did a little shopping and then...


I went to go say goodbye to miss jackie and she was not home :( tear....so WE called her and left special treats on her camera for her to remember me by...Jackie if you have not yet checked your camera you may want to do so...I hope you enjoy the video...you can use it to remember me by!!!!Then i went home where these good lookin boys were waiting to say good bye...they are just too sweet...i'm not sure if they really came to say bye to me but either way it was fun getting to know them this summer...I have a whole lot of little brothers and sisters now thats for sure...and i LOVE it!


But to my adventure moving back down here....


I left early saturday morning I believe I left the house at 7:15 and was well on the highway by 7:30 had to stop for gas...I had my coffee in hand and was on my way to Milwaukee...why you ask well I was seeing a new friend...his name is Shawn...we met on eharmony and I meet him for the first time a week ago....we spent the day together a week ago as well as two days ago...So i got a tour of milwaukee some good coffee, visited Irish fest had some irish beer watched a movie, and went to dinner at a fun little Italian place. then we went back to his place and hung out for a little bit then I had to go it was already 8:30 by the time we got to his place so i didn't actually leave milwaukee until 9:30. But the sweetheart he went and got my car for me it was freezing all day long and rainy. But then I was on my way....NOt really sure when i'll see him again...but i'll keep you posted ...or you could just call me! ( i like it when people call)


Driving though was the worst it was dark...and raining like crazy which sucked! And i got lost twice but thank goodness for daddy's who are map savy and computer savy and he finds me and then tells me if i'm going the right way!!!! I got to my Aunt Amy's house around 12 and went straight to bed. But was woken up by well just about the sweetest puppy ever....She is 12 weeks old and a yorkie poodle mix...she just snuggled right up with me! It was just too cute!!! I got up and had coffee with my aunt amy did a little catching up but not a ton cause she had to get going to church...I just lounged around a little bit then started getting ready and left the house by 10:30 I think it was...and was on my way to the Nati


But before I could leave I had to take some pictures with the just way toooo cute Dixie!!!!!!

I got to Cincy around 5 thats 5 cincy time so it was 4 by where most of you are from!!!! but i leisurly unpacked all my stuff...got it into the house didn't really un pack a little but not a lot...then I laid down for a little bit and my good friend Luke came over to see me.... we hung out at my place for a little bit then went for some Cincinnati Chilli at Skyline and ate it at his place while he had is Fantasy football draft and I watched Napolean Dynamite...then we chilled on his patio which is right next a little creek/pond thingy...very nice!!! then he brought me home and we hung out for a little bit longer then it was time for bed...

This am i slept till around 8 then was in and out for about 2 hours so 10 i finally decided i should at least think about getting up...I haven't been sleeping well so i don't feel guilty at all!!!! But i lounged for a little big watched a little Ellen...and cereal with no milk for breakfast!!!! and then started unpacking and getting all my stuff organized... was done with that by about 12 so i got ready and proceeded to go run errands I had to go to the post office and Gap to get hours again...I don't like that i have to be available so much scares me that i'll get to many hours so we'll see i'll just start asking off weekends if i have to!!!! That will stop that business!!!! Daddy said i only have to work 8-12 hours so that makes me happy!!!!!

After Gap I am no at panera using their interent and got myself a little lunch and am freezing my butt off!!! But after i finishe up here i'll got to Wal*mart and get stuff i need food and what have you then home to get ready for the first day of school!!!! (Thats tomorrow!)

Well hopefully I haven't bored you too horibbly but hopefully I will do a better job of keeping this updated...I am so far liking it again....especially with the automatic save every like 10 seconds it seems!!!!!

Shalom!!!!!
