Today Is...

my last day at home. Leaving will be rather bittersweet. I have learned to see the good in where I come from; to love La Crosse for what it is instead of complaining about what it isn't. I have been blessed to spend so much time with my loved ones. I have enjoyed a more than mild Wisconsin summer, a nice retreat from the desert. I have laughed...a lot. I have spent so much time with one of my oldest friends that I wonder if I should feel guilty. I have found a new hobby. There were moments when I thought I might lose my mind, but in the end I can't imagine a better way to have spent the second half of my summer. Thank you, my wonderful Wisconsinites, I love you.
