I've been out of my mind (and home)

   

I haven't posted in awhile because I was off to Wisconsin visiting the in-laws.  Call me paranoid, but I don't like to publish on the internet when my house is sitting empty.  Not that any of my 3 readers will break in.  Not that there is anything to take (that 150lb tv maybe?)  It's just a paranoia of mine.  One of many.

We left for our Wisconsin-Iowa tour via the lovely state of Nebraska at the end of June and returned home just a few days ago.  Road trip, of course, with all the ups/downs, trials/tribulations that entails.  While gone we visited friends Tiffany and Karen as well as grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles,cousins...and a bunch of people I am related to by marriage but I have no idea how or who they are.  That's ok because they are Brian's relatives and he doesn't know either.  We missed out on seeing some friends while there, notably Mitch and Jackie, but we just didn't have enough time for everything and everyone, sadly :(

It was about a million degrees with 638% humidity but there was air conditioning there so I didn't care a bit.  Also, it was home.  Wisconsin will always be home, no matter where I reside.  When I feel the humidity, see the lush foliage...I will feel content.  I like Colorado and have many friends and connections here, but it isn't home.  I long for the day I can move back to Wisconsin.  I also dread it because I will lose the wonderful and complex support network I have here.  Still, if the opportunity arose, I would be packing my bags....
