Country Roads Take Me Home

Just a side note…I really like that John Denver song. I just love singing out loud along with it. Onto other things though. Today I will be making my return back to my native land of Iowa. Yesterday while talking to my friend Austin, I made the comment that I was so glad to be coming home. “Iowa’s not your home anymore Liz.” Austin had said to me. Sure, I am living in a new place and so technically no, Iowa is not my home, but I think that no matter where I live, Iowa will always be home to me. I love Iowa. Go ahead, mock me. My friends think I’m joking when I say this and can’t believe it, but it’s true. I really do love the place. And I cannot wait to get back! Oh, when I see the Iowa sign, I’m going to be the happiest girl in the world, and oh when I drive down Main Street in State Center, I’ll be full of bliss. I can’t wait to go on a walk through State Center with Jay tonight. It’ll be great.

Now don’t get me wrong, I really do like Minneapolis. But I’m still going through that adjustment period. It’s a new chapter of my life and it’s hard. I’m sure that within a week or two, I’ll be pretty well adjusted and hopefully by then I’ll have made some friends. (All I want are friends!!!!)
So, headed off to Iowa in a couple o’ hours. Back to the fields of corn! Oh boy, I can’t wait. (Let’s go tip some cows!)
