So after the early morning drive to Charlotte, NC this morning, I thought the rest of the day would be a piece of cake. Ha, today is one of those days when I am utterly thankful for a sense of humor. :) The flight to Detroit was no problem...however, getting out of Detroit proved to be an adventure. I'll just put it this way...3 gate changes, a broken plane, and an hour + delay. Giddy up.

But I'm thankful to be home. It's nearly harvest season here in Iowa...my favorite. Tonight I went to my nephews' football games (check out the pics below this)...it was fun to go back to my old stomping grounds to watch my newphews take the field. I got to hang out with my brother and his wife...and my folks...and lots of other people that I haven't seen for an even longer time. :) However, I was reintroduced to cold weather tonight and I tell you, I think my body is in shock! I have experienced near-summer conditions for 2 years solid now...anything below 75 is very cold to me...well, it was definitely below that tonight...I couldn't see my breath, but I'm convinced that nature was just playing a trick, because it is certainly cold enough for it!! After some serious pleading, my brother was kind enough to let me borrow his jacket for a bit. :)

Anyhow, it's been a long day...but I made it. And tomorrow is another adventure...back to my alma matter to see my Hawks play. Go Hawks!!
