Today is the day!  I had a great week with my family and loved taking long walks on the property.  It was a lot of fun and a great way to say good-bye.

Here are some photos that I took while on my parents’ property this week.  Anyone who says that the Midwest is flat &  uninspiring doesn’t know where to look!

We’re heading to the airport this afternoon to catch our flight to New Zealand.  I had a good week.  I’m sad that we won’t see my family for {likely} 18 months, but I know that we’ll Skype and use video G-Chat in the meantime.  I hope that you all have a great weekend, and I’ll “see” you again on the other side of the globe!
