Hi, friends! In another new location typing to you all on my phone a bit exhausted, a bit inspired, and cup feeling full. Very thankful heading into the weekend!
Three Things that Made the World Beautiful Last Week
A fixed car and quick service. Love our local mechanic! (that makes me feel very adult)
Pre-airport local sandwich shop stop: full heart + stomach = less travel stress… a recipe for success!
Enjoying a book about Pope John Paul II, An Invitation to Joy, because there’s so much wisdom and love behind the excerpts.
Conversation: Country-Coded
It’s country music season. Something about crossing the state line into WI puts the bug in my veins. And if you’ve ever met someone out-of-state, it’s pretty unanimous that summers here are pretty hard to beat. I was surprised at how many people had that sentiment once I moved, but I do happen to agree…
Anyways, something about Midwest nice people, drivers mostly sticking to the speed limit, various wildlife, vast farmland, well water, and the serenity of being surround by the woods makes me turn on country music. I feel like you can’t not turn the dial. And hopefully that feeling finds you this Fourth of July, too!
Happy to be at Camp Gorman and heading to the Northwoods soon. The perfect week with friends and family that I’m so grateful for!
