Long time no blog

I haven't written for awhile so I'll try to bring you up to speed.

Aug 8-12ish:
Roadtrip with Bethany. The roadtrip was great and some of my highlights were Savannah, fried pickles in Nashville, and the Twins winning the game we attended.

Saw my family for the first time in months which was amazing! Also met my fur-nephew (aka my brother's dog) Dierks who is horribly cute:)

Aug 15:
Moved back to Madison and into my new apartment. It's really small, but it's all mine and I really like it. It's a mess still as I'm trying to figure out how to best make use of the space and decorate it. My pictures are strewn all around the floor.

Since then I've been enjoying being back in Madison and minus an internet connection (thus the lack of blogging). I have another week before school starts and the craziness begins.
I'll try to blog more about the roadtrip and life as a Madisonian later.

Now it's time to say goodbye

I'm officially done with clinic: my clock hours are signed, their evaluation/grade report is in, and I am out-processed by the Charlie Norwood VAMC. It's a bit bittersweet as I've grown to love the clinic and the my supervisors and other students, but I'm excited to see Bethany (she gets here in less than 10 hours!) and my family soon:)

The roadtrip starts tomorrow and here's the basic itinerary:

Sat: Savannah

Sun: Nashville

Mon: Belle Meade Plantation (outside of Nashville)
St. Louis

Tues: Hannibal, MO (Mark Twain museum)
Ackley, IA (to see my Aunt T and pick up my quilt)
Humboldt, IA (HOME!)

Wed: Okoboji
Minneapolis -- TWINS GAME and to take Bethany home

Thurs: Home again:)

I'm free----free fallin' (lame I know)

Ready to fly. I don't look scared at all.

Free-fallin'!

More free-fallin'

Coming in for landing with my awesome pink parachute.

A successful skydive:)

These are just a few of the pics that were taken (there's about 150 on the CD they gave me) plus I have video of the jump too if anyone ever wants to see it.
