Midterms and Such

Preparations are underway to leave Ohio in 29 hours. Destinations: Jackson, MN, Sioux Falls, SD, Delmont, SD, Fremont, NE and St. Paul, MN. After a crazy week of midterms we’re planning an all night drive across the Midwest for Parry and Melissa’s wedding, to meet Ava and see family and friends sprinkled throughout the upper Midwest and Great Plains.

In preparation for the journey we’re headed to Grandma Miller’s to do laundry and fill up on the best Chinese food ever, China Bell. Who would guess that the best Chinese food would come from a suburb in Columbus, Ohio? Don’t ask questions, just enjoy. In a conversation with Mom yesterday she said, “you haven’t seen Grandma since she got back from Georgia. She says you better see her before you leave you because haven’t seen her in almost two weeks!” Mom didn't need to lay the guilt we were already excited for an evening with Grandma.

The truth is I can’t wait to get out of here. I love being back home, but it’s time for a road trip (almost 2 months in one place, yuck!). I figure we’ll be in the car about 40 hours over break. That’s quite literally a full-time job, ahh! Well, doing two weeks worth of laundry tonight will be quite the undertaking too. The joys of seminary life are almost too much sometimes.
