Finally experiencing Fall

Oh how I have missed Minnesota! I am currently back in this grand state on a vacation from Texas. The leaves are beautiful and the weather is chilly. I saw a ton of friends when I went to the main academic building when afternoon classes were done with and got bombarded by people, it was amazing. Tonight my friends had a cookout at 7pm, so, it was basically dark out. We grilled up some hot dogs and my vegetarian friend ate chicken for the first time in 4 years! We loved it. The friend I'm staying with made an apple caramel crisp pie, wow was it delicious! She also made a pumpkin pie but we didn't eat it. And it got cold out! I loved it! I know, I know, call me crazy. But I don't get to experience my hands hurting from being cold in Texas.

So anyway, I'm loving being back up north. It feels a little weird not having a "home" on campus and there are many new faces, but plenty of familiar ones! Tomorrow one of my friends and I are going to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in LaCrosse, WI. We're only going in the morning, but we both haven't seen the completed church (which they believe will be dedicated as a basilica).

Oh man, I am tired... ok, so random post.... catch y'all on the flip side!

You're usually in Texas while I'm usually in Wisconsin. Now I'm in Ohio while you're in Minnesota. Small World, but big enough for us to switch states and then go on trips at the same time.
