Wisconsin, the dairy and awesomness capital of America

I'm having a quiet Sunday morning here in Wisconsin.  It was a little over a year ago since I had a morning like this in this place.  In truth it feels a little weird.  So much feels familiar.  So much is unchanged.  In a lot of ways it feels like I never left...but in my head I know that I live 2000 miles away and I have a years worth of memories confirming that fact as well.  I know my life is now in Texas, but there is so much that feels right here.  As I said, it is a little weird.

I flew in yesterday.  The flight wasn't bad, though I'm pretty sure they had the rookie pilot and crew-in-training on the flight from Minneapolis to Milwaukee -- "the local time here in..." (pause...whispered conversation still audible over the PA system..."what city are we in?"...) "the local time here in Milwaukee is 12:15"  (it was actually  11:15).  Regardless I made it in one piece.  I got picked up by a good friend and got a chance to catch up a little.  We met up with some other folks, went to lunch and then met up with even more folks.  Went for a swim, talked, laughed.  It was good times.  Then, because I am now back in a place that is not a GUZILLION degrees and that has great running trails (seriously, Milwaukee park system is the best ever) I went for a nice little run.  Then dinner at a favorite Wisconsin resturant (I love you and miss you Noodles & Co), then a movie with popcorn and water (one of those Wisconsin traditions I have really really missed this last year) then talking and laughing until 2:00am.  **sigh of contentment**  It was a good day!

I'm excited for church today.  There are a lot of people I hope to see again (most of which do not know I'm in town).  Should be fun!
