been a long time

so i am back in the states and have been quite busy...after being surprised at airport in chicago (my mom dad bro sis bro in law and neph came to pick me up when i thought my friend kelly was going to... i was so excited to see them, that, yes, tears were shed!) i went back to champaign working and hanging out with the ones who remained in champaign. we had a blast going out and sleeping in. tsince then i have been floating around the midwest from st. louis to wisconsin. now i am in st louis getting ready for my nephews 2nd bday....which is tomorrow! will post some summertime photos now

peace
