Just when I think the pace of my life cannot move any quicker, somehow it gets kicked up another notch. The last two weeks have been a blur. We have not been able to keep up with anything in the house due to outside obligations, and my personal projects? Forget it. I have an article due next week, blog posts to catch up on, reviews to write, lacrosse club forms to create…the list goes on.
And today I find myself writing this post on my phone, in the passenger seat of my car while the 17 year old drives the two of us to visit a college in Dubuque, Iowa. As we speed by the browning cornfields, I wonder how simplified my life would be if I lived out here. I imagine a much slower pace, a more relaxed me.
Then, as my son turns up Sammy Hagar, I realize I would not have it any other way.

Are you in the new ride too?
Impressive writing a post from your phone, maybe I should try that!!!
Happy college visiting!
Corn is very boring to look at after 5 minutes.
College visits? Ah. And so it begins.
Corn and flat land are very boring. Now what about our mountains that would not be boring.
I guess he has not looked at a college in this area.
Today the sky is crying, very wet here but fall colors are starting just a little.
Good luck with looking, how many more do you have to go?
Love
Grandma W
P.S. Where is your new laptop?
My life has been too hectic for about 3 months now. At least you are keeping up the blogging. I wish I were as dedicated. Don't follow Sammy too far. You know that can lead to Mas Tequila.
I can say I have actually been to that town. I had a soccer tournament there in college.
Hee hee — that was my exact thought as I drove home from STL on Monday. Ahhh for the simplicity. AHHH for the simplicity 😉 And you need to share the details on the visit you know….
