Phog.

Week three of traveling has come and gone, and starting tomorrow, I am in the office for one full week. Although I am loving traveling, this week in the office couldn't come at a better time. Last week I was in Wisconsin, and it was quite beautiful. Most of the trees have started to change, and I was constantly gawking at the colors and how different it looked. I also got lost several times, and on my way home at the end of the week I drove down the wrong road for 30 miles before I realized I wasn't where I thought I was.

So, what have I seen along the way? I am sure you are wondering, so I will show you by deeming this a photo blog, my phog, if you will.

The red, gold, orange, and green of Wisconsin in the fall.

This is only one example of the windy, curvy, tree covered highways I have told you about.

Remember that time I told you about when I was following that oversized load on an impassable highway? Well, here's proof.


And here's my speedometer while impatiently following--notice it says 38 mph.

But, if anything can make the drive better, it's a rainbow. It's kindof hard to see...



This is the beauty of driving in the fog early in the morning...

You cannot see anything...

Here's a quaint little church just off the highway outside of Dubuque.

And the Abbey across the road.


And, well, look at this....Sometimes, when she's lucky, I stop by to see my five month old niece Emerson because she's pretty much on my way to most areas of my territory. I know, she's friggen' adorable, isn't she?! Oh, and that's my sister, Autumn, and brother-in-law, Clint.

This week, everyone is out in different places--Colorado, Minnesota, Kansas City, all over Iowa--but, me, I get to stay in I-town. I have a lot of office stuff to catch up on, and haven't done my laundry since I started traveling as life has been so busy, and well, it's about time I do that. So, this week couldn't have come at a better time. Also, a few students I've met along the way are coming to campus for visits, so I am excited to be there to meet with them!!
