So, I've definitely lost track of time with this....SO much has happened in the time I've been here, it's CRAZY to me that it's already the end of October. Travel season goes by so quickly, but it never seems that way when you're in...
So, I really can't believe this is my third travel season...I'm sitting in my hotel room, thinking about how just how much has changed from my first travel season to my third. I'm currently in Chicago, and have done about a week of travel...
"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired."--Fannie Lou Hamer Now while I don't know what this quote is entirely in reference to (and doubt it means what I'm using it for), it PERFECTLY encapsulates my feelings toward the past...
So, now it's been over a month since I've last written, and I feel AWFUL. I do have to wonder though, how many people actually read my blog. Truly! I'm just one of two staff bloggers, and I know the student bloggers are the highlight of this...

So it's definitely been awhile...I feel kinda bad, but I've been on the road for the past two weeks in Chicago, and things have finally settled down here, enough for me to post a recap! My travels to Chicago are always fun, and these past two...

A little sleepy today....It's gray and overcast and definitely a GREAT day for a nap. Its just TOO bad that I can't take one! So how much did you love the weather yesterday?! I was in St. Louis yesterday, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL there...

So I've been putting off this blog entry for almost a week now, and I figure now is the time to just buckle down and do it! I seriously can't believe how fast this month has gone. For some reason, it has been FLYING by, and I really can't...
To be honest, I don't really have a lot to talk about. Life has been pretty uneventful as of late, and while I welcome the change, it also can be boring! I'm hoping this weekend brings a little more excitement back into my life! There's a...
November 12...I REALLY can't believe that it's mid November already. This is my second week back in the office, first full week back (thanks to a random trip to Chicago last week) and let me tell you...I think I could be going cross-eyed. I returned...
Sitting my apartment. In INDY! I can now say that travel for 2007 is officially OVER. It is a little bit of a weird feeling, because I feel like my travel season went SO fast, and now it's November. Less than one month until December 1 st , and the...

October 25, 2007.....8 days left of my fall travel season. At this point, sitting at my parent's house in St. Louis I am READY to be done. It seems like I've lived six lives since I wrote last, and I'm not sure as to what I can specifically...
Week number five of travel....puts me more than halfway done. That seems so crazy, as time seems to have flown by, this week especially. One fair again this week means LOTS of down time, which is why I am SO thankful to have Troy around. :) This is his...

Week 2 in Chicago... Is WAY better than last week! I actually was in the office yesterday for our BU101 and it was so, so good to see everyone. The event went really well and people seemed to enjoy it, minus the extremely hot weather. I was able to grab...

Just got in to Chicago...my hotel is AWESOME! They just remodeled and everything is super nice. I'll be here for a week, so it's nice knowing that I have a comfy room and bed as my mini home away from home. This is travel week number 3, and I'll...
Life has been CRAZY recently! I finished my first week in St. Louis and it was a blast. I got home (Indy home) on Sunday, went to see Klint and Charlie (thanks for dinner, by the way!!), went to bed, went into work until noon and left for Chicago. Thanks...
