We had our closing show today and last load out. It was bittersweat for sure. I am going to miss being on the road but I am happy about coming home. During the last show one of the skaters decided to get the crew to come out during finale to give one a bow. It was a nice jester. And very nice to go take a bow. We worked hard for it. Most of the guys on to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Illinois/Champaign/blog-383848.html Ok so we just booked the cruse Please come back for updates in March of '09 http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Illinois/Champaign/blog-350085.html I awoke this morning to a strange noise coming from outside at around 830am. It sounded like a tractor. Completely forgetting what the forecast had said last night I opened my curtains to find a Winter Wonderland outside. There was snow EVERYWHERE I was so happy I immediately got dressed and went outside and played in the snow The rest is in the pictures. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Illinois/Champaign/blog-350038.html Today it snowed WOOO HOOOO How I love the snow it's meant to snow later this afternoon again too.

I was reading local newspaper and saw the vineyard's event calendar. Sleepy Creek is located between Champaign and Danville IL. Basically I called this region the cornfield country. A vineyard in East Central Illinois I got to check it out to fulfill my own curiosity. On a l http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Illinois/Champaign/blog-314054.html 7th Aug.

I'm a bit apprehensive about being solo for 3 weeks but hey time to oneself is rare in Graduate School. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Illinois/Champaign/blog-288643.html So Amanda and I have been sitting down together. Talking emailing online messaging. PLANNING. Europe. Six weeks. Together. Our first six weeks. Just us. And well friends. We're mapping out our honeymoon trek of a lifetime.We have been making list after list after list. Our fingers are calloused and blistered from writing. Our minds are calloused and blistered from thinking. But http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Illinois/Champaign/blog-276716.html Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
