Only after going back and thinking about the title of this post do I think it might not come off the way I wanted it to.
Oh well.
So today Eric and I headed out to Omaha. After hanging out in Ames a couple of days, we finally packed my three suitcases and my “Martin Tub” [the name I gave to my Wal-Mart plastic tub that carries everything I need for surviving in Martin for Orientation], and Eric’s stuff and headed to Omaha for two weeks. I’m not sure how often I will be able to get to the blog, but I will try my best to keep up! I don’t have much longer before I am writing my farewell post [hopefully just for the summer 
] so I have about a two month break from lonestarcyclone.com, sadly enough. But never fear! It will give me plenty of info to dish out in my posts in the fall! Plenty of juicy tidbits and dirt to let you in on. 
Just kidding. But really.
I’m happy to go to Omaha for about ten days. It’s nice to have a break and not actually have anything planned. Besides riding our road bikes together and hanging out and enjoying each other’s company, we’re also going to see some friends in West O, as the Omaha-ians call it, and catch up with his parents. Eric’s brother’s fiance also lives in Council Bluffs, which is right next to Omaha, so that will be fun to catch up on. Katie has asked me to be her personal attendant on the day of the wedding, so I’m pretty excited for that. She’s my soon to be sister-in-law, so I might as well get to know her. Hah, hint, hint.
I’ve been taking trips to Omaha since fall of 2006, when Eric and I first started dating. Memorial Day Weekend, in fact, was the first time I went and stayed with him and his family. I had met his family two weeks before that when they drove up for a football game [back when both of us were in band together! sheesh, it seems like so long ago!], so I had already gotten to know them and everything. Oh, how the time flies. It’s weird to think about it now, but that’s a completely different post. Good idea for a post, though. I’ll make sure to jot that down! Coming soon, advice from a college student on “What I Wish I Knew!”
Anyway, hope all my readers are doing well! I know it might seem a tad bit boring if you read my blog and it’s not all necessarily about school, but I think it makes it more interesting for you to get to know who I am.
Wow. Check out the difference between these pics! Hah! The top one is from the week I visited him in Minneapolis, if you were following, last summer, and the bottom one is from the first trip to Omaha! Not only does time fly, but your self-concept and your appearances sure do, too!
If you have any questions, feel free to email me! Wish me safe travels!
Until next time,
Seanna
