What a beautiful day can do for your memories...today was SO gorgeous outside, which is sad because it was about 70 and still kind of gloomy, but it's days like this that make me miss home so badly. It's so nice to know that you can go home and go outside and run on the 4-wheeler path, or go riding, or just sit outside in the yard or on the patio in a lawn chair and not hear the constant noise of traffic or smell the stinking city. I miss living in the country, and I really do believe that being away from a small town makes you miss it. When you're there you think, man I can't wait to get out of this place...then when you "grow up" you can't wait to go back. To all of my friends and family, members of the town and even the people I don't know in CC, you made living in Kahoka such a wonderful way to live out my childhood and make me the person I am today. You learn values, character traits, respect, how to be a friend to anyone and everyone, the importance of family, how to love your neighbor (even if they're 2 miles away, lol) and in general...just how to be a great person! Not that you can't learn those things in the city, but you really don't understand how big of an impact living in a small town is unless you've done it. I don't want to have it any other way...and I hope to soon make my way back there!
