return to "minneanapolis"

such a short trip to winchester, don't know how much i like the quick weekend visit. however, it did give me just enough time there and i hadn't started to get bored or annoyed with the folks like usual. for some reason this visit opened my eyes to how "small town" winchester is, even though when i left it had 60,000 people in it, everyone is connected in some way. i can think of several examples of how people find out they're related to each other, or how we know so many people who own buisnesses in town. i definitly know i need to live in a city. you can go shopping without seeing anyone you know, there are a variety of places to go and you are constantly finding new areas to explore. i love it, i wouldn't trade it for the world. it was funny to listen to accents again too. each time i am amazed at how southern everyone sounds. when i was living there i never noticed, it was the people an hour south of me i thought sounded funny! (i love the twang, nick on the other hand...) we had quite a few folks ask us how "minneanapolis" was :) gotta love it! speaking of nick, he has a call back for the 3M inside sales position! he takes an assessment test and has another interview thursday! i'm so proud of him and we're really praying this works out. i loved having him home with me, i loved to watch him talk to the family friends i have known forever even when i know he hates meeting new people. i think everyone really liked him, and that thrills me! i wish some of the girls from high school would have stopped by, it was all adults - some of which i had never even met! it would have been nice to catch up with them face to face. oh well...christmas i suppose. well that's enough for today...i'm sure i have more to tell, but i like to keep the entries short so you're not overwhelmed reading them. please leave comments, i like to know that people are actually reading this!
