William, Wolfgang, August, and Me

As you all know, I spent a month up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan this summer. Getting there and back required a good, old fashioned, eight hour, Midwest road trip. So, to restart my blogging, I thought we'd play a game of, "You Know You're on a Midwest Road Trip When..." Here we go! You know you're on a Midwest road trip when... The first question is which truck is the best truck for this particular trip.  Passengers swap stories about working in the corn fields.  At least half of the drive is through construction.  You stop to pick up a friend and get stuck at his house for at least half an hour as his father shows off his wood shop... and the gun case he made... and his bows.  There is a spirited debate as to which era of country music was the best era of country music.  At least one person in the car has been to wedding in a barn... or a restaurant in a barn... or a bar in a barn... basically anything in a barn. You're five hours into...

I'm back from trip to IVLI! But due to the late hour and the absolute exhaustion of travel, you will have to wait until later for an update. In the meantime, enjoy a random photo of a lake that I pulled off Pixabay and imagine you also spent the last month camping, too. Talk to you soon!

Today I head off to IVLI. IVLI (InterVarsity Leadership Institute) is a month long camp for the purpose of sharpening leadership skills and getting closer to God. It's also in the middle of nowhere, up in the UP of Michigan, so I will be without WiFi for the next month. Unfortunately, this means that you will have to wait until at least July 28th (maybe longer if I'm exhausted) before you get an update on Will, Wolfy, Gus, and me. But, the good news is, after such a big month, I should have plenty to talk about when I get back. So keep your eyes peeled!
