So I was lucky enough to come back to my sweet home of Indiana for 3 weeks for an audit! And I even got to stay with my parents and have my own rental car! When I picked up the rental in Michigan, I was given a Mercury Grand Marquis which are usually driven by people who are 65 and over. It was massive! So once I got to Indiana, I made some phone calls and got myself hooked up with a convertible! I've been cruising around for the last 3 weeks "top down, screaming out 'money ain't a thing'" to quote my sister.
This audit also couldn't have fallen at a better time because it fell over the weekend of my sister's wedding! So I got to hang out with her and our family who was here from Turkey up until the big day! The weather for the weekend was predicted to be awful and rainy due to Ike but God wanted to see my sister get married outside so he made it sunny that Saturday. We were so thankful!
The rest of my time here has just been spent playing with friends and visiting with my family who lives here. I also got to have lunch with some people from both summers that I interned down here which was really nice. I was surprised how many people recognized me! Apparently I haven't changed much over the last 3 or 4 years!
Towards the end of the second week I realized that while a summer in Midland was great, I wasn't quite ready to go back yet for the fall and extended my trip an extra week. That brings me to today. I've been putting this week to good use by trying to see as many people as possible. And Friday evening, a bunch of my Kappas from school are getting together and then going to the Purdue football game on Saturday. I couldn't think of a better way to end my trip! I'm anxiously counting down the days until the rest of the crew arrives!!
Well this probably would have been longer and better if I remembered the blog a few weeks ago but what can you do? In a few weeks I'll be traveling to the Dominican Republic for a week long all inclusive vacation. I'm not sure if I'll have internet access there but I'll try to send an update when I get back! After that, I'm scheduled to be in Michigan until the end of the year but 2009 is still up in the air! Who knows where I'll be next!
All my love,
Emel
