Ryan, my mom, and my dad just got back from an Iowa vacation tonight. They were visiting my grandparents on my Dad's side. I really wished I could've gone, because I love going there. Everything is much slower and I actually have time to read and think and enjoy the plain ol' company of another person--but not many, many other persons. To be honest, it's hard for me to enjoy the company of, well, however many people are stated above, at the same time.

Well, goodnight then! :)
