Honk if you love IOWA

Honk if you love IOWA

Last night, I was feeling tricksy.

First, I ate one of Henry’s dog biscuits (just to see what it tasted like) and discovered that it was tasteless, dry and kind of gross.  I don’t know why he likes those things, but I can tell you that it really ticked him off that I ate one of his treats and didn’t give one to him.

Second, I made a HONK IF YOU LOVE IOWA sign to put in the back window of the car on the drive to Iowa.  (Yes, we’re going.)

I will be tabulating the number of legitimate honks we receive as we drive up to Iowa this evening, and I shall report on them on this here blog tomorrow.  I realize that most of you would not honk if you saw me driving down the road, because you do not realize what you are missing.  Iowa is the best.  (Joey knows this, too, because I sang Fifty Nifty United States for him this morning, ending with the “I-O-W-A IS THE BEESSSSSSSTTTTT” part…that song is way too long.)

Joey’s getting shiny new tires put on our car this morning.  I hope they make us drive faster.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.

  1. First: I hope Joey made you brush your teeth before he let you kiss him after eating HENRY’S TREAT.
    Second: HONK!

  2. I’ve never been to Iowa, but I doubt you would lie to me, so HONK!!!

  3. Wow, I didn’t know anyone else knew the Fifty, Nifty United States song besides me!!! Of course I learned in in grade school in Illinois so we had to sing Illinois is the best!!!!!!
    Of course now, Iowa is the best!

    HONK HONK!!

  4. I absolutely LOVE that song! Whenever we would play categories in the pool, I would always say that my category was states because I knew I could name them all, so everyone would HAVE to swim across at some point. :) I do have to say that I always sing that Texas is the best. (Sometimes I might throw in South Carolina or Colorado if we’ve just been on vacation, but even if I sing those, I feel guilty and have to go back and add Texas in there. Hehe)
