Dear Bloomington,
I appreciate your kindness as I was temporarily displaced in your city for the past 2 years. I enjoyed the food, the company, the outdoors, the crew, the proximity to a larger city, my church, the work, the fun nights out, and the seasons. I didn't so much appreciate the [lack of] shopping (College Mall just didn't do it for me - thank goodness for Edinburgh and Indianapolis close by), some people I encountered, the extreme cold and snow, and the drama of academia. However, I will always hold fond memories of our time together. You were great and just what I needed. Thanks for taking care of me for the past 2 years.
After a brief 14.5 hour trip down south, I've made it safely back home. My life is still a hot mess - boxes everywhere, trying to unpack and repack, only to unpack again in another house and storage unit - but it is great to be home. Texas welcomed me with open arms (and 90 degree weather with insane humidity...no big deal). It's good to be back.
xoxo,
Annie
