Now that I am finally here, I am a little less nervous but just as excited. Flying in was nerve racking, but getting to see how different Iowa is from home is interesting. Everything is so flat and straight and organized. Even the cemetery that we passed over was in neat little rows as opposed to the conglomeration of headstones in the cemeteries at home. I’m so used to the hills and twisting roads of Greenville that it was completely foreign to drive straight for so long.
I feel very comfortable here. Even the smell is comforting, oddly enough. I think it reminds me of my grandparents’ house in Indiana, or maybe just the barn. I loved seeing all of Denny’s tractors and machines. I can’t wait to relearn how to drive one! Today was a good start, but now that it’s over, I’m utterly exhausted.
