After a week in Florida with my family, Michael and I zipped up to Chicago for a week in the midwest visiting friends, attending a wedding, and then taking a road trip to visit his extended family. We’re currently near Peoria, Illinois, and tomorrow we head to Cincinnati, Ohio. We’re having a wonderful time catching up with family we haven’t seen in a few years – and getting so spoiled by Michael’s aunts and uncles!
It has been so refreshing and rejuvenating to spend time in this flat, fabulous small-town place. I’ve always loved seeing corn fields that stretch on for miles – it’s such a different landscape from what I grew up in and it reminds me of country music and Little House on the Prairie books. Tonight, for dinner, we ate corn from Michael’s grandparents’ farm!
I have lots more photos to share once we’ve settled in one spot for more than a couple days. In the meantime, I leave you with blue skies and corn fields!

My home state! You wouldn’t think a girl would miss those flat fields – it’s not the most scenic place, really – but I do.
Oh, I disagree – it’s a really scenic place! I have loved the long expanses of fields. It’s made our road tripping so much fun to have different scenery than we’re used to!
