It has become an annual tradition to load up our car and
caravan with friends to go visit Kyle’s mom in the tiny rural city that is
Twelve Mile, Indiana. To an outsider it
may seem like an odd choice for a vacation but for those who have experienced
the trip it is a utopia of sorts. This
year we brought the biggest crew yet and I’m so thankful that Paul and Deborah
are so easy going because anyone else would have been panicked. We took 6 friends with us this year for a
total of 8 twenty something year olds for almost a whole week.
One of the best things about visiting farm country is that
the pace of life is very different. The
farmers work incredibly hard and stay very busy but there is a more relaxed
pace. It is also very quiet and peaceful
on the farm. There is very bad cell
phone reception so we all took a break from our constant connection to the
internet as well and it’s amazing what a difference that makes. While we were there we watched lawn mower
races, ate at an amazing Italian restaurant in Logansport, went to the river,
went to the lake, fed cows, visited buffalo, made bonfires, played guitar, played
ladder ball, took naps, read books, and ate way too much!
It was so nice to spend so much time with friends and family
and it really recharged my batteries which I really needed. You often don’t realize how tired you are
until you are caught up on sleep and realize how much better you feel! Now I just have to try and keep that relaxed
and content feeling as things get crazy again at work and in life at home.
