the first journeys





Since this blog is called "Joanna's Journey's", I think I'll talk about my recent adventures. August 15th, I left Provo to go home to Wausau, Wisconsin. It was a great adventure traveling across the United States once again. However, this time Preston got to join in on the party! It was a lovely adventure with all the usual excitement-an ice cream stop at Little America, almost running out of gas, the fight to make sure that at least one person was awake enough to drive, the never ending fields of corn and soybeans, turning 19,000 miles in Preston's car. It was nice to finally arrive at home after the 22 hour drive.









The other fun trip I've been on since then was a trip to Aunt MaryAnn and Uncle Jim's this past weekend (8/24-8/25). It was fun to once again make the weekend trip that we always enjoyed growing up in Ohio. This was my first time at their new home in Minnesota, but everything was the same as always. Good food and good fun! This trip also served another purpose than just hanging out with family. I went through the temple for the first time. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to go again. As a hint-that next time will be next weekend, when we go down to visit Ben and Shannon in Memphis. It will also be the next time I post on this blog. How convenient!

Here it goes...

Well, here is my weblog. I don't think I'll be writing too much between now and when I leave for my mission. But, you never know. Maybe something super-dee-duperly exciting will happen between now and then. We'll just have to wait and see.
