1. staying in the homes of incredibly unique and diverse members across the states
2. getting to look into a beehive with the head mask on and everything, and even better getting some homemade honey- gosh people are nice.
3. minneapolis--- everything about it: i found a new love with that city
4. butterflies on the ferris wheel at navy pier in chicago
5. watching the elementary kids giggle and squeal as we teach and perform for them, priceless
6. makin up silly dances in the back of a greyhound bus
7. changing time zones five times in two days;)
8. water aerobics and synchronized swimming in the pool
9. finding two new plates for nebraska and minnesota for my collection
10. getting to write a lot in my journal about devin
11. being frugal: not buying things is becoming more satisfactory than buying them
12. seeing wrigley field and the notre dame campus: that's for you bryon
13. the feeling of sending your love a postcard
14. winter quarters. squishing people in bunkbeds. pulling handcarts. temple. period.
the miraculous feeling of, "this is where i'm meant to be" and meeting people you know you are ' supposed' to meet
15. taking class at the joffrey ballet
16. phone calls with devin
17. best inspirations for home decor in des moines, random, minniapolis and old houses.

Sounds like such a great time! I miss having you on tour with me in Europe! Loved the highlights! So I hope I'm not too late, but the place in interlaken (don't know how to spell that?) is called Funny Farm. That one is great. Really I think any of the hostels you get there are pretty nice so no worry! Hope you have safe travels! p.s we just got back from our little adventure and it was incredible! So excited for you guys!
