Things I Learned in Michigan...

I just returned from an amazing trip to the "land of my youth" - which is not entirely true since I don't think I have grown up yet. This was the first time I had ever taken a vacation by myself. I feel like this weekend was one of those "watershed" moments in my life. I re-connected with old friends and made new ones, did new things and experienced life. Here's the list:

• Drink water while driving a convertible down the highway for half the morning.
• I can get sun through my clothes.
• RDU is the worst airport I have ever been in.
• DTW is the second worst airport I have ever been in.
• I have a new appreciation for CLT airport.
• One of the best times of day to solve the world's problems (or at least your own) is from about 2am - 4am.
• Always travel with a fan.
• Everyone has a story to tell - listen! Shut your trap and listen!
• The roads in Michigan are like war zones.
• True friends take you the way you are and don't' judge you for what you have done.
• The Jonas Brothers are Christians.
• I have completely conquered my fear of flying! WOW! Thank you Lord...ALL YOU.
• I would rather sit and talk all day with interesting kids than a lot of things...if you treat kids like they have something important to say then your life will be happier - they will fill it with joy.
• EVERYTHING changes, some changes are not so good, but most are great, unexpected...
• My worth does not revolve around how well I can sing or how good I am at working on computers.
• Never pass up an opportunity to tell someone how much they mean to you.
• I love XM Satellite Radio.
• The traffic in Winston-Salem is...er...NOT EXISTENT!
• Never forget to mingle...even when you don't want to...

NEW ONES I thought of later...

• "O Brother Where Art Thou" is an awesome movie...I love ""A Man of Constant Sorrow".
• Some of the best times may come when you are doing practically nothing...

That's enough for now.
