Why Illinois is Better Than Wisconsin

I went home over the weekend to go boating with some friends out at my Dads. I was only home for a day but it made me so homesick. I know that God has brought me to Beloit and I know this is where I'm supposed to be right now...it's just hard sometime. In light of that I will make a list (because who doesn't like a good list) of why IL is so much better that the Beloit...aka, the butthole of America.

• Mom
• Beth
• Mandy
• Dave
• Matt
• Knowing roads like the back of my hand. I love when I can drive through the country and know exactly where I am even when I can't see anything else.
• Boating. I love boating. It's one of my favorite things to do.
• Avanti's. Only the best cheap Italian you can get. And don't get me started on their ranch.
• Green Gables. It's not that the food is that great (it's pretty good) but it's just a must after a day of boating.
• Illinois night skies are amazing. I don't know if it's all the factories here in Beloit or what...but the sky just never looks the same.
• Bloomington. I think it may always be my favorite town. Not sure why...I just love it.
• There is no smell of a potato chip factories lingering in the are. There is a Frito Lay factory here in Beloit and it smells like straight up butt funk. I hate it.
• Right along the same lines of knowing the roads...knowing where things are. I'm sure I'll figure it out around here...but it's an annoying process.
• And I'll end again with my friends. Mom, Beth, Mandy, Dave, Matt.

Blah. Stupid Wisconsin.
