Indiana in the Rear View Mirror

So my time had come to leave Indiana. The west coast, the ocean, and the mountians had been pulling me back since I had arrived in the dead-flat, ocean-less Mid West. Tim arrived on Thursday, November 8th (!) so I went up to Indy to pick him up, he didn't know I was coming and he was nicely surprised. ;)

That night we got all dressed up for fun and went to dinner at Tallent. The next day we packed up, went to the Chocolate Moose (a Bloomington must for any visitors) one last time, ran some errands, (had way too much fun in the Walmart camping/survival section) then later went out with Alan and Emily. On Saturday, we woke early and met Alan, Dave, and Krissy at the Farmer's Market and from there we headed back to Tallent to cook some breakfast.

Dave and Krissy cooked while Tim, Alan, and myself sat and talked. Breakfast was great and it was really good to have all of us together for a send off breakfast. But, we didn't have too long to dilly-dally because the car still needed to be packed up.

So Tim and I said our goodbyes and went on our way, packed up the car. Threw out what wouldn't fit in the back of my Subaru, and we were on our way. I needed to get out of Indiana. It was not a good place for me. When we were leaving I was having feelings of regret. Regrets that I was doing the wrong thing, giving up on a job. But, Tim kept reminding me just how much it was running me down and had changed who I was in just three months time. Imagine what I would be like after the year I was supposed to stay.

The further we got from Bloomington, the better I got...
