I mean it's right there.

ugh I am the worst promise-keeper when it comes to blogging.  Guys it's hard to blog every day during finals AND the Olympics. 

recently I reviewed my list of states I’ve visited.  I don’t really count layovers unless I had like a meal and a nap at the airport … I do count driving through them  though-  I’m not a professional list maker or anything. 

 It’s my list, go easy on me.

anyway… this is my list and if it’s crossed out, I’ve been there. 

Alabama    Alaska    Arizona    Arkansas    California    Colorado    Connecticut    Delaware    Florida   

Georgia    Hawaii    Idaho    Illinois    Indiana    Iowa    Kansas    Kentucky    Louisiana    Maine    Maryland

    Massachusetts    Michigan    Minnesota    Mississippi    Missouri    Montana    Nebraska    Nevada   

 New Hampshire    New Jersey    New Mexico    New York    North Carolina   North Dakota    Ohio   

 Oklahoma    Oregon    Pennsylvania    Rhode Island    South Carolina    South Dakota    Tennessee    Texas 

   Utah    Vermont    Virginia     Washington    West Virginia    Wisconsin    Wyoming

“what?!!!!!  You’ve NEVER been to New York, Boston OR Chicago???”

Nope.  I know, right?

pretty soon we are leaving for our vacation in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan which means I get to cross three more states off my list….

*ugh.. I just noticed I misspelled "Wisconsin"... but it's too much work to change it. 

I’m hoping Matt will agree that we should go home a different way (this way) and cross 3 MORE states off my list and maybe just maybe stop in Chicago for like lunch with Oprah or at least a picture?  I mean it’s RIGHT there. 

also... round of applause for my awesome state-drawing (tracing) skills...
