this past week ryan was back in illinois and it was pretty fabulous. i took him home to meet the family- which was completely ridiculous. it was everything that i had imagined it to be, both good and bad. but they adored him. i met his grandma and hung out with his family for a while. it was nice to be able to hang out because he was so close as opposed to three hours away. i didn't even realize how nice that would be. but of course it was only for a week, and he is going back to iowa on sunday. part of me is still disappointed that he chose to stay in iowa for the summer, even though i should be used to it by now. well, it was nice while it lasted.
