Spontaneous in Madison

I arrived in Madison yesterday shortly after noon and it was a day of spontaneity. It began with two girls from the University of Wisconsin Madison who left me a message after seeing the Milwaukee newspaper article. They said they’d be more than happy to have me for the night. So I met up with Nicole and had a pretty long walking tour of campus, State Street, and the capitol. I even had some more delicious ice cream. I said I was going to try a different kind in every state, but I’ve already had three kinds in Wisconsin already: strawberry Oreo custard, orange custard chocolate chip, and Ben and Jerry’s Magic Brownies. I’m off to a good start. After the ice cream and tour I met up with Marissa who I know through a friend from MSU. I tagged along to the UW Student Leadership Program welcome meeting. It was good to observe another university, brought me back to the early days at MSU. From there I met up with Adam (my brother) and his girlfriend Kimmie. It’s always great to visit. As we’ve grown older and more mature I think we enjoy each other’s company more and more. And then I came back to the girls places where five girls brought me out for a night in Madison.

Spontaneous indeed. None of it was expected and none of it was planned. A great way to live. My time was short lived in Madison and it’s time to move on to Lake Villa, IL. -xo
