Sweet Flowing Music Through My Soul

It's happened again. I had to say good-bye to my love. Shortly after my last blog, my wonderfully amazing boyfriend came to visit and we went on a surprise road trip to Northern Wisconsin to see some of his family. These visits keep getting shorter and shorter and further and further apart from each other. This really is harder than I thought it would be. So, yes, he left again. He had is "real" job to get back to. Haha. I'm kidding. I love that he's got something that he is passionate about and does whole-heartedly. He needs that.

But I'm going to miss him dearly.

And all of a sudden this week has included just as much travel as my month of September. Except not such far distances. We were in Eastern Minnesota on Tuesday, Northern Wisconsin on Wednesday, back to Central Wisconsin on Thursday. Then tomorrow it's to Southeast Wisconsin for a STATE MARCHING BAND CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITION!! I'm really excited for that. Didn't know if you missed my enthusiasm. YAY!!

Yet, as I type this, I'm sad and listening to a song that everyone should hear at least once if not a thousand times in their life. I suggest everyone quick hit Youtube or iTunes and look for "River Flows In You" by Yiruma. My sister has been playing this on the piano and I'm in love with it. It is just the right balance of happy and sad. It's romantic. The story behind it is that it is also called "Bella's Lullaby". Bella as in the character in Stephanie Meyer's novels in the Twilight Series. It is talked about in almost every book in the series and is in the movie based on the first book that comes out in November. I had no intention of reading the book, but my sister talked me into it and although I'm well out of the intended target audience for the book, it is one that I loved.

And on my last note before I go lose in tennis with my best friend and her mom, I want to see if anyone knows if the street on Highway 8 in Wisconsin curiously named 24 3/8th Street is similar to Harry Potter's Platform 9 3/4. Do you suppose that if I'd have taken that street, I'd end up in a mythical world full of enchanting creatures and endless magic?
