What I Wore :: To Roll in the Grass
We have returned to Brooklyn from Des Moines. There was an evening of catching up with lifelong friends, a super successful trip to Goodwill to snatch up some new threads, a grass angel, a few hours scouring floors of rustic chic reclaimed furniture, some top notch wining and dining courtesy of my dad and his wife, adolescent secrets (like bags full of bedazzled velour gymnastics uniforms, band camp photos and old retainers) revealed to E as we cleaned out boxes of things from my old bedroom (good thing he already said 'I do'! sucker), caught an episode of 'The Price Is Right' with my Noni and indulged in an endless mimosa brunch. Life is good people, life is good.

Usually when I tell people we are going to Des Moines..... they stare at me with unresponsive and blank eyes. So, I have shared some fun little factoids with y'all below so everyone can be in-the-know on the basics of the DMI (that's your first lesson, 'the DMI' is the slang term for 'Des Moines, Iowa')..... write that down.
Don't ever say you didn't learn anything from this here blog!

So I worked one summer in Mexico and one of the guys on our team was from there and was actually on debate team in HS with a later to be slip knot guy! Nutso.
Love this post! Glad I got to be a part of it....it was such a great weekend!
So glad you and E came to visit. Great fun, food and chats. Now, it's time to visit in KS and share factioids about Jayhawkers. BTW, your childhood memories are now safe in OP:)
WHYYY does the midwest seem so lovely?! People always say that being from Miami must be like living in paradise but it's a one trick kind of town. I would kill for a hometown in Tennessee or Nebraska!

Natty - I'd kill for a sweet old rustic farm house as my hometown stop, but even the cities in midwest have some great charming qualities! I will say, I'd love to have the beaches like y'all do in Miami :)
