Settling in

This morning my parents and I drove up to Plymouth, moved all my essentials (lap top, yarn, books, purses, etc.) into the house where I'm staying for the summer. We had to stop at a Cub Foods because the Cub in Ames closed and my dad misses their fine beer selection. :)

I'm staying with a wonderful couple who hosted one of my friends from the Culinary Science Club 2 summers ago when she had an internship at General Mills. This couple is super sweet. They're calling me their "summer daughter." I'm so greatful for my friend who connected me with them and for this couple who've opened their home to me for the summer.

My parents and I drove to General Mills and back to the house so I know where I'm going tomorrow when I start my internship. It only took 15 minutes, but I'm told that in city traffic it will take double to triple that amount of time to get to work and back...guess who gets to work on her patience this summer?!?! ME! :)

Last week I got to cook for the lifegaurds and some of the support staff at Riverside, it was wonderful. I am going to miss that kitchen and the people in it. I've worked there for the last 5 summers so it is hard to let go, but I will still get to help at retreats, so that is reasurring.
