From mountains to grain bins


I'm always been so amazed at how diverse and beautiful God's artwork of nature is. I loved the mountains and the beauty of the changing leaves in New Hampshire. The trees all change colors at different rates making the hills a vast array of green, yellow and red. Most of my non-Midwest friends tell me how boring it looks out here on the prairie-lands. No trees, no mountains, just corn and cows! But I've found that nothing compares to a prairie sunset with no trees or other 'stuff' blocking the magnificence of it.

I've almost completed my second week here in Minnesota. This is one of the most positive working environments that I have worked in. No one talks behind each other's backs and they all get along. I'm getting a taste of a broad scope of physical therapy (inpatient, nursing home, outpatient, home health). I'm excited for the learning opportunity! It's funny how just 2 hours away from Sioux Falls there is a difference in dialect. Hopefully I won't be getting an even worse Minnesooootan accent before I'm done here :)
