*squeals* in less than twenty long minutes, I will be boarding a flight that [unfortunately takes me to Ohio, first–SNORE–the second worst state] will take me to the most majestic state; HELLO, WISCONSIN! I absolutely cannot wait to get off of that plane and breathe in my first breath of that fresh Wisconsin air. If you couldn’t have guessed, I’m a full-breed, born and raised Wisconsinite. Wisconsin is home for me. No matter where I have lived, live and will live–Wisconsin and the Midwest will always be home.

You asked what a Sconnie is

There are so many weird little things I am excited for about this trip. Obviously the usuals and the reason I go home, to see my family but beyond that there is more. Let me give you a breakdown of the simple joys I cannot wait to encounter

a squeaky cheese curd- when a cheese curd is fresh is squeaks on your teeth
the Brewers game
Miller Park
tailgating–I’m sorry Nats I love y’all, but shoot, you have to get it together with tailgating
sipping on coffee on the front porch in the morning
hanging out by the bonfire at night
listening to the crickets and frogs as I fall asleep
sleeping with my windows open
wearing that perfect summer outfit: a long sleeve and shorts
enjoying a Spotted Cow
kayaking to on the lake
the local coffee shop where everyone knows your name
seeing familiar faces at church
a fish fry
the back country roads

Being back in Wisconsin at my parent’s house is always surreal, but this time is going to be better than ever. I cannot wait to get back there and to be greeted by the warm embrace of my loved ones. I cannot wait to get a thousand kisses from my pup and I cannot wait to sleep in a twin bed. So, here’s to you Wisconsin! I’ll be seeing you!

*oh and as soon as I land, I get to experience why airports are the best places on earth (wait for another post on that). Waiting for me at the security check-in will be Matt, yup you guessed it: the boyfriend. What are we waiting for let’s get this show on the road, plane!
