Don't Fence Me In.

Finally, I am back blogging. Nothing real thrilling has happened to me since my last blog. I guess the only thing that has changed is the fact that I have a new job. I feel like I finally have a grown-up job! I am working for Jack Henry which is a banking software company.

With this job I am traveling a bunch. I just home about 24 hours ago from my first trip. When I took the job I never imagined I would get the chance to go to Los Angeles, California. This was my first trip to LA and California for that matter! I had a great time!

This photo is of the crazy traffic we had to deal with every single morning just to get from our hotel in Burbank to downtown LA! 6 lanes of traffic are not for me!!

Just a view of the buildings in the downtown area

The really funky looking building is the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles.

I realized that I am a true Mid-Western girl, and I always will be. As the old Cole Porter song says:
"Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in"

I am not dogging people that live there, I just like the open area that I have grown up with. LA is just a different place that is not like any place I have been to in the U.S. of A. Great American city, but I was proud to be home :)
