Leaving Iowa

I was pretty awed today at the public support the community showed t0 our company. It couldn't have been much warmer then 15 degrees and yet there were a ton of people lining the streets to wave flags and hold up signs. We even had a police escort! It was a tearful goodbye for many this morning, and it kind of made me glad I did mine a couple of days ago. I'm a fairly private person when it comes to my emotions. I miss my children and I know as time goes on I will miss them more, but I take consolation in the fact that I am one day closer to being back home with them. I have been seriously reconsidering my profession, and may look into a non-traveling job so as to stay closer. If its possible without shorting them and their quality of life I may very well do just that. Anyway, below are a couple of pictures I had the presence of mind to take before we left the town. Its pretty cool :)
