In February 2005, I packed up all my belongings and made the big move from Iowa to Washington, DC. I absolutely love living in the city, but I think the old saying holds true: you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.

Hi Jenny,
I love that saying! I recently returned to Des Moines, Iowa from Los Angeles. I altered it a bit by saying “You can take a girl out of Iowa, but you can’t take the Iowa out of a girl.”
I have an idea of something Iowa-related you can blog about if you’re interested. Just send me an e-mail for more details.
Thanks,
Hillary

Hi Jenny – found your blog through one of WordPress’s “possibly related” links. I did the same thing in 1990 – moved from central PA right into downtown DC. Family thought I was crazy but 20 years later, here I still am and I love it!
coincidentally, we have lifelong friends who live in Lee County IA – near Keokuk.
I’ll be reading your blog in the coming weeks!
