I've blogged before about how I've never really felt at home in Emporia. I've never even really considered a permanent stay in Emporia. That is still true, even more so now that I finally have a job lined up in Wichita and will be moving in the middle of next month. However, there are still some things that Laura and I will miss about Emporia.1. Wheat State Pizza (http://www.wheatstatepizza.com/) - The best pizza we've ever had. You can get either white or wheat crust, but when you're there, why get anything other than wheat? Every other pizza place does white crusts. The wheat crust is simply phenomenal. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll open a store up in Wichita.
2. ESU Coworkers - You couldn't really ask for better coworkers. They have their flaws and quirks like everyone else, but I wouldn't have enjoyed my time at ESU nearly as much if it were not for them. They know who they are.
3. Dayton's Hobby Shop - This shop in downtown Emporia has served our hobby and craft needs from model paints to doll stands for Transformers. It's locally owned, and although more expensive than the bigger box hobby stores like Hobby Lobby, it has a different atmosphere that we like.
4. Via Crucis - This is the group that Laura plays flute for at local area churches and occasionally other functions. Liz, Mindy, Rick, and Brian have been great, especially with the kids. Liz cantors at the Mass that we normally attend, and every time after Mass, Rachel wants to "go see Liz."
5. Emporia State University - The campus is beautiful and grows on you after a while. If the leaves change and cover the ground before we leave, I'll have to actually take my camera there this time and get some pictures.
