I'm back...and I'm using names.

So, I graduated. (Hooray!) I packed up my stuff (with much help from Andy carrying heavy boxes) and left my friends and community I've been really enjoying. I got in the car with Andy and brother Mike (ha! like he's a friar or something!) and drove to Virginia. Now I'm here again and it's real. There's still too much from the last month or so to be able to write about...maybe later.

But, for now, Mike stayed for a few days and we had a great visit. It was his first time up here. I'll just say my weekend consisted of: good fresh food from the farmer's market, wine tastings at five different local wineries, long walks around the beautiful property here, catching up on sleep I missed during the end of classes and finals, kite flying, and lots of cooking with the bro (Mike is one of my favorite folks in the world to cook with!). Oh, and he made us chocolate mousse. So, not too shabby so far.

Now the visit is over, though. Mike went back to Atlanta and I'm still here. Andy's gearing up for the busy summer full of long days of summer camp. We'll see how it goes.

At least now we have tv!
