T. and I just returned from a highly enjoyable vacation where we got to see and experience many different things (some initial pictures are on facebook). T. has been my best friend for six years now (my wonderful husband for 3 and a half years) and while so much has happened during that time, it all seems remarkably short ( Read more... )

Graduate school is getting better. The first month was rough, I’m not really sure of all the components that went into making it that way, but it was.
