Can't believe the year is almost over.  It feels like so much has happened and so little all at the same time.  Alas, more on that in the week to come.

I'm more excited about finally seeing Rachel again tomorrow!  It's been so long, and our schedules are so incompatible that it's hard to even arrange to Skype each other, and West Virginia is a bit ( Read more... )
