Saturday was the trip down with him, his mom and ( Read more... )

TOday I slept in for the first time in a very long time. It was quite nice, despite being awake for two hours at 8AM reading before I could drift off again. I have yet to begin the unpacking bit, but I am working on it ( Read more... )
