That's right! Another semester is behind us, and wow did it seem to go by fast. Maybe because it's summer time, maybe because of wishful thinking, or maybe just because hindsight is better than foresight...who knows? Semester #3 is gone, and a fresh, shiny new one will start tomorrow. Along with it will come new faces that we welcomed at the hail party this weekend. It's strange to think of Kerry as an upperclassman now, but it's a very good thing! I'm so proud of my straight-A student! That, and he was chosen to be a member of a committee for the AANA. Pretty swank, huh? But we all know how special he is, so I'll stop. I'm just SO proud of him and his accomplishments. This time next year (dare I say it) we'll be looking at other places to live! YAY! The end is in sight.
At the end of the semester we had a little free time to take a little vacation from PCB. Of all places, Kerry chose New Orleans. I was skeptical to say the least, but it turned out to be a wonderful trip! (Mostly because I like to eat, haha...) We spent the better part of 3 days and 2 nights in a beautifully restored old home that is now a B&B on Esplanade. The owner is a fabulous cook, too (absinthe in the sauce on the crepes? Hello?!) We had a good time touring the city on foot and taking in the music at night. We will be going back because there is so much more to do than we were able in the time allotted.
The trips were fun while they lasted, but it's back to life, back to reality tomorrow bright and early. It sure is good to have Otis back home (he stayed with my parents while we were gone), and maybe get back into a routine of sorts. Until then, the countdown rolls on. ;)
