Memories from home . . .

So it's been a while since I've posted anything, but a lot has happened since then. About two weekends, I experienced the best weekend in Vermont. A fellow Aggie friend dropped by to visit me on her way to Montreal. Unfortunately, due to an opening gallery reception, I could not accompany her, however we had lunch and chatted about the differences from Texas to New England. It was fun being able to relate to someone else. Afterwards, on Sunday I went on a pretty hefty shopping spree with my graduate colleague. I was able to find a nice winter jacket from columbia, and really good winter boots. I also splurged on some nice dark pink/red/maroon flats, which I adore, and some nice black heels to replace my 4yr old heels. AND then on Monday evening, Joe arrived at the Burlington airport sporting his much needed winter jacket for the weather. Since then, I have had a blessed two weeks being able to arrive to my man . . . and sometimes dinner. haha. He was quick to notice the differences and the items that I 'needed', he begged me to take him to wal mart so he could get me what I needed, but what I truly needed was his presence. I was heading towards that "october wall" head first, and with his arrival and my friend's visit, I was able to avoid it and now am sure to take on the rest of the semester with triumph!
