Back home. And the universe is colliding.

A whirlwind trip. Cafe con leche, late nights with friends, dancing, a fairy tale wedding, and a really long trip home. And then… everything else. Too much to tell here, yet. Suffice to say, changes are afoot. Enjoy the pics. I will hereby commence regular posting. Missed you all.

Unexpected

Shit. It was way harder than I thought to say goodbye to Bean. Damn. That kid has my heart.

This is a test from a fancy-schmancy i-Pod Touch Dh just got for our trip. Clearly we are tech obsessed. UPDATED: Oh yeah, and I’m officially done with school today. So thrilled. My toes are pretty. My bags are packed. We leave tomorrow.
