Happy belated Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have enjoyed your Thanksgiving to the fullest! I had a lovely time. We here at CVV celebrated with a huge meal on Monday, hosting about 50 people in our house. We each made a different dish (my contribution was pumpkin roll) and overall, it was simply delectable.

Then on Thursday, I hopped on the Greyhound and spent my Thanksgiving heading east to Lincoln, Nebraska, to visit my dear friend Megan Kelley, her fiancee Raj, and Megan's family. I spent a lovely long weekend there. How strange and sweet it is to be with old friends! It was a luxury to reminisce with someone who has known me longer than three months, but we also looked ahead - Megan is getting married in July, and so I spent a lot of time cavorting with her and her mom, looking for wedding cakes, photographers, catering, and wedding dresses. I am sworn to secrecy about everything! So no prying!

I took the nine-hour trip back west on Sunday, was treated to a magnificent sunset and a glad reunion with my housemates. And now, back at work! It was good to go, and it was good to return.
