Good luck, Brittany!
Brittany defends today. My fingers are crossed hard! Stick it to the man, lady!

Bloomington was lovely. Aaron and I just got back from a 3-day trip there. The reason for the trip was a wedding, but I got to see a lot of friends, and the weather was gorgeous. I really miss that place, and in the summer, it is idyllic – no undergrads with tons of free stuff to do, and of course lots of my friends! This is a pictures of me and my friend, Kristin. She’s about to embark on her one-year internship (like mine here in Memphis), but she’s doing hers in Houston. She also happens to have the two sweetest cats EVER! They definitely "play well with others" much better than my girls. We had the fortunate opportunity to petsit during both recent trips. Lucky us!
So very tired, but I’ll use the remaining energy I have to post the pictures I took tonight. I showed up with nearly dead batteries, so it isn’t my usual insane number of pictures, but it’ll do…

Oh, and Mike and Mark stopped by right as I was saying goodbye to Trisha. Mike was bumming that he’d missed his big opportunity to meet Chris and the second Rachel. Hey, at least he tried! Better luck next time, Mike!
Oh, and just in case I don’t get a chance in the next few days to follow this up, I want to thank Karen for the extremely generous gift. When I get these bookends out and put up on a shelf, I’ll be sure to take a picture and post it. She made them herself, and they are lovely. She even gave me a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble to get some books to put in between. What a great gift and a great surprise. My cup runneth over. 😀
