Long Weekend in NC
Dec. 13th, 2003 11:35 pm( Blow by blow of the days since I left Albuquerque cut for length. )
We're using our APS camera after getting it a new battery; I just have to take a few more pictures and I'll develop all of the photos I've taken since we bought the film (four rolls). I took a bunch of pictures of Heidi with it when I realized that all of her pictures are online, plus I got a bunch of Denny, Heather, Regina, and Danielle. Maybe they'll have broken ground by the time we get home, and I'll easily be able to burn five pictures on that. Or maybe Gail and Heidi will do something really cute.
So, to summarize: great trip, though we didn't get to see Clubjuggler anywhere near enough. The area is still familiar, though there have been some significant changes; construction projects barely begun when we left are now fully open stores, for instance. It was nice seeing Heather and co, but again it was too short. Visiting here feels very much like visiting home still, and is a little bittersweet overall. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and I would absolutely love it if Andy can convince his work to send his to liase with UNC every three months or so, if not more often. I do miss the kitties, though, so I'm glad to be going back home. Andy doesn't quite feel like NM is home yet, but I've relocated so often that I generally consider a place home fairly quickly; I think it's a survival tactic or coping strategy or something.
