Last night, Allison and I saw the Indigo Girls in Richmond. A great show with a great friend!

And I got the bonus of seeing Mike, Matt, and all the pets. 

(Back up to WV this morning.)

Williamsburg with Mike and Allison

28 December 2024: On our way back home, Jane and I stopped in Colonial Williamsburg and met up with Mike and Allison. It was really nice to spend time with them, walking around the decorated town, having lunch, and catching up.  

(Bummed that I didn't get any pictures!)

Nearly twenty-five years since I graduated from Roanoke and getting close to twenty-nince years since I met this group of women (and Mike!) who have been such blessings in my life.

Filled with so many emotions and so much love for Allison and Mike.

Norfolk Reunion, Day Two

Day Two was pretty perfect, too.

Video-chatting, almost one year in...

[Catch-up post...]

Late on my daily post for the first time is a long time, but I am going to use it as an excuse to go meta and talk about another anniversary. You see, last night's weekly video chat with my college friends went extra-long and was extra-awesome. Mike joined us again (two weeks in a row), which made it even better. As we talked, we realized next week would be the one-year anniversary of our first video chat. It is not an overstatement to say this: I am not sure what I would have done without these friends and these weekly chats. What a gift.

Day trippin'...

8 September 2018: Jane and I visited Berkeley Plantation yesterday and then caught up with Mike for dinner. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

Couch shopping...

20 January 2018: [Catch-up post!] After a lot of searching, Mike--with help from Jane and I--found the perfect couch for his place. So grateful to have had the chance to help him out, spend some time with him, laugh a lot, and focus on the future with an eye (and lots of love) towards the past and memories of Shannon.
