This year, Thad and I received a wonderful present from his mom, Maxine, and David: a seven-day cruise to the Caribbean! It was a bit of a whirlwind at first, since we flew into the States on December 14th, drove to Charleston on the 15th, and the cruise left [...]

Trip Home

I arrived back in the UK early yesterday and was completely exhausted, but the trip home was worth it!  I had a great time, was able to relax a bit with friends and family, and also got a little bit of sun.  When I arrived, Sarah picked me up at the airport, and then we [...]

Paris, continued

Since we only had four days to explore Paris and wanted to see as much as possible, Thad and I both bought two day museum and monuments passes for 30 euro. Basically, if you're planning on going to 3-4 museums per day, you definitely get your money's worth. We also bought two day passes for [...]

There are tons of photos up online for now (I mean it when I say tons!), and I will [...]

It’s been a while!

It's been a while since I've felt this purly physically tired, or since I've had a bruise on my body that felt like it was slowly swelling to the size of a small country.  This morning was worth it though – it was my first time playing touch rugby.  Margaret used to play in Ireland, [...]

Day Trip to London

Today I went to London for the day, and it was a great trip! I met up with Namita, and as usual we spent most of the afternoon/evening sitting in cafes catching up on each other's lives over the past 4 months or so (since the last time we met up in London). This time, [...]

Easter in Oxford

After three weeks of intensive reading and paper-writing, I headed to Oxford to celebrate Easter and spend some time with Thad.  It was a really nice weekend, and the weather cooperated for the most part.  I had to do a little editing while I was there, but luckily I got enough done beforehand so that [...]

Happy Birthday Tyler!

My cousin Elizabeth had her baby today! Little Tyler is 7
pounds, 3 oz. and 21 inches long. And, according to my aunt, has
red hair and looks just like his dad. So, I now have a first
cousin once removed. I thought that Tyler would be my second
cousin, but after doing some research [...]
