We’re going on vacation!
Sunday, August 21st, 2005I can’t wait! After a grueling summer, we’re going here to veg (and refresh) from 8/28-9/4. Originally we had booked a timeshare in New Hampshire begining 8/27 so we could attend a wedding in Vermont. The wedding was canceled, so we changed the destination when someone offered (on Thursday!) to buy us plane tickets and [...]

Thursday, a dear friend had a miscarriage, and on Friday, Caleb was killed in a tragic car accident [8/3-5]. I left Baltimore Monday evening around 5 to return to New York. Exhausted, I pulled into a [...]
