Travel - & lots of it

There's a fair bit goin' on in the McCullough-verse - plans being laid for John's graduation and beyond and people coming and going.

My mom and step dad came down yesterday for a visit. We went out last night and took quite the tour of New Haven - they met some Higher One peeps, my mom tried Thai food for the first time (she liked it), and then met up with some Drama School kids at Beers. We had breakfast this morning at Copper Kitchen, one of my favorites, and then they headed back to smAlbany for a basketball game. We've got a crazy bit coming up in March:

  • in 11 days John leaves for Yosemite to go camping and rock climbing with our friend Maura. He just got his cold weather gear in yesterday, and while I was bummed for a minute that I can't go due to a conflict at work I'm ultimately glad I'm not going to be camping in the bitter cold for a week (ssshhh, dont tell)
  • John'll be back early on Monday the 16th - and leaves again on the 17th! We'll probably see e/o about 4 hours in between trips and he's going to be EXHAUSTED
  • On 3/18 John heads for USITT in Cincinnati. He'll be riding with our friends Nora and Amanda, and receiving the Golden Hammer award on 3/19. Unfortunately, I wont be going to this due to another work conflict.
  • John will return for good on the 21st or 22nd...and then it's my turn.
  • On 3/28 I'll be headed to LA for my first solo trip since we've been together. I'm off to stay with my friend Nikki, and visit Vegas for the first time. While in Vegas I'll see Willis and Amy and I can't wait :D After a week of fun and sun I'l be back on 4/4.
We're both excited and prepping - we only just made formal plans this week and John leaves in a week and a half. Ya - we'll see each other in April!

I wanted to share what I spent my spare Sunday doing this week. My friend Danielle has been working glass since she was in high school - she didn't have any plans yesterday and was working on a project. She thought I'd enjoy it and so insisted I give it a try. It was awesome, and I'll likely do it again :D
