About a week ago.
Four glorious days with my dear, dear, friend Megan.
Trust me: You wish you had been here.
Here’s a peek into just a sliver of all that was done,
A sliver of what you wish you had been doing…
1. Watching the photographer at work.
2. Making & drinking a fabulous pitcher or two of sangria. [recipe coming soon!]
3. Going through my memory box and listening to 1 million stories from my life.
4. Wearing a sparkly tiara.
5. Having your nothing-special, normal-every-day-activities documented through Megan’s lens.
6. Having your friends’ nothing-special, normal-every-day-activities documented through Megan’s lens, too.
7. Winning 24 games of Guess Who Extra!
8. Helping to assemble a puzzle of the Boston Skyline.
9. Enjoying a storm. A lot more than this tree in my backyard did.
10. Eating at a “fine local establishment.” And giving toasts, to boot.
11. Enjoying several vices. Including some pasta devouring!
12. Doing a shot in celebration of our dear friend Kajsa’s competition of her dissertation. [WOOHOO PhD!!!! You go, Kajsa! You go!] And asking the bartender to take a photo. Blurry, much?
13. Feeling at home.
14. Taking a Mustang to the train station with all Meg’s luggage. Laughing uncontrollably while this is taking place.
15. Wearing purple.
16. Waiting for the train to come take her away. Knowing your life has been altered after one more weekend together.
Jealous, much?
I love this Heather!
You will go so far in life.
Oh the places you will go!

Some responses:
1. At first, I was confused about the puzzle being connected to me, but then i remembered I helped put in AT LEAST 5 whole pieces and helped find the missing 2.
2. I did not realize you had captured this many photos of me.
3. You are amazing at Guess Who. But it should be noted that while you beat me 24 times, I won 10.
4. I had forgotten about the Mustang. I did not realize it had been documented. Wow.
5. Our purple picture is hot.
6. Love you. Had such a great time!! Can’t wait to come back!!
I love this, and you, and Megan, by extension.
So fun!
Looks like a fun four days!
