Well, Typepad just charged my credit card for the next year of blogging, so I figured I should probably actually use it. I've been back home in Charleston since last Tuesday, but my sister was in town through Saturday and I took the weekend to regroup and recover from the post-whirlwind slump.
I left my camera at my parents' house like a big dummy, so the recap of the past few weeks will have to wait, but suffice it to say, all of my adventures were exactly as awesome and exactly as exhausting as I was expecting. I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends and family, and even more lucky that I have the time and means to visit them and see so much of the country in such a small amount of time.
Saturday I spent glued to the sofa, working my way slowly through the epic DVR queue I managed to accumulate by going on vacation at the peak of the Fall/Summer television overlap. Then yesterday, I put on my Sunday best and headed downtown to see the Charleston Ballet Theatre's production of Alice in Wonderland and found a new favorite restaurant. I've been searching for delicious gnocchi in the US since our honeymoon in Italy, and I FINALLY found it at Muse, an old Charleston single house that's been converted into a restaurant and wine bar My mouth is watering just thinking about it, and lucky for me, I have leftovers waiting for me in the refrigerator.
Looking forward, things are going to slow down for the next couple of weeks, but then, sometime during the first week of November COLBY IS COMING HOME!!! We'll have two whole weeks where he won't have to go to work or even think about the Air Force, then, just two short weeks after that, we'll be zipping off for our international adventure in the Mediterranean!
I've been slooooowly working my way through my Google Reader and can't wait to hear what kinds of excitement y'all have been up to over the past few weeks. Also, on the business end of things, if anyone would be interested in guest posting in December while I'm floating around in a giant boat that will hopefully feel exactly the same as a hotel on dry land, let me know.
Oh man I am already jealous of your November. Mind if I tag along? :)

Happy, happy for you that Colby's return is fast approaching. They do have internet service on those ships, you know. Might cost you a limb or two, but c'mon?

I miss you so much and am so happy that you 2 are sweet enough to include us in your December adventures (great son-in-law) - can hardly wait for that to begin. But patience is a virtue, right? Do I have that one? You surely have acquired that in these past years, sweetie!

I want to do it all again! Except that then you'd have to tack that time back onto your time you're waiting for Colby to return... so never mind...

Yay to Colby coming home soon! I love spending the day catching up on the DVR. Sometimes it can be overwhelming though.

Colby's return and then the Mediterranean! Woo-hoo!!!
Am I too old to guest post? :)
