Home Sweet Home
Jason and I spent Easter doing a little pond-hopping, and I got to take him to Oxford and walk him all the way to Canterbury Road for this picture. No, Greg did not yell at me, and neither did his scary child.
We had such a wonderful day in Oxford. I know many of you have shared how awkward it was to go back to Oxford with people who "weren't there," but I really had a special time with Jason. He was excited to see this place that has made such an impression on who I am. Plus, he was a little bit like my mom, insisting on taking pictures of me in front of the Bod, St. Aldate's, Keble, and, well, #10.
Walking through the streets of Oxford was like reliving a million conversations with you all. I smiled a lot.
I like you. I finally had a moment tonight to pull out the Oxford scrapbook and flip through it for the first time in a long time, and it was fun to read about the night we went to the Vienna Boys Choir and played Sardines, or had a Mexican feast, or basically IMed each other across the computer lab all night long. Good times. Mostly, I like that you know me, and even now when I have breakfast or lunch or late-night tea with you we can get right down to real conversation. So apparently what we had there does last. That is nice to know.
(And it was wonderful to have dinner with Nicole in London. Yay!)
So, I should be doing homework right now (for 29 minutes, actually). It turns out that while my procrastinative skills are (if possible) even more honed now (the result of too many mornings where my boss says, "You know, I'd like to speak on the floor about that in about two hours.", my ability to stay up much past 10:30 is sorely waning. I'm itching tonight for another reunion. I want to know who we have all become. Anyone?
In other, non-sappy news, things are going pretty well here. I think I finally have my mind wrapped around school, and I'm on the road to feeling comfortable in my job--it's hard to transition from a job and a boss you've had for five years to all new things. I do a lot of second guessing myself. And Jason and I have decided to put this phase of life behind us and buy a house--at once exciting and terrifying. I will miss being able to say "a condo is just right for us right now," but I will really enjoy being able to get something out of the closet without the whole thing tumbling down on me.
Okay, I've posted. Now it's your turn! Is anyone checking this anymore???
(um, btw, I'm annoyed if this blog says "Jason and Missy." I don't love the new blogger.)
