First Days of Freedom

My apologies for already falling behind on my promise to update this blog regularly! My only excuse (and a valid one, I believe) is that my parents' house, where I am residing, does not have internet at the moment (yes, there are places in the U.S. without it!). But rest assured, I am going shopping for laptops and international wireless cards this afternoon. My hope is to have a laptop and internet access while I am traveling, but that will depend on a number of things not excluding cost, wireless capabilities in Europe, etc.

My First Days of Freedom
After a slight delay due to tropical storm Ernesto, I arrived in Oklahoma on Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with my parents, my sister Katie and her fiance Justin. We spent most of the weekend doing wedding preparation for their June 2007 wedding - we met with the caterer, florist, photographer, cake decorator (my favorite!), and spent 7 hours wedding dress shopping. It was pure joy to spend the weekend with my family, and seeing my baby sister in a wedding gown was unforgettable! We also had time to visit with extended family, including seeing my cousin's 3-month old baby girl. It was quite a busy weekend!

Now, I am just running errands to prepare for my trip and trying to relax a little (one thing I am not good at!). It is great to be at home and just "be" with my family. So far I am really enjoying my first days of freedom!
