This beautiful exchange

I have just updated the gallery to include information about each picture from the trip. I thought that might help explain what each photo is and where it was taken.

As I mentioned before, our day in Paris was wonderful. After a cloudy morning, the sun came out and we enjoyed a very warm, spring day. We saw almost everything that we wanted to see. We indulged in a couple local cafes. And, we were adventurous enough to step off the tourist path and explore [...]

What a great trip! First and foremost, it was great to see Derek and spend time with him. We got the chance to meet several great people that he works with and get a better idea of what it is that he’s really doing there.

We have made it back to Virginia, all safe and sound. We’ve picked up Grammy, so the Evans Family of Virginia has been once again reunited.

After a VERY long and wearisome flight to Europe, we arrived in Barcelona yesterday morning. We were greeted by hugs and hand shakes all around. We spent our first day eating, walking around town, and trying to stay awake so that we could beat this jet-lag thing.

Technically, this post is so that Alicia can see my news shoes. OH YEAH, I bought another [...]

I know that this went through the e-mail system a while ago, but I’m short on blogging material today so I thought I’d use it as today’s post. Please feel free to give some of YOUR answers in the comment section!
Four jobs I’ve had in my life:

Well, one of my favorite things about Tony today is the fact that he’s flying home! Woo Hoo!
I love the fact that Tony has a very peaceful and strong sense about him. When I feel like I’m swirling in circles with crazy emotions or thoughts, he is a very grounded influence in my life. I [...]

So, I took Graham for a run the other day around the park near our house. As we’re making the turn around the back side of the park, I notice that he is gradually working his way to the right, off of the pavement, while looking towards [...]
