A Return (of Sorts)

Today I leave the little island that has been my home for the past two weeks. It's been quite a relaxing stay in Tobago, being with my family and John for such an extended amount of time. It's rare that all of us are in the same place at once, considering that one of us is across the country, two of us are in (or about to start) school, grad and university, and my parents are in Connecticut, tending to their lives.

It's time to come back to the real world. I'm excited about it, especially because it starts this weekend with a wedding!

Happiness

Relaxation

Drinking a Shandy and peeling a ripe mango with my teeth.

'BAGO

I decided to leave everything behind and come with my family to the island of Tobago, where my grandmother lives. It's a much needed vacation, and I haven't been with my family altogether since December.

I'm signing off (again) until I return on Aug 22 (with lots of pictures).

Talk about a wedding! This is what I want mine to be like, kay?

Summer Vacation

There is nothing better than taking a self-imposed break during the summer months.  Despite the fact that I have seen more rain in the past 2 months than I have ever seen before, I haven't been deterred from having the time of my life (right now I'm sitting at my family's house in Connecticut in my mother's little writing shed, watching a very swollen river rush past.). 

I'm ready (somewhat) to come back to the world of blogging.  I have spent the past few weeks doing whatever my little heart desired.  I finally quit my job working as a paralegal, and I have a month-long break before I start law school.  I went to California to visit my friends and my brother, sat outside in the sun and read several books.  I came back to Boston and sat in my incredibly hot apartment with a fan trained on me and (several) glasses of white wine.  Right now I'm at my family's house, which is deep in the woods, and such a peaceful place to be.  In two weeks, I'm going to Tobago to visit my grandmother for two weeks.

I'm not so sure I'll be back very soon, but I guess you'll just have to check back and see!  

Tell me what you've been doing these past few months.  I would love to hear about it.
