Reunited with Beth after almost 8 years. I spent two summers with her in England years ago – once as students at Oxford, and then as interns at Parliament. She hasn’t changed a bit! #friends #london (at Jamie Oliver’s Union Jacks Covent Garden)

Home Sweet Virginia

It’s good to be home for a hot minute. These next few days will be mostly catching up on logistical matters and spending time with family before we leave on vacation. After that, I have a couple of weeks to catch up with friends, too!

I hope to stay busy, regardless. While it is good to be home, that in-between limbo state always wears me out faster than I’d like. In some ways, I never want to leave, and I want my time in the States to be long and fulfilling. In other ways, I am just ready to get a move on!
