Ahoy hoy, good readers! I’ve missed you in my absence — despite the lovely feeling of being completely non-Internet-connected for a full week, I did occasionally wonder “What’s going on in the lives of my blogging buddies” … and then I went back to tending the campfire or mentally arranging furniture in our (we hope) new house or opening birthday gifts or eating shrimp kebabs or sleeping in. Heehee. I’m sure you understand. The short version of the past week: we drove; we camped; we ate copious amounts of hot dogs; we found the perfect house; Ben probably got a job but is waiting on the formal offer; we fell in love with Richmond; I got older; I ate lots of sorbet, frozen custard, and Italian ice; I am continuing to celebrate my unemployment with hours spent in the pool reading. Here’s a picture, then after the jump, an in-depth account (and more photos) of our trip to Richmond, my birthday and whatever else I’ve been doing other than being a good blogger.
