Richmond II

Lately, I just can't keep up!  There is so much to do and so little I actually want to do.

The balance is fragile to say the least.

My dear friends in the following photos have been hounding me for over a week to edit and post them so without further adieu, here are some photos from my lovely weekend in Richmond with two of my favorite people in the world.  I miss these ladies so much, I didn't appreciate those days in Sevilla enough!

Welcome to the Three Chopt Residence!

 
The requisite trinity photo.  Not Hannah's senior portrait pose.

 
We tried to tell Hannah that there was a new trinity and that she wasn't part of it.
She refused to listen!

I missed App's first home game to watch Richmond beat Wagner (big deal, huh)!
Who is Wagner anyway????

So precious, Hannah and Ryan!

It was so awesome to be able to spend time with these long distance friends!!! I cannot wait until it happens again.  Now, if you will pardon me I am off to enjoy the Fall weather which has descended rather suddenly on Boone.  I have missed early mornings, crisp air, and being outside.  This hiking trip happened in the nick of time and I just can't wait!

I spent this past weekend in Richmond with the most excellent friends.
I don't even remember the last time I laughed that much! Now I'm feeling so sad that I don't see these people everyday like I did in Spain. Seriously, we had a routine...bus rides, coffee shop, homework, nightly skype dates!
...too much? Maybe, but sooo perfect!

I met up with my lovely friend Becky, in Boone, and from there we headed North to Richmond.
And what a drive it was!
I was once a champion road tripper, 10 hours was nothing to me! Let's just say I've gotten soft, this 5 hour drive took forever.

It was certainly worth the trek though! We all reunited for a weekend of debauchery, otherwise known as Pig Roast (an annual event at the University of Richmond). It involves a lot of sundresses, bow ties, barbecue, and partying! Nice, huh?
(I just wish I had taken some picture of campus, it is terribly beautiful!)

It was so great to reunite with old friends and to meet some new ones! I can't wait for the next Sevilla reunion!

I am however, glad to be home. 14 hours of driving in a weekend is exhausting especially when paired with sleep deprivation and severe allergies. No worries, I'm getting back into the routine. I am so excited to have completed 1 grad school application and to have sold my computer!

Yay, Yay, Yay
