love.

Love the pictures, lady. I can imagine the tears that were a-flowin' after Nate left. I hope that you are comforted somehow. You're almost done, though! Soon you'll be back! It's gone so quickly! I am happy you aren't staying there forever. I miss you! Ooohhh, we need to go to coffee soon. And yes, the Haymarket is an enchanting place to be on a fall morning. Just this morning I went to Crescent Moon to get some of my fave hot chocolate. Like you said, everyone should be able to invest in the drink of their choice--and enjoy it on a regular basis. I concure whole-heartidly!

Best go. I need to clean up the house. Or not. haha.

Double D.

understand that it's all understood

Hi Dame. Here are a few pics for you....

here's a collage of our photos from the weekend.....
guess who.... :)
Here we are by lake michigan....we coaxed a seagull into taking this for us...
It was such a great weekend, Leslie. I cried and cried after he left. I can't even tell you how badly I wanted to get on that plane with him. I miss home terribly. I want to be there for the pre-Christmas season. I want to sit in Scooters downtown and watch the fall rain turn the roads icy and black- i want to see the streetlamps lighting up areas of the haymarket with their orangy glow....

Sittin' on top of the cosmetic counter?

Hey girl,

Sounds like the weekend with Nate was going quite well. Man,oh, man it has been a long time since we've talked. I've been a busy beaver. Are you serious that there are only 3 more weeks of school for you?? That's crazy. My practicum is giving me anxiety. I have fall break this week, so that's good, but yes. Anxiety. Not excited about it, really.

It is cool and blustery here. Yesterday I went out to Pawnee Lake and went hiking around. I hope I can do that again sometime soon. It was really pretty and nice. This weekend the parents are coming to town to go to Hairspray!!! Hurrah! I'm excited. Should be a good show and a good time with the parentals.

Tell me more. When are you actually coming home? Yessssss.

I feel like I'm there right now. Nate's here this weekend and I'm happy as a clam. (is that what they say?) Life is just....better. There's no question, Dame. It's better with him.

We're into my favorite part of year- and there will be pumpkin carving this afternoon, which will be quite fun, I'm sure. How are you? What's happening in your life? I feel like I haven't talked to you forever. School is good- I only have 3 weeks left at the school I'm in....actually 2 1/2 because we don't have school next Thursday and Friday. So....I'm moving right along. Before you know it, I'll be packed and cruising south and west.....ready for my hug from you.

I think I broke my pinkie in August. I crushed it in a really heavy door at the surgery center in N-town....and it hasn't bent the same since. .....just thought you should know.

Miss you lots, love. Take care.

Uhhhhhh.

Woof. What a weekend. I have been working up a storm. I am tired and I feel sick and I have a headache. I just want to catch up with things, you know??! I miss you a ton! How was the baby shower? It sucks that I couldn't see you and Mart, but I saw her the weekend before. She and Amber were are Russ' getting stuff for dinner and they invited me but Laura was here for her B-day so I couldn't hang with them! Sad. If you were here you could come to my "What's Great About Me" event at Estee Lauder. You could get some free samples as well as a free makeover. Hurrah!

I miss you and I'm sorry I haven't posted in forevaaaaaaa. I love you,
Dav.Dame.

i just can't hide it

It's got to be said, Dame. I miss you.

muh-wau-kee

Here I am....next to Lake Michigan....on a windy fall day. LOVING this season. You can come visit any time you'd like.....you know that, don't you? I hope so, and I'd love to show you around and give you a taste of what my life is like here. Maybe you and Meg could come up for a weekend....we could hit the shoreline, go downtown, find some fabulous coffee shops......

I have a secret thought. What if Meg could write here too? Or maybe it's just for us, in which case, .....awesome. Either way...just a thought. :)

Thanks so much for the card. Love it. I'll be sure to give you some big ups next time I think of it. :) more to come my dear friend. I love you.
