A rainy Sunday in Carrboro. We haven't had a rainy Sunday in Carrboro for a long time. So long that it feels weird, we can't remember the last rainy Sunday. But rainy Sundays are important, they allow you to take a break, catch up on things that always get pushed to the side when things are busy. I hope we have more rainy Sundays.
Thursday was Thanksgiving and we went to Mount Airy to share the holiday with family... this year the table was set for 18 people, a real event. It was great to have Razi, Lauren, Zayn, Anne, Lu and myself all together... for the first time since June 2004... wow. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday... and it is the day itself not the excesses on either side... traffic and shopping. But a day to gather with family and friends and give thanks for all the blessings and bounty that we share.
And now its back to the grind.
After much trial and tribulation, Lu's Conditional Residency Interview is on Thursday in Charlotte. All the papers are filled, photocopies made...hopefully it will be a formality... but we don't expect it to be. Right now we are two steps from the green card and one step from more liberty.
Then on Friday, two of Luisa's friends from Cali are going to be in DC and we are planning on going up to visit with them. Susana and Luis Fernando are going to be there for only a couple of days and to be so close merits a visit.
Work continues to be as hectic and rewarding as ever. Demanding yet fulfilling.
And there is the wrap up. Full of thanks... ready with ambition.
