Had a nice Saturday today! It was fun to think I’d be spending the night near the beach! Most of the day I spent in Cary getting things ready to go, doing breakfast with Mike’s parents and Mike, baking, and cleaning. I was doing fine until all was ready to go, and then came the tears. I hate goodbyes, but it will be 10 short weeks! I’m also really blessed to spend the summer with my friend Elizabeth – another Duke Divinity Student. She was my friend before, so its great to share this with her.
It was a nice and easy drive, straight out 40. Right when I got off the road there was a Harris Teeter – knew I was home! The house I’m staying in is VERY nice and in a good neighborhood. It’s a one-level country home with an adorable couple – the Blakes. I love the front porch – red rocking chairs overlooking a nice front yard. They have a huge vegetable garden in the back. Our dinner was baked chicken and lots of fresh veggies. And a nice Pinot Noir!
We spent some time visiting this evening as well. Sounds like it will be a relaxed summer and I’ll do well to let myself take a break and rejuvenate for the fall ahead. Not too shabby to spend a summer with a friend in a nice house, my own room watching a favorite summer movie – Swiss Family Robinson! Church tomorrow… more then!
PS Pic of the day is my stab at Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip cookies!! =)
