My husband is an eminently busy person right now. He’s working on getting into a Ph.D. program in Physics, while taking two classes at UMD and working full-time. It’s a lot on his plate and I’m grateful that he’s striving for a balance. He worked both days this weekend, but on Sunday took a break to have lunch with me. We walked through the woods on the way to the restaurant and I caught the very end of fall’s color show. Things are rather brown everywhere, but there are still nice contrasts to be found – like yellow and blue.
A couple extra photos from Galveston I found while processing some other stuff. Here you’ve got three tiny succulents decorating the Four Points Sheraton we stayed at. Below, sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico. Look closely at the horizon line and you’ll see a big tanker and an oil platform.
After we got George’s GRE scores on Saturday, we basically spent the rest of the day in low-key celebration mode. I drank maybe a whole bottle of champagne but didn’t really feel drunk all day – I just kept sipping. We hung around with Colin and Sai, went to go see the pretty seriously bad Due Date and had a lazy celebration day. It was fun. We need more low-key friend days. Photos here are an ice cream truck (?) in the movie theatre parking lot and a beautiful arrangement Sara has in her bathroom. Who has something this pretty in their bathroom?
