M: Re-entry is a little weird. Suddenly, we're driving (or riding) on the right side of the road, walking a lot less, speaking English with people whose accents aren't hard to understand (but we are in MA, so they still exist [J: plus everyone understands us so we have to be on our best behavior - hee hee]).

There were lots of insane festivities - barbecue, beautification processes, wedding rehearsal and dinner (with delicious lobster - we LOVE lobster!!!), pictures, the wedding itself and the reception after. It was really a gorgeous wedding with the bride and groom saying their own heartfelt, extremely touching vows and clearly love abound. In any case, it was an amazing opportunity for togetherness. (J: For me these are the happy/sad parts of coming back to Massachusetts. It is so great seeing all these people who are so important to me, but sad because the together time is fleeting and it is a reminder of the fact that Seattle, in all its glory, is just so far away.) At the end of the weekend, Jessie and I parted ways to spend the first night in different places since the very beginning of January. So, for now, we separately gleckel on...
