I realized, this weekend, that I'm not ready to grow up at all. I guess it's one of those things that just forces itself onto you, and well, there you are, all grown up at some point.
Being at home has been amazing, and now I'm looking down the barrel at two more weeks, less than that really, with my parents, and it doesn't feel so great. It's been a blast having conversations with them, looking forward to my Mom getting back from work so I can share some video clip of the Daily Show and revel in good 'ol American cynicism. It's been amazing to worship with my parents, who have nurtured and developed their connection with God over their respective 60+ years of life.
The problem with the loneliness that sets in before one is about to leave family and friends is that it brings up all the other bittersweet feelings of past departures. So in honor of all the bittersweetness, a collection of pictures from moments I treasure. Here's to nostalgia!

I like the hotel/Dallas-scape one. Reminds me of one I took in Singapore in my hotel window, except the view outside of it showed not nearly as many pretty lights.
and MOMA!! You got to go to MOMA! I was so close to the one in SF a few years ago... but, alas, there was no time for that.
