Jenny has once again returned home!

Yes, so my trip through JFK Sunday and Monday was QUITE eventful, and I will have to reveal more...

But first I want to welcome home my friend Jenny!!

I know you are aware of our journeys and how much fun we have together! But did you know we have been friends since the 4th grade? Her parents moved here from CALIFORNIA! Wow, back in the 70's, that is. That sounds like a long time ago.

Anyway, we remained friends through high school, played in the bands together and even a few drama performances. She went to NY (Colgate, to be exact) for college and I thought I might never see her again, but she was really great about staying in touch (via letters back in the 80's and 90's!) She then moved on to grad school and then to get her PhD...all the while coming home for visits and sometimes introducing me to the special people in her life! She moved back here after finally graduating, and temporarily settled in a job at OSU researching opthamology/lasik surgery. I say temporarily, though it has been a few years. So, when she received the Fullbright scholarship (I am so proud of her!) and moved to Wales, you better believe we stayed in touch! Though it seemed a pipe dream at the time...eventually I was able to go and visit and we had the time of our lives on that infamous European trip you have read so much about!

Though she has been home for a year, she just went back to Wales and London for a visit. She was gone all of September, so I am just extending her a warm welcome home! I know Justyn is reading this, so I am glad you were able to visit and I believe she brought you peanut butter and Miracle Whip, but I am even more glad she is back home!!
Don't tell her I wrote this...she will kill me!
