peace out.

I am certain that I won't have time to blog tomorrow. I shouldn't be taking time to do it right now, but I'm at a good pausing point. Packing is going slowly, but it is going. I am going to leave some stuff here and pick it up when I come home for Julie's wedding. I know that most of all I will miss all of my friends here. It's been quite a time to be home and I wouldn't have made it without all of you. I am part of a group called the framily, we have dinner about once a month and hang out and they are some of my most favorite people in the world. We usually eat at one friends house and she has fiesta ware so for my going away present the framily got me my own fiesta ware. I'll have to make a Richmond framily :O) They also gave me a card that has the definition of framily, I thought I'd post it here because it's just so beautiful. Goodbye from State College, I'll post something Tuesday when I get to Richmond. It's going to be 85 there! Thank goodness for air conditioning!! love you all, hugs. r

framily- 1. group of friends who have developed such an intimacy that the term friend no longer is able to capture the intensity of their relationship 2. a relationship guided by unconditional love and embracement of broken humanness 3. a unit whose members care for and serve each other 4. a way of living that welcomes an overlapping and intertwining of lives 5. an interconnection that transforms its members because they challenge one another 6. a bond that is never broken, not over time or distance.
