just Easter bunnies this week

Hello all! My dear husband is writing one of his many papers due in law school, so I'm taking blog duties this week. I can't promise much, since I'm rather tired myself! As well as having rehearsal tonight, I went for a run in the forest, and I think after such a lazy weekend my body is confused! Chad and I had a wonderful long weekend together in London, but honestly didn't do too much! We've decided we need to go back to London just as tourists, so we can see all the sites that we still haven't seen. I think that because we are living apart, we tend to take joy in the little things, like drinking coffee together in the morning, and going grocery shopping. Too busy enjoying the mundane to go out and see great works of art! We did get together with some of Chad's classmates, and that was nice, although they inadvertently made me feel old, since it's a running gag to mock Chad's age, and well, I'm just not that much younger than him! I'm looking forward to his birthday in a couple weeks, just so we can have three years between us again!

We had some sad news this weekend, and I was glad I could be with Chad when we received it. His 92 year old Grandma passed away on Friday, after being put in hospice care on Thursday. She was a big part of Chad's youth, and was always very sweet to me. We will remember her with much love. We're really sorry that we can't be with the Graham family during this time, but they're being very understanding about our necessary distance, and will wait to have the celebration of life until the end of the summer, when we can all be together.

Other than that, there's not much to tell. After this blog entry, we only have one more entry in which we're apart from each other. We are both eagerly awaiting Chad's triumphant return to Frankfurt! I mean, I'm just assuming it'll be triumphant... That's why I'm writing this blog, so Chad has a better chance of passing his classes! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!

I snapped this picture on my run today. The ground cover is made up of Bärlauch, or wild garlic,which makes the air smell like chives! I hadn't ever heard of this plant until moving to Germany, where it's quite prevalent in grocery stores! I've always been tempted to pick some of it, but  I heard it can be easily confused with other plants that are quite poisonous, so I'll leave the gathering to the professionals for now!
