reis and i had such a fun time with laura and peter during their visit last week.  laura and i also spent some quality girl time together getting fried at the beach (i’m still waiting for my rudolph of a nose to turn into a tan).  i love playing tourist when visitors are in town and going places i wouldn’t normally go if they weren’t here.  but i equally love nights in where we cook dinner and it feels like our visitors live here.  one night she dyed my hair while we watched the season finale of the bachelor and ate ice cream.  it felt like we were right back in college when we were housemates and that kind of thing was the norm.  miss those days!  i’m so excited they will only be a drive away in a few months!
