So it wasn't the ending we hoped for, a game-winning shot at the buzzer for Florida State that ended Duke's 45-game home winning streak, but, other than that, we had a fabulous time visiting our old stomping grounds and recharging our batteries, individually and as a couple. The atmosphere for the game was electric, making us feel like undergrads all over again. And we ate like royalty. We lunched at the all-time student favorite restaurant, Satisfaction, followed the game with a delightful dinner at a Parisian-style cafe, and wrapped the weekend up with the jazz brunch at the Washington Duke Inn. Don't worry, we did get some exercise in, as well. We were so successful in getting away from our Falls Church routine that I (AJ) forgot to take my morning pills both Saturday and Sunday - yikes!
Back into the routine now, mainly helping Nate and Darcy prep for their mid-terms before I kick off round 3 of therapy tomorrow and Christine dives into a super busy work week - good to be home and all together. Thanks to all for helping out with our kids enabling us to leave them behind these past couple days. We marvel at what a great community surrounds us!
P.S. AJ & I (CJ) debated on the drive home whether we "marvel" at this great community or whether we are "in awe" of it! But as I (CJ) post this, a surprise dinner is in the oven, dropped of unexpectedly by a neighbor just a few minutes ago. Leftovers were not looking so great and I hadn't asked the kids to defrost anything, so now I think "in awe" is better. AJ & I have long believed that we have a God who provides for us; now we are seeing this crystal clearly! Crazy!
