Yes, yes, I realize that it’s been 3 weeks since I posted. The rumors about my death were sadly true and this is just a puppet Julia posting to get sympathy and cookies. And lots and lots of attention. 🙂 Did it work?

I have tons to write about, for posterity’s sake, about my fabulous vacation. Two weeks was almost enough to make me feel human and carefree and young again, and therefore was too short. I managed to see most of my family and friends (missed the medical school gang, though. *pout*) and spend as much time with my grandparents as possible, because I realized that they are getting older and I’m really far away. All in all, it was a really busy 14 days, and even with the constant hammering on the new roof and the just above freezing weather in Phoenix, well worth the time away from the cold of the Midwest.

However, a picture is worth a thousand words (although I’m not so great at taking pictures of people. Scenery that stays still, yes, people, no, so I’ll let these go for 500), so in leiu of words, may I present:

(I just realized that I didn’t get pictures of my sister Laura or my new brother in law. Whoops. Sorry, Lars.)
