Something that’s kind of a bummer about Kendrick going to a relatively far-away business school: it limits how much we can get involved in the community there as a couple. I’ve heard from friends whose husbands or wives have attended business school that it’s a really great community – all the partners hang out together, there’s a fun social scene, et cetera et cetera – but logistically it’s just not really possible for me to hire a babysitter and truck up to Yale for nighttime events all that often.
But for a Spring Formal? Babysitter. Mostly because I haven’t been to a school dance in about a decade, and I need some Kesha in my life.
So fun. (I ended up feeling a little waddle-y and shy about the dancing part and ended up mostly talking to Kendrick’ friends while eating lots and lots of olives, but I’ll make up for it at next year’s formal.)
And this was how we spent the rest of the weekend: with trips to the gardening store and lessons about how, exactly, to use a spade.
Look at my pretty succulents! I love them.
I also really like these border flowers – I decided to go for something a little different this year, and I think these low pink-and-green plants are so pretty and unique.
One last thing we did: eat a lot of ice cream and get pretty excited about it. Which makes sense; ice cream is exciting stuff.
