A Brief Recap

I'm back in Fredericksburg! And I'm super excited to be here.

In the past two weeks, quite a few things have taken place.

First, I went to Grandma's house, just in time to see all the beautiful azelas in bloom! 
(You can click on the pictures to make them bigger if you so desire)

More pictures of Grandmas! It was so beautiful, I took lots of flower pictures. My Grandfather left a wonderful legacy in his gardens. 

Then I got to spend a day at Pittsburgh with my favorite brother. We walked around, went in some stores, heard some horrible Steeler chants, ate loads of carbs at the Spaghetti Warehouse.... 
Then, the next day, Eric ran in the Pittsburgh Marathon! His time was sub 4 hours -- SO FAST! I'm so proud of him.  

I made this applesauce cake while I was home. I read this good book (only good, cause the plot was terrible, but the writing was fantastic, which is all I really care about in the end), and I worked on some stuff, including doing the weeding in the gardens and helping my mom build the wall to surround our vegetable gardens. I haven't gotten to plant anything except some basil and tomatoes my Uncle grew from seeds yet though, because we've been so busy with construction! 

Then I got packed... (yup, looks like I got everything I'll be needing in one suitcase there....)

I also made a strawberry and rhubarb pie to take with me for my new housemates! I made one for home too, which disappeared in under 2 days. This one kind of came out ugly looking, but everyone knows its not the looks that people eat pie for.

And I've moved in! My room is pretty tiny, but I'm used to that. I think it's the same size as my room at home in Vienna, so I feel right at home!
