We had somewhat different experiences there. Mine was a bit more bittersweet with an emphasis on the bitter (a fundamental, life-altering experience nontheless!)... For whatever somewhat similar, somewhat different, strange and hippified reasons, Jo and I have a smattering of similar "domestic" habits. Although I am secular, I consider Jo part of my "community of faith" - but with a lower case F (a Venn diagram would be a useful tool to illustrate this)- always looking for support, thoughts, and creative ideas about why and how to pursue similar raisons d'etre more true to intent. If that makes sense. <br /><br />Moreover, HELLO RACHEL - poke Rachel, will you Jo? - my partner and I live in Denver. My midwife is in Boulder so I'm there occasionally - although I might not be before the next couple of weeks elapse but I'm always up for food and that Walnut something or other cafe. Nom! Before you head off to Albuquerque, we should meet up. It's like ten degrees to Kevin Bacon except that "Jo" doesn't rhyme with "separation".emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026557319568945115.post-25864894069068477492012-04-12T14:16:10.278-04:002012-04-12T14:16:10.278-04:00Thanks Rachel!

I'd love to hear about Albuquerque is like. Eug lived there for 2 years growing up when his dad was on sabbatical from Seoul, and it sounds like a beautiful and interesting place.Concrete Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368862362127742038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026557319568945115.post-71669600651697445662012-04-11T14:10:47.486-04:002012-04-11T14:10:47.486-04:00Jo was my RA my first year at Wellesley.

I am moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA) in a few weeks to start a research fellowship. <br /><br />The next few months I will have a lot of changes both personally and professional. For the first time in 25 years, I will no longer be a student. After living with my partner for the past five years, I will once again will living on my own. <br /><br />I am really excited to figure out what I want my life to be like. I enjoy the Concrete Gardener -- it pushes me to think and question whether I am making decisions because it is expected of me or because it is right for me. While I still use shampoo, I'm more careful about reading the labels. :-)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218422133177228105noreply@blogger.com
