Spring Break

my dear brother and cousin left the land of america today. it was so nice to have them here during my spring break. i was so excited that i actually planned the trip months before... can you believe it? me planning?? i don't think i've ever planned something so in detail and upfront like this before. i'm usually a tao person that deals with issues by saying "just go with the flow." if i don't know how to get somewhere, go with the flow... walk around and i'm bound to find some place i'm familiar with. if i don't know what i want in the future, go with the flow... instead of stressing out, i wait for the time to come and whatever happens then is what it will be. it's not the best philosophy to live by but that's another whole issue.

anyways trip consisted of them coming to lehigh all the way from tokyo, heading to philadelphia where randy is (thanks for letting us crash your place) and finally heading to new york city. my poor cousin was so jet lagged, i don't even know how she made it through the entire trip but we all had a great time bonding together. i've always been the one to leave never the one to be left so it was an odd feeling watching them disappear off to the distance as they walked towards the boarding gate waving goodbye.

seriously, the weather couldn't have been any better. the day they left, it started to rain. they bring good luck perhaps.
