We returned from our trip to the Upper Peninsula with George and Emily two nights ago, and we all commented on the fact that we're all still friends. I said that things could have gone REALLY WELL (as they did) or REALLY REALLY BADLY. It's not always easy to be with Adam and me 24/7 several days in a row. Trust me, I know, I do it all the time.
We got to see tons of fun stuff which I'll describe in greater detail when I have more time (I'm a desk proletariate right now). I'll also upload pics as soon as I get them from Em. We couldn't find our camera before we left, so Emily was the official photographer for our trip.
Kika did really well and was the toast of Mackinac City, as many children, couples and old ladies stopped us to comment on how cute she is. This particularly occurred while Adam was holding her. When the old ladies would stop to coo at all the cuteness, Adam would look charmingly confused and respond "who's cute? me or the dog?" The ladies giggled and replied that both he and Kika were cute. So smooth, that man of mine.
Gregory House was on his own for the first time, but our next-door neighbor watched over him for us. He has had a skin irritation that has caused him to pull his fur out, so he is on the way to the kitty vet as of this afternoon. Yet another bill. But hopefully he will no longer be my scabby-bloody-mangy kitty anymore. I was starting to think I could get some money to have him star in a horror flick. Adam is still dubious about G.H.'s role in our lives, and so any talk of giving him a swift kick is received quite well by Ads. I run interference.
So life is back to normal now. Adam is busy with his Adam-stuff and I am back at work, although not in the field anymore, which is why I am camped out behind a desk able to type. Days go by more slowly but I'm not nearly as drained of energy as I was when I was walking miles through thick prairies and cornfields everday. Still hunting for a permanent position but happy about the job I have. I am a lucky gal.
Oh, and yes, I now must acknowledge Michael E., who specifically asked that I update my blog because it's the only way he and his lovely curly-haired beauty of a wife (yes, I have a slight infatuation) keep up with the goings-on of Adam and Lauren. So here ya go, buddy.

Funny how vacations with friends turn out to be tests of friendship. Though we have several couples we call friends, we certainly couldn't vacation with all of them. Luckily, we have one particular couple whom we travel with quite nicely. :)
