Karen, Michael and I booked a trip to Athens in November. I think that is going to be the last trip I book. Wow, it really is getting to the end isn't it. This weekend I will have been here 11 months, only 3.5 to go. It iwll go so fast. I remember back when Mike Melville only had 3 months and I thought that it seemed so short and I would never get to that point.... well here I am and the past 11 months have been so short.
One of the biggest things I have noticed is my change on my perception of reality. Bear with me... this might sound really stupid. When I first got here, my reality was home in LA with Jamie and my family and my friends. I would think of home before I went to bed and throughout the day. Being here felt very temporary and like a strange sort of vacation. Not really real. Well in the past few months my reality has started to change. This is my reality here now and home seems far away and kind of dream like. When I went home in August it changed back really quickly and I didn't want to come back here to London because I liked keeping my reality in LA. Now that I am back here it only took about a week for home to seem kind of dreamlike. I don't know if it has to do with getting married and not knowing what that will be like so it's hard to imagine my future without it being kind of dreamy or if I have just been here long enough to get comfortable... Does this all make sense? Anyways, when people ask me if I am ready to go home, I say yes, not just because of the excitement of my future but to have a sense of normalcy again. All of this reality switching was not something I expected or realized would happen. It's a bit strange.
Michael sent me pictures that he took from our trip, some of them are different than mine so here they are Michael's Pics of Amalfi Coast. At the beginning are some pics from a dinner at Karen's and some office shots.
Here are a couple that I really like:
Anyways, I hope you all have a fantastic 3 day weekend!!! I am off to Venice!
