it was surreal seeing some of the swimmers -- almost like a "one year later" special on tv. i knew that kids can grow fast, but holy cow! i was met with girls screaming my name down the hallway, which made the whole trip worth it! talia & i got all caught up and made a pact to keep in contact once-a-week, and i met up with a handful of other coaches -- including one that i didn't even know was coaching! britt j. was a girl that we went to high school with, and was the key player the night that andrew & i began seeing eachother! so, i was a surprise for both of us :)
it was on-and-off snowing & was around 14 degrees all day. not bad! as i promised, here are some photos of the new house. i didn't remember until we got done with dinner, so i'll have a take-2 tomorrow during the day. news on the street is that there are going to be some different guys in the house doing work, so i'll need a reason to be the crazy person around the house taking pictures. ha!

| it was an absolutely peaceful, clear, beautiful nd night. |
evidence:
very last picture of the night is a glance at stu's thumb troubles. backstory: dad was gripping a 2x4 on a table saw in the newly-built living room of the new house, when the blade came down and snapped his thumb. at first, the doctor just said it was a deep cut and gave him antibiotics. 2 weeks later (after helping me put together our grill in ca mind you), he went in for a second opinion and they told him that he had a fracture and damaged tendons. surgery, pins, pin & stitches removal, and healing, he still has a swelling problem. it used to be swollen across the whole hand, but it's calmed down. here's a visual for you:
