So, I bought a ticket to go to Hickory, NC, the first weekend of October, and Patrick bought his ticket to come down for Thanksgiving. But... that's a long way off, so Patrick and I are meeting up in Atlanta next weekend. Turns out that after 10 years of not seeing each other, we don't really like being apart very much. In fact, we are trying very hard to not despise it. So, Summer, you will get to meet him sooner rather than later. Yea hey!
