Oh, Opie,

Why is coming back from vacation so hard? Is it coming back to work? Is it unpacking? Is it half-assedly planning a reception for more people than actually were able to attend your wedding? While it looks like it's going to rain on your picnic?

Is it the fact that I should be looking for another job?

I don't know, but coming back has been a little difficult. I love my home and my life here, but I miss Woodstock and having all my friends around me.

I know things haven't been entirely smooth sailing for you either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you on the roommate situation. But this is how I think of you:

Kat,

Well, I'm back to the grind here in Washington, and wishing I were back in Woodstock, swimming in the stream.

I can't thank you enough for the wonderful time in New York. I had so much fun.

You looked so beautiful and serene, peaceful and happy and glowing on your wedding day, and I was so proud to be a part of it, proud to kiss you goodbye in that cabin and know what a huge thing you were doing. Jesse looked so happy, seeing you walk towards him, and all our friends were so full of love for the both of you.

New York city was glamorous and wonderful, and I'd love to go back. the more I travel, the more I want to travel.

Next up, NEW ZEALAND!

I met some wonderful Kiwis today, they bought coffee and talked with me and Jonathan for a while about the way coffee is expanding in their country. I can't wait till we start things in motion for that trip.

I adore you, O Kitten, and hope you find your transition into married life smooth and blissful.

Know that I am thinking of you and loving you both.

Love,
Opie
