Mrs. Conception

From tomorrow at 11AM until the evening of January 2, Mr. Andrews and I are free from the daily grind, weekday monotony, and an official place to live. In the great tradition of us, we are packing our stuff and our dogs and ourselves in the car and cruising a good portion of the Eastern United States. We will be visiting our tails off, and doing lots and lots of the work we actually like to do – the independent media kind.

When we found out we had this much time off for the winter holidays, we had originally planned a trip to the west coast, but since opportunities arose that we couldn’t pass up, we decided to make our rounds around here. On this trip, we are getting to spend some time with other married couples our age, which we never get to do . The Greens live in the Charlotte, NC area and were married in May, and the Barneses live on a farm in Indiana,  have been married for a long time, and have a daughter. We are going to North Carolina first and Indiana last. In between we are going to Columbia, SC, our college town, for the previously mentioned video shoot for Closer’s single, The Difference. And rounding it out, we will be pit stopping in Charleston, SC to visit the Andrews side of the family, then heading North (stop snowing up there!) to celebrate Christmas with my family in Massachusetts. Fun times.

I’ll be reporting from the road, hopefully taking lots of pictures and having exciting times that will fill the internet with joy and wonder. At the very least, it will be more interesting than anything that has happened to us while living in a hotel in Maryland. But if you like that kind of thing, don’t worry. We’ll be back here in the new year!
