It's moving pretty slowly. Today was supposed to be devoted to putting all my stuff in boxes to head over to school, but it has been more dominated with singing/ performing/ dancing to the jazz music playing over the house speakers, having a 2 hour lunch break, thrift store shopping, lying on the couch with my mom, looking at Kate's pictures of us in Italy, Etsy, and eating lots of yummy food. We had a feast tonight. Around late afternoon the couch was calling me and my mom's name, so we had a good few Food Network sessions. I popped some popcorn over the stove with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt, making it the best popcorn ever. We brought out the fresh strawberries, and the goat cheese we bought on Thursday at the farmer's market. We toasted tonight to some Drappier as my last night being home, and my dad had some creme de mures for me to add, just the way I'm used to at the Swiss family's house in France :). We even opened up some chocolate from a chocolatier they visited in San Fran.
Some of my favorites of Kate's photos:

Anna's friends pool that we went to in Italy... in the middle of vineyards.

The new brand of chocolate I tried tonight:
So.. I never really got around to packing. But I guess that's what tonight is for.
But it was a good last day at home.
Last night I went and visited my friends Davis Ann and Brad :). We went to a really fun show together in downtown Birmingham, with Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken. We sat on floor pillows and they sang folky hymn-y songs and talked about how they met. I love cute marriage love stories :).
Being with Davis Ann was as encouraging as ever. It was a good way to spend part of my last weekend in Bama.
So.. off to college tomorrow? Still have so much to do. Not too concerned about it though.
