This past weekend I took a trip to Atlanta to meet up with some friends from school. In the two quick years of my program, I made a home for myself there so it was difficult having to leave after graduation. Going back felt so good. It also didn’t hurt that the weather was gorgeous throughout the entire trip. The first night a group of us had a mini reunion catching each other up on work and life. The next few days involved movies, homecoming, a lovely stroll through a park, and eating at some of our favorite restaurants. One of the highlights for me though was definitely the park. It always takes some people by surprise when they learn that I love nature and being outside. It has such a calming effect on me. The park was breathtaking. It’s the kind of setting you’d expect to see in a Hallmark movie. The pictures certainly don’t do it justice.  I was kind of bummed that I didn’t know about it when I was in school. It would have been a nice oasis when I was working on my thesis! Needless to say, having to leave on Sunday was bittersweet. I’m consoled by the fact that I’ll be back for more visits and shenanigans. I hope you all had a great weekend!
