Hello All!

This will probably be my last blog entry, as my time with Edward is coming to an end. He is very excited to be going South to Colleen!

Last weekend I took a bus home to spend some time in good old B.H. and attend my great great Aunt Jo's suprise 90th birthday celebration.


I'm not going to lie, I completely forgot to bring Edward despite the fact that I purposely packed him and made him comfortable in my room the night before. I know, I dropped the ball. I don't think he would have had much fun anyway...dessert required spoons and it might have been traumatic for him.

He did however enjoy his time at home. It was quite nice to get away from dorm life for a little bit.

Right: Edward reads the Sunday comics with my mother.

Today we had excellent weather here in Ithaca (70 degrees!) and so Caity, Kristen and I decided to bring our books outside and enjoy it while we still can. Edward joined us of course,and studied some biology with Caity. He also decided to do some sun bathing. Such an odd spoon he is!

Having Edward around has been a blast. Get ready Leens, he's coming your way!

Peace, Love, Purple Spoons.

Good Afternoon!


Last night was my friend Jie's birthday. Some of his other friends threw him a dance party at their house off campus. It was so much fun (mostly because I love dressing up to go out!). When we got back we ordered food from the Connection-the equivilent to late night diner runs back home- and had ourselves some delicious treats. Edward enjoyed his milkshake with cookiedough..yummm.


Its already starting to feel like Autumn here in Ithaca...gotta love jeans and sweatshirt weather!


This morning Caity, Abby, and I took Edward to the Ithaca Farmer's Market. We bought ourselves some delicious organic food and had a great time people watching and admiring the work of local craftsmen. I bought myself a really pretty necklace for only like 5 dollars...if Edward is lucky maybe I'll let him borrow it...but thats a big maybe :p

Hello Again!

Edward and I are having a fantastic time together! Yesterday we celebrated my 19th birthday. It was quite an affair! We danced our hearts out and ate lots of sugary treats.

He really enjoyed the cake!

I've been taking him around so he could see the campus...

Above right: While we walked around, we ran into my RA (resident assistant) from last year, Alyssa. ...they totally hit it off obviously!

Today a bunch of friends and I went hiking and then for a swim at one of the many gorges in the area. We hiked about 2 miles uphill (in flip flops!) and found this lovely little waterfall. The water was sooo cold..like 55 degrees. It was so fun to swim under the falls and sit on the rocks and just enjoy nature. My friend Crystal packed us pb&j sandwhiches that we enjoyed under the shade of the trees. After hiking back to the parking lot..we found out there was a swimming area right at the entrance that we had missed! It was hilarious. It was a beautiful day and we had a fantastic time.

Happp Labor Day Weekend from Edward and I!
