It was after Thanksgiving in 2011 that I drove from Williamsburg to Sterling with Adri, Ricky, and Dominic. Adri played angry birds on the ipad, and I sat in the back, next to my sleeping baby nephew, uncertain of what the future may hold. We stopped at the Virginia welcome center rest stop half way, there, and we stood outside in the cold cold weather, Adri giving me a pep talk about how many opportunities await in nova. They are hiring everywhere, she said.
I always loved visiting Adri and Ricky, when we're together we play hard, until exhaustion, poker, movies, netflix, shopping, wine, beer, feasts, games. Visiting Sterling was like a vacation. It seemed logical to want to move to the area, facilitating more frequent hang out sessions.
Here I am, two years later, I have many memories to cherish, and much anticipation for the adventures that will await.
