june was a quiet month on the blog, but it was a fantastic month in life. my friends in bangalore threw me a fabulous farewell pub crawl, and my friends in memphis welcomed me home with trivia and a chocolate chip cookie cake. it’s been great to catch up with everyone and to settle back into life in the states, and i wrapped up the month with a fantastic trip to new york and the berkshires.
