However, the best part is spending time with wonderful people who are just as geeky as I am about world history. I have made some great friends there. Even though we only see each other once a year, when we get back together it feels like only a few weeks have passed.
Unfortunately, I had to press the "decline" button on my invitation. We will be in Michigan, preparing for Katrina's wedding and visiting the amazing people there. It was not a difficult choice to make, but a sad one nonetheless.
Hopefully, I will be invited again next year.
