And Today is the Celebration of Chitunga's 28th, Although We Celebrated Last Night and Today He's Spending It in Manhattan with Alyssa

We had another night of food, but this time it was Paradise Pizza, salad, wings, and booze with friends (a game night to welcome Alyssa to the CT squad. Funny thing is, Karal was not her usual crazy self when everyone arrive; instead, she was chill and enjoyed the company like everyone else. 

Super happy to have Vochan come, too - a friend from high school who was Chitunga's right hand everything. Like him, he's done extremely well for himself, and I love when the two have an opportunity to get together. 

Today, Lys and Tunga are off to Manhattan for a walk in Central Park, a trip to Rockefeller Square to see the tree from Vestal, and a romantic night on the town. After a week and, especially, two days of celebrating in my home, I look forward to the quiet. It's been a mad house with so much food. 

These two, Vochan and Chitunga, played football together at Harding High School and made a pact to push each other to be their best. It's always great to see the two of them when the get together. 

I suppose I'll spend my day grading and trying to catch up for all the work that lies ahead. We only have two more weeks left in the semester, and then it is time for CNY craziness. 

Ah, and all my Christmas lights and decorations are up. Chitunga, Lys, and I had a wonderful day putting all the traditions up around the house. Bring on the seasons.

It's been such a joy to have Mt. Pleasant alive again this week.
