1 | A visit to Rudy’s, one of my all-time favorite places to visit when I’m home in Texas. Think picnic tables by the highway, BBQ smoking in front of your eyes, and a menu so simple you can count its offerings on two hands. I always go at sunset because it’s so beautiful.
2 | Lunch with my amazing high school mentor Michele. It was so wonderful to catch up with her– it had been four years since our last meeting, and it was really crazy to think about how much I’ve learned about photography (and life in general) since back in 2008. And I always come away from my conversations with Michele feeling more inspired to learn than ever.
3 | Rick came to visit Texas again this week, and we took a short road trip to Dallas to visit friends and family. After a month apart and a few months of separation ahead of us (we’ll both be flying to different places for grad school auditions every weekend), it was great to have ten hours of driving to just talk and be with each other. (pic courtesy of Michele…she works wonders with even an iPhone!)
4 | Cocktails on the Riverwalk with two flute friends (one old and one new). It was very eye-opening to talk to two people who are already on the audition circuit and get a feeling for what this upcoming semester will be like.
Tomorrow morning, I’ll be up bright and early to fly back to Rochester and get settled before classes begin. I can’t say I’ll ever be ready for the chaos that will be this semester, but connecting with the family and friends that I love during this break has given me the strength I need to head out on my own again and make my own path.
