Veronica’s Visit...

The girls’ holiday schedules were not in alignment at all during spring break. Ashlynn was still in school when Veronica came home and when she was finally off school, Veronica had already returned to Norwich to go on a field course during her final week of break. Between getting ready to move and studying for exams, there wasn’t much time for fun, but we did enjoy going as a family to see the new Beauty & the Beast movie, which we all loved.

At least the girls had a weekend to themselves while Jimmy and I were at Belgian Nash Hash.

Veronica was especially excited about introducing us to her boyfriend Billy, who came to stay with us for three nights. Here they are making sushi for all of us...

 ...and here is Veronica introducing Billy to dumpster diving. Despite their efforts, these bed slats didn’t fit on the used bed frame that Ashlynn had bought. Billy also came in very handy in helping us bring boxes up to the attic in the new house.

Veronica enjoyed showing him around Amsterdam for a day. Ironically, as I’m writing this in late July, Veronica is spending the weekend for the first time at Billy’s house with his parents in Canterbury, England. He just graduated from UEA and is looking for a real job. Unlike her previous boyfriend that broke up with her when he graduated, she and Billy are adjusting to a long-distance relationship.
