Jens is gone for three weeks. I'm leaving for Thanksgiving in Portugal with the fam three days before he gets back. I won't see him until exactly four weeks from today. I miss him already. He had friends over to visit this weekend, though, and I really had fun with them. In the time he's gone, I'm going to learn some German and probably call a ( Read more... )
