Mom took me around Ann Arbor yesterday and showed me the dorms where she and Dad lived while attending the University of Michigan and the first apartment I ever lived in. We drove around the campus a bit while Mom reminisced, and I felt really close to her. It was nice. Today we went to a Barnes & Noble in Livonia to meet my Mom's college roommate, who still lives in the area. After an afternoon tea in the cafe and a bit of socializing, Justin and I wandered off to browse, and I finally bought the first Harry Potter book. I'm hooked!!
