What is it that binds us to this place as to no other? It is not the well or the bell or the stone walls. Or the crisp October nights or the memory of dogwoods blooming... No, our love for this place is based on the fact that it is, as it was meant to be, the University of the people.” -Charles Kuralt, 1993 UNC bicentennial
Well John and I are about to find out because we're headed back to Chapel Hill on Saturday for the first time since we moved in August.
We're headed back for a little of this...

And a little of this...
The eggnog is representative of our friends' holiday party- ha!
And a lot of this...
I'm probably going to eat at Med Deli five times even though we'll only be in town for three meals.
I'm so excited to be going back to Chapel Hill! It's so hard to image that it's been almost five years since I moved to town sight unseen on a strangely warm January day. Through some combination of coincidence, providence, and good fortune, my six month, 20 hour a week job turned into an incredible experience where I found my professional passion, the love of my life, new friends, old friends, and a lot of maturity. A lot of life, both joyful and sorrowful, happened in those five years.
Thankfully, I will get to experience this homecoming with the best thing I found in Chapel Hill.
