I'm home for the holiday weekend, and it feels great :) I made it in around 10:30 last night, and was sleeping within an hour. The drive is exhausting enough, especially when I make it alone, and to do at the end of a full day of work makes it even more tiring.
Dad's family was here celebrating with us today, and it was wonderful to see everyone again. I feel like it's been quite a while ... and if I stop and think about it, it's been even longer than I realized. It was a lot of fun to hang out with most of my little cousins and enjoy good food, lots of laughter, and good company. Tomorrow night, I get some more family time babysitting my favorite little cousins. I've been looking forward to hanging with them since Drea asked me to babysit a few weeks ago, so I'm definitely excited to spend time with them.
Mom and I are planning on going Black Friday shopping tomorrow; I'm hoping to find some of the big ticket items that I need for my apartment, like a vacuum cleaner and a microwave. We'll see how motivated we get... I might come home with a lot more than that!
While it's fantastic being home, and difficult to live so far away, I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to returning to my own home on Saturday evening. I'm playing taxi driver on Sunday, driving to the Madison airport and back mid-evening and the Milwaukee airport and back a few hours after that, so I'm heading to my place a day earlier than originally planned, so as to not have to spend the whole day in my car.
Today I am thankful for many things, and I hope that you have blessings to count too!
Why Blog?
I'm a 22 year college graduate, documenting the things in my life that I want to always remember. The big things, the little things, the crazy things, the everyday things. It gets a bit random at times, and sometimes I like to ponder on the craziness of life. There's nothing earth-shattering here, but I like to think it's all fun to read. Read, leave me comments, ask questions, enjoy.

November?!
When did that happen? I cannot believe how quickly the past month has gone by. I stayed living with the boys until the 12th, and then returned to living on my own. My ankle is not at 100% yet, unfortunately, but I started physical therapy last Monday, so hopefully that will help. Not too much out of the ordinary going on out here; just working to finish up tests/projects for my classes and hanging out with friends. I'm loving the cooler weather, and I'm looking forward to the snow. The strange realization that I am not moving home in a six months is starting to sink in - I'm here for the long haul now. It's a good thing I love my job, because I would hate to have to live this life every day for the next number of years if I didn't like it. Anyway, I'm off to get ready to head downtown for a weekly t.v. show viewing date. Hope all is well with you, and I should be back soon.
