These are two pictures from my fall break this past weekend... I'm pretty sure the second one has to be the best of the entire trip. Yes, that's my dad -- and I'm proud of him. (love me, dad)
My fall break this semester was awesome -- maybe one of my favorites. It was quite the "homecoming" (note: I did not wear a fabulous gown, nor did I receive a crown) considering I hadn't seen my parents or friends in two months. That's definitely the longest I've ever been away from home... My brother Jason and his wife, Meghan, joined us for the weekend. Thursday night I met up with some friends for supper and that was fun. It was so good to see them and spend time with them! I didn't realize how much I had really missed them. I love being in good company.
Friday my family and I visited a pumpkin patch -- something I never had the pleasure of doing as a native Floridian. It was quite enjoyable. (minus the rainy weather) Friday night we enjoyed some delectable homemade brunswick stew made by none other than my dad. For dessert and entertainment: homemade brownies, a delightful game of Outburst from 1983, and Baby Mama. It was quite a night.
Saturday we just kind of "hung out" and then had supper at my Nana's house. A good time was had by all... Sunday was bittersweet. I went to church and had to say goodbye to friends, never a fun thing to do. Thank goodness I only have a month away until I'm home again for Thanksgiving! It can't get here soon enough. We made our trek back home and enjoyed the most amazing lunch ever. My mom is the best cook ever, hands down. Someday I hope to be that good :) I packed my car, hugged my parents goodbye, and started my drive back home. I cried. True story. I hate leaving home -- I never feel happy, you know? Of course, my mom called to tell me that she cried and in for some bizarre reason it made me feel good -- I'm missed. They really, truly miss me. It always feels nice to know that someone, somewhere misses you. Someday, just someday.
Cheers.
