Friday afternoon I finished up a 5 week {felt like 5 years} rotation block. I was more than elated to be wrapping things up, and even more excited about heading south for a weekend with my family. July was the last time I set foot in the house I grew up in, and for me that's just unacceptable. I was in dire need of some time well spent at home.
Weekend positives
+ Waking up in my own, comfy bed
+ Coffee and a homemade breakfast
+ Picking pumpkins from the patch for mom's porch {say that 5 times fast}
+ Receiving sound advice from my parents on what the heck I should do with my life
+ College football ALL DAY LONG. Rammer Jammer???
+ Dad's burgers fresh from the grill
+ Watching mom attempt to figure out ichat on her new MAC computer and then proceed to ichat with my brother....on the other end of the couch
+ Church & Sunday lunch
+ Yummy leftovers sent home with me
It was a much needed, restful weekend. I still get teary-eyed when I leave and I'm not sure I'll ever grow out of that. Weekends like this make me so grateful for a family that loves and cares for me, even when I'm un-lovable. We certainly aren't perfect, but we have tons of fun when we're together.
