I Feel a Blog Coming On...

This past Christmas has been absolutely amazing. My friends and family are so good to me! The greatest gift of all was being able to go to Iowa to visit my family out there. I had a blast! I got to spend some good, quality time with all of them. And I really enjoyed being able to spend time with my little brother and sister. They are two amazing kids and I feel fortunate to have them as my sibilings. I can't wait to see all the greatness they'll accomplish when they grow up! We had fun playing in the snow under the moonlight, seeing avatar, playing guitar hero, creating Mii's on the wii, and watching the old Christmas claymation films while acting them out. It was great and very much needed! It helped console me, in a sense. I mean, this may sound kinda crazy and stupid, but just knowing that they do still "exist" relieved me. It was nice seeing their routines and meeting their neighbors. But like all good things, it had to come to an end. I came home this past Saturday and I haven't really had time to accept the fact that I am, indeed, back home and things have to go back to normal. Coming home is always bittersweet. It's so nice to be back in your own surrounds (room, house, etc.), but it sucks that reality has to check in as well. And saying bye (oh, excuse me, I mean "see ya later") to four people is not easy...Especially when you're leaving and going home by yourself. But I sucked it up like a big girl. However, you know what makes it so worthwhile to come home?? How happy everyone is to see you. It's almost as if they never realized what they had until you left. Everyone (coworkers, friends, family, parents at work) has expressed how glad they are that I'm back. That's a nice feeling, to know that I am appreciated and loved. And I mean that with all sincerity. Anyways, that just about wraps it up. Just wanna end this by saying that I appreciate each and every single one of you who read this. I'm so grateful to have you in my life :)
